Description
A metal DVD case that houses both a 4k and a regular copy of the film Akira (1988), both available in Japanese, English, as well as a remastered English dub a few years later. Contains special artwork on the front and back that is exclusive to the steelbook case, as well as special artwork on both discs as well.
ID: A red metal DVD case. On the front is the film's protagonist, Caneda, sitting on a throne of debris and looking forward. Above him, in a darker red, is in big bold font, AKIRA. On the back is the same red background and AKIRA text, but Caneda is closer. Shows his shoulders up, and he is wearing a red biker jacket with goggles around his neck. The right side of his face blends into a city skyline, and his right shoulder turns into debris of rubble and pipes. The spine of the case is red with AKIRA in text, and adjacent to it is Akira in Japanese. On the inside of the case, on the left there is the Blu-ray disc, which is primarily green and shows what seems to be the start of a nuclear explosion. The disc on the right is the 4k Ultra HD Blu-Ray, which is primarily red and has what looks like a star in the center of it.
