If you have a BD player and a Walmart close by that has an endcap of anime you can find Funi's release for about $20 which has I believe both US dubs and Japanese with English subs but I'd have to find my copy to be sure. I think there was a n Australian release that had both dubs on DVD and some other stuff but I can't seem to locate one. So, both CLV and CAV releases have CC's? If so, YES!!! There's one thing, though, the back of the CAV jacket doesn't seem to mention CC's anywhere? Also, is it really worth this much? http://www.ebay.com/itm/AKIRA-1987-LASE ... 3cdcc95da1

xtempo wrote: After checking I can't seem to get CC working so I guess maybe it doesn't have it. Also look around for either edition you can find them pretty cheap. I just bought the Pioneer DVD of Akira. I don't care if it doesn't have the Streamline dub, it mostly matters to me if it has Japanese with English subtitles, and it's still a great deal for $5.20. I'll probably get the CLV Criterion LD when I get money (I saw it once on eBay go for under 15 dollars.)

I actually just got Akira (1988) [SF070-1550] in the mail today. It surprisingly looks amazing for a 1988 release, and it easily rivals the 2001 Pioneer DVD.

This is a screenshot taken from Akira (1988) [SF070-1550]. Sorry if it doesn't have the greatest quality. It looks much sharper in real life. Tell me what you guys think.

What player are you using? I like this film alot but I've already got three copies of it and I've seen it once on 35mm (beat that!) so I've had enough for a while. I use a Pioneer CLD-V2600 (Not the best player, I know.), and I took the snapshot using an EasyCap (This is probably the main reason why it doesn't look as good as it does in real life. )
