| In 1988, the landmark Anime film AKIRA, by Director Katsuhiro Otomo defined the cutting edge of Anime around the world. By today's standards, AKIRA remains a landmark achievement in cel animation and retains the explosive impact of its highly detailed animation and its intensely violent saga of power and corruption. Childhood friends Tetsuo and Kaneda's motorcycle gang encounters a military operation to retrieve an escaped experimental subject. The military captures Tetsuo and conducts experiments on him that unleash his latent psychic ability, but when these new powers rage out of control, Tetsuo lashes out at the world that has oppressed him! |  |
| When I think of anime the first thing that comes to my mind is Akira. This movie is a favorite of many because of the variety of the film. It is one of the best action films ever made. It has great art work with a lot of cool effects that you don't see much. However, the part that makes Akira special in my mind is the story. It's one of those movies you can't stop thinking about. The first time you watch it you think it is a regular movie, that is untill you get near the end and you just start to think it's messed up and doesn't make sense. As you try to figure out whats going on it all starts to make a little sense. By the time the movie is over you are thinking about it non-stop. You can't wait untill you can see it again. There are many themes in the movie rangeing from friendship to human nature. Akira is a must have for any Anime fan. It has great action and a great story. The themes in this movie can be applied to real life, it is a real eye opener to the way society acts. Akira will always be one of the best movies of all time. I give it a 9 out of 10. |  |
