Very interesting anime....

Rating: 9/10 (12 October 2003)

Before I give out the information about dubbings and such,I'll get to my brief review.Akira is based on the manga series which lasted from 1983 to 1993 therefore the ending to the movie is different from the manga ending.I think both endings are good,but the movie does leave a lot of unanswered questions.The story is detailed,but comprehensive,the characters are good,and it's visually awesome.
Now to the subs and dubs.Most likely the people who don't like this movie probably saw it in the original 1988 dub,which isn't very good.The 2001 dub is far more accurate,but if you want to see Akira at it's best you should watch it with subtitles unless you speak Japanese,then there is no need for them.Akira gets 9/10.
