Anime at its finest.

Rating: 10/10 (20 February 2006)

I saw Akira in about 1992. I was blown away then and blown away when I re watched it a few years ago.
In between that time I also saw a dubbed version and was somewhat less blown away. So stick with the subtitled version. It will take a few watches to understand everything going on in this film as the plot is very complicating. But if you stick with it it is probably amongst the most rewarding films you can watch.
The animation is fantastic and the story is amazing.
The characters are fantastic and the soundtrack really stands out.
Sometimes you forget you are watching and animation this film is so great.
whether you are a fan of anime or not you really should see this film...
