A fine display of what Japanese animation has to offer.

Rating: 7/10 (21 March 2000)

Without a doubt one of the best Manga`s ever. Akira possesses the stunning fast paced animation that only Manga have been able to achieve, however it is not just that which makes it a classic, the story-line is detailed and in depth and never leaves the viewer bored, the dubbing is superb (and believe me, it makes a difference!) The music, although a bit annoying at first, complements the atmosphere very well. Overall these are the aspects that have allowed Akira to gain a cult following, and rightly so at for that matter!
