Possibly one of the finest films to ever come out of Japan

Rating: 10/10 (6 March 2000)

Akira is certainly gory, its certainly gritty, but after seeing it for the first time, I felt like crying. And not because it was bad. Akira is one of the most deeply emotional and incredible films I have ever seen. It certainly takes a (very) open mind to appreciate and understand it, but once you do, your imagination will explode.
