It’s been at least 17 years since I last watched Akira. Probably time I go through it again.

Never thought of it but seeing this, it’s definitely the case

Cyberpunk actually has zero references to outside media, they just designed it like that for fun
Ferrovore
Yes and kinda a no. Such bars and clubs, as in remodeled cellars, are real. I mean Akira didn’t invent that and some of them are legendary. At least some in underground music gerne scenes like punk. Those 50 to 100 people basements, that get stuffed with 200. Where the bands can actually see ALL faces of the front rows if not even of the whole audience.
That shadow gig with Johnnies old band. That kind of evening, night and morning.
