One of the best anime movies ever

Rating: 10/10 (6 May 2003)

I had seen Akira some years ago already (when I was twelve years old or something) but I couldn't quite remember the storyline and what happened in general. The only thing I remembered was the big teddy bear, but that was all. Just recently I bought Akira on DVD so I finally watched it again, after all these years.
I was stunned. The drawings were unbelievably great, the action wonderful and the storyline... hmmm... complicated, so I watched it again the same evening ^_^. I won't explain the storyline here but I can tell you it's great, quite complex and really intriguing. Another great element; the characters, Tetsuo and Kaneda most notably, really develop throughout the movie and what happens to them really affects and changes them.
What can I say more? This is probably one of the, maybe even thÃ© greatest anime movie ever. My advise is to watch it as soon you can. Warning: not for those who are faint of heart.
