A Great Anime

Rating: 8/10 (21 October 2009)

I consider it: Anime -
9/10 Story - It's a very good story -
9/10 Visual - It's pretty old, but still looks great today -
8/10 Action - Maybe not quite as action packed as modern anime fans might like, but still very good -
3/10 Acting - Yes is it possible for cartoons to act poorly, especially the 'townsfolk' with the unbearingly whiny voices -
5/10 Flow - You might be scratching your head a couple times -
NA/10 Humor - Not intended to be funny -
NA/10 Audio - Nothing exceptional, it's a fairly old movie -
10/10 Predictability - It's very bizarre, so it's impossible to predict anything in my opinion -
10/10 Originality - Quite creative with some stunning imagery -
8/10 Rewatchability - I'm happy to watch it about once every few years -
First off, I'm a big anime fan. This is a great anime, and back in the day it was truly amazing. Right up there with Princess Mononoke in my opinion. Focuses on the story, not how powerful a giant robot can be like many anime, or who can shoot the biggest energy balls. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy those anime too! They're fun. But Akira offers a lot more than your average anime.
