Great film, BAD remastering

Rating: 7/10 (7 September 2014)

First off, Akira was one of the best anime films of it's time. The story, characters, and animation itself are amazing! Anyone who truly appreciates Japanese culture and art MUST experience this film.
Here's my problem: The new English cast. Just awful. In the original, the voices and acting actually MATCHED the characters. The new cast was supposedly an attempt to produce a mre "accurate" English dub, but the film lost so much with the new dub.
This is NOT pining away for the "old school" version and being all nostalgic. I think anyone who experienced the originial would agree. Good thing I still got an original copy. On friggin' VHS.
