Katsuhiro Otomo’s seminal Anime classic Akira will soon be exploding onto IMAX screens in its full, newly remastered 4K glory.

Akira revolves around a secret military project that endangers Neo-Tokyo when it turns a biker gang member into a rampaging psionic psychopath that only two kids and a group of psionics can stop.

IMAX and Toho Studios released a poster that has a release date set for April 3rd, but considering the circumstances, our bet is that this re-release has been has been pushed back indefinitely.

For now, check out a recent promotional Trailer for Japan’s 4K Ultra HD blu-ray release:
