Rating: 10/10 (10 April 2003)

This was an amazing movie that almost literally blew my mind. I think that's the problem most people have of it. It's a bit deep and very, very confusing. Unlike most movies which produce this much "what the heck?" in people, Akira is one
you can actually watch multiple times before you get what's going on. This is what makes the movie really good, it's fun to watch multiple times. You can't beat that last sequence! Viewers looking for a quick and dirty action anime be warned, Akira is action-packed but highly philosophical. Excellent in most all respects, though even I will admit parts of it drag a bit. Still, it's worth at least a try, and a must see for any true anime fan.
