You won't be disappointed!

Just so...so bad

Don't listen to the Hype. It's awful

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

AKIRA is an anime which is based on the 1982 manga by the same name it's written by katushiro otomo who also directed the anime the problem is that AKIRA doesn't cover all of the original comic which is kind of disappointing but the movie is still really good and highly recommend for those who never been into anime the art style is the best thing you'll see in the movie neo tokyo never looked so epic in 1988 for a movie since my neighbor totoro (never seen that movie yet or even spirted away and princess mononoke)the eng dub sucks tbh just watch it in japanese dub which i would highly recommend before watching it (i also have kaneda's jacket might put it up for display in my room) bike chase scenes have alot of mad max themes to it which is why i love this movie wish i could buy a bike that's like what shotaro kaneda rides that's much of the review i may edit it sometime

Perfect. A masterpiece! The animation, the plot, the characters.

I recently saw Akira for the first time, and I'm not a big fan of anime, but I must say this film blew me away. Set in Neo-Tokyo, a city built on an artificial island after a devastating nuclear war destroys not only Tokyo, but the rest of the world. A member of a motorcycle gang named Tetsuo has a chance encounter with a strange boy which unlocks secret telekinetic abilities within him. Tetsuo cannot control these abilities as they take him over in a ferocious rampage to find this enigmatic character known as Akria. Now, his friends, a group of psychics, and the Neo-Tokyo military attempt to stop him before its too late.Akira's art style is unlike anything of the genre, its colors and design is something you would see in a fever dream. The direction is excellent and the world is perfectly created to make a unique and amazing universe that quite obviously inspired many future films. The story is very complicated, the beginning goes by very fast, but it doesn't take away from the film, in fact, it demands a second viewing from you the moment ends. US companies spent over 1 million dollars to restore the visuals as well as adding an entire new soundtrack/sound FX, which was definitely worth every penny, as the film is spectacular to the senses.Over all, its a superb film that requires multiple viewings. Highly recommended.

Beautifully detailed animation, vivid palette of colors. Perfectly intertwined storylines, all about the fascinating concept of Akira, pure energy. Something so perfect in metaphor and in the literal sense of this storyline, a concept that everyone has but not all are meant to. Worth to watch many times, just for the character arc of Tetsuo alone. I really liked it.
