Still my favorite anime film

Rating: 10/10 (5 August 1998)

Akira was my first anime film I have ever seen and it hooked me from the start. Before seeing Akira my only experience in cartoon films have made for family viewing. This is definitly not for children under the age of 13 or for people who have a low tolarence for blood. Akira has a good view of a very violent and futuristic city. Although it is set in the future it still looks like what was created in the movie can be acheived by that time. The animation for this movie is fully animated unlike most anime films. If anyone is looking to start watching anime they should start on Akira and pay very close attention to it (I had to watch it 3 times before a caught every detail about it.) Although Akira looks like a 2 hour film of destruction it has a very deep stroy line in it.
