There aren't really that many anime films well-known in the U.S. that are based on manga. Akira, Nausicaa, Ghost in the Shell, Oldboy, maybe a couple others.

The comic doesn't stop at the destruction of neo tokyo and there is many story elements who are somewhat different even in the first part indeed. Originally Posted by choptop

That being all said, and in my very personal opinion, Akira does better as a movie than a manga.
