Fearless

Rating: 9/10 (3 August 2019)

This is like if the X-Men villains were actually right to be afraid of mutants. Akira is a wonderfully insane action film, with incredible set pieces, complex but clear storytelling, and characters with full identities and strong arcs. The animation is stunning; the attention to detail is crazy, but so is the use of broad strokes to convey a moment. Best of all, it's completely fearless, in its visuals, plotting and themes.
