Interesting innovation

Rating: Null/10 (18 February 2002)

Akira is an interesting concept, it's an animation for a mature crowd. Sit back and enjoy the visuals, Akira works on a visual status, so you have to listen to the English dub.
Akira's animation is moody, dark and unique in design, although it has been copied, I'm guessing not many have attained the God-like status of Akira.
What is it about? I don't quite understand it all, it does require a few viewings.
The English dub isn't perfect, ideally you want to read the subtitles and listen to the Japanese soundtrack, but the visuals make it impossible to do this for the first few viewings.
Enjoy Akira, it's a unique animation picture.
