Akira kurasoa! A great Director!

Recently I watched a TV programme about this great man and developed a interest to follow his carrier and find out more about him. It is a vary fascinating story. It is no need to say how honored he is about his artistic works. The life story of him which he begin as a painter was something exciting.

He in his life as archived many milestones which would be a dream for any producer in the cinematic world. It is as a found out not very hard to find out information about this fascinating character as there are many sources to follow. So I am not going to post a complete biography about him from somewhere. Instead I will try to post as many as links as possible to watch his films or at least parts of them. Hope you will all enjoy it.
