Is that Akira poster officially licensed or fan art?

Was there any reason for this? I wouldn't mind owning an Akira BD.

Perhaps this will suit the needs of the seekers?
If you have a Moviestop near you, ask them to check the warehouse inventory. It's OOP, but their warehouse has tons of crap still there. They can order it to the store. That's how I got mine a few months ago for about $35 IIRC.
When stressed about getting a drop, just remember: it will decay into the same organic matter as inevitably as your rotting corpse no matter how much museum glass you put in front of it.

Fan art. I'm not even sure if Mondo's is officially licensed, to be honest.

I always thought that was the reason it was never "sold" anywhere, and that it does not show up in the Mondo Online Archive

Blu-Ray is the Pioneer dub. Only way to get the Streamline is OOP DVDs or the Madmen Blu-Ray in Australia.

You can still get the awesome steelbook edition of the Akira Blu ray in the UK for £12. Guess it's European region locked though

I've got a few out of print DVDs but not blu-rays. I have the Jarhead still sealed that went out of print on it's release day. It'd be nice to find the Akira for under $80.00.
