An AMAZING work of animation.

Rating: Null/10 (6 January 2003)

Akira, even the dubbed version, is possibly one of the greatest animes in the known universe. The post-apocalyptic story, set in the beautifully realised Neo-Tokyo of Kaneda and Tetsuo, and their battle manages to convey the sense of scale in the whole movie.
Then of course, it has the coolest bike in the history of any movie, animated or otherwise.
My only, relatively minor complaint, is that at times the animation and colours tend to look a little... washed out, and pale.
...oh, and Kaneda's pink shirt as well.
