Anime classic?

Rating: Null/10 (25 March 2001)

To anime fans, Akira is what some may call "one of the greatest anime movies ever". Even though that's true, Akira does have it's flaws (as do most popular movies). First, the plot is confusing (it is based on a manga) so it might make sense the first time you see it. Also there's the amount of gore, Akira is often stereotyped for being filled with blood, that's partly true, sure there is lots of blood and gore, but not in a horror movie type of way. If you look past it's flaws, Akira is one of those movies that stands out. And with it's re-release coming soon, Akira looks to continue it's legacy for a long time
