Congrats to him. I credit 'Akira' with getting me interested in Japan in the first place way back when I was a teenager.

Otomo is a legend, Akira is the best epic since the Odessey it's a masterpeice, Domu is a masterpiece too. He's like the Francis Ford Coppla of manga though he put out a few things that are seminal masterpieces and the rest of his stuff just makes you annoyed that he wasn't reaching higher and trying to make anouther masterpiece. His short films in Neotokyo and Memories were fantastic (the one in Short Peace is probably great too I just haven't seen it yet) though and I'm a fan of Roujin Z and the live action Mushishi film he did. His manga outside of Akira and Domu is suprisingly hard to find in English I would love to read Fireball but haven't had any luck finding it. I just hope he gives us one more great epic manga or a really really good anime film adaptation of Domu he's incredibly talented as an artists and as a writer
