Deserves more than a 7.9.

Rating: 10/10 (9 March 2012)

This movie honestly blew my mind when I watched the first 30 minutes of this. Everything I saw was really amazing and nothing not even my bedtime could lure me away from Akira. I hold this as a really extraordinary masterpiece (next to the Street Fighter II anime film) in my opinion, and I don't see why any anime fan can consider themselves an otaku without watching this. This will blow you away and I'm not lying, watch and be amazed. I mean sure there's a lot of graphic content (that Mutation scene still freaks me out), so this is primarily aimed at an older audience. I really consider this to be one of the best anime films I've seen thus far and if you have not seen this, DO IT NOW. If not, then you are crazy.
