Nice animation, but confusing

Rating: 6/10 (30 July 2001)

As a neophyte in the world of anime`, I was hyped to see Akira, generally regarded as the best anime` movie ever. It was kind of a letdown. You should basically read Leonard Maltin's review for a nice capsule on it. Great animation but the story was confusing and the constant explosions/destruction was gratuitous. **** for art, ** for story. Recommended for those who have the patience.
