That a 1988 movie, Akira, predicted this would happen.
It will be interesting to see if any references to Akira are made in 2020 Olympics. It would be an opportunity that would be hard to miss.
I am also expecting quite a few references to other anime. The last time the summer Olympics were held in Japan was way back in 1964. Japan has changed significantly since then.
Hell, Robocop also predicted Detroit going bankrupt but a lot of people saw this coming for years
I was expecting a Doctor Who reference in the opening ceremony at the London games since there was an episode years before with David Tennant carrying the torch. Sadly Harry Potter got the attention. I mean it was good and I like HP, but I really wanted to see DW get face time. I'm surely hoping for some anime references in 2020. Adult Swim also clicked on the Akira coincidence in one of their break bumps. Good to know its not isolated.
