Confusing to the weak of mind. The best anime film ever.

Rating: 10/10 (19 February 1999)

The first time I saw Akira was when I was young. I remember thinking that the animation was superb but it was not until recently that I discovered it's true beauty. The plot, whilst complicated, is a tremendous example of imagination and foresight. The film draws you in and you really get a feeling of empathy for the characters. I recommend this film whole-heartedly to anyone who wants more than stunning visuals and violence (Akira has a balance of both).
