You'll either love it or hate it

Akira is a Sci-Fi/Horror about the dangers of playing with technology beyond our ability to understand or control. Animation quality is amazing, especially considering all of it was completely hand-drawn. It occasionally gets a bit excessively gory and some of the plot is cliched, but still a good movie to watch. Read the manga if you have the chance, too--the ending is vastly different and very surprising.
