One of the Most Groundbreaking films in Animation

Rating: 10/10 (20 April 2011)

It is indeed the greatest animated film of all time. The film broke many boundaries in animation, such as the storytelling, the action scenes and the content. I love how it doesn't try to be a kids movie, and that the film is mature, dark, and even sometimes dramatic. Most animated films in the 80s were mostly intended for children (i.e. Disney, Don Bluth) But what about the content of the movie? Well lets see. We got great characters, a great storyline, and great visual storytelling. I also love the soundtrack to the film. The soundtrack is mostly made up with Japanese Taiko drumming, and at times traditional Japanese music. It's a pretty unique soundtrack for an animated film. Akira has been praised by film critic Roger Ebert, giving the film thumbs up, and ever since Akira has been released in 1988, the film has developed a cult following, getting fans worldwide. This movie is very violent and graphic, so if you can handle the violence, you can handle the movie.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR ANIMATION FANS.
