Some of the Japanese manga versions contains a different ending than
the English version since Otomo decided to rewrite the ending. The English
versions are in color. Akira was released in several versions on videotape
(subbed/dubbed, leterrbox/pan & scan), theatrical, and twice on laserdisc
by Streamline/Criterion in a Bilingual format (124 minutes) CAV as well
as CLV. There are also supplemental videos relating to the production of
Akira. The English manga is much more detailed than the animation and covers
everything in the animation. Reading the English manga should be a prerequisite
before viewing the animation. There is also the Akira Production Report
(52 minutes, dubbed) from Streamline that describes how the movie was made.

Area 88-Animerica (Viz) Vol. 1 No. 8-Vol. 3 No. 2
Story and Art: Kaoru Shintani
There is a several book Japanese manga which appears to have material
not found in the English manga. The English manga does not reach the end
of the story nor does it reach to the end of the animations. Viz publishes
the last 6 issues (#37-42) without Eclipse. The stories
in Animerica continue where the comic book ends. There are 3 acts to Area
88 and they are available subtitled in English from U. S. Manga Corps on
3 videotapes or 3 laserdiscs (CLV). Act 1: The Blue Skies of Betrayal is
50 min, Act 2: The Requirements of Wolves is 57 min, and Act 3: Burning

Astro Boy 40th Anniversary Ultimate Fan Guide-DMD Sep 2003
Astroboy Episode Guide-The Right Stuf Jan 92
The book is very vague about the storylines
of each episode, like it doesn't want to give away any of the surprises in
that episode, therefore making it very hard to determine exactly what happened
in that episode.
The Astroboy TV episodes are available with 2 episodes per videotape
(50 min.) and 4 episodes per laserdisc (100 min.). All the episodes are
dubbed and distributed by The Right Stuf. There were a lot more TV episodes
shown in Japan than were shown in the U.S. Increasing violence had the show
taken off U.S. TV. I know nothing about the Japanese manga. Additional color
dubbed Astroboy episodes are available from Manga Ent. These are the same
episodes seen on Canadian TV and released on videotape in Austrialia. The
lastest Astroboy TV series was brought to the U.S. by Sony and is currently being
aired on the KidsWB. The Astro Boy Cine-Manga from TokyoPop uses images
from this series. The Astroboy TV series was known as Tetsuwan Atomu in Japan.
