Is it? My understanding is that Japan didn’t have a lot of awareness of the AIDS crisis (and still doesn’t really?)

I thought the body horror was more associated with fears of scientific progress. I’ve only seen Akira once so I’d love to watch it again in light of other interpretations.

That part was just a joke. I'm saying the image itself represents being 30 in the 80s and being afraid of the AIDS crisis. Not that Akira itself is a metaphor for that lol
