One of the reasons it cost so much to make is that the creator was adamant that nearly most of the film must take place at night, which meant more complex colours and shading was needed. :''D

I loved this movie, yeah it was a bit all over the place around the middle point, it at least had likeable characters and absolutely amazing animation (and even the dub had decent voice acting) there is another movie made around the same time that, that had a similar sort of concept which is Urotsukidoji legend of the overfiend (which would be very questionable to let a child watch) it failed in every aspect that Akira mastered. Do not even try to watch the dub, the voice acting is some of the worst I've heard. Though one anime series I'd like to see reviewed is Genocyber, yeah it's awful, but I'd say it's an underappreciated "horror" anime (and apparently the manga is considered bad) It had a lot of potential, but nothing connected, I'd love to see a Mecha gore anime that actually has a good plot but those days of anime are far gone, it's just not a popular genre.

I saw this movie when I was maybe 8. My parents had no idea what anime was back then and just thought it was a VHS cartoon. If it's animated it must be for kids right? I also saw Watership Down and Grave of the Fireflies. I remember constantly thinking my little sister and I were going to have to leave home and fend for ourselves, but my even younger sister just had a morbid curiosity for it and to this day she still loves movies with blood and gore way more than I do.

I saw it as a young adult and was like... "WTF is this shit?" For starters why is it even called Akira when he never appears and remains just a legend? Then we have Tetsuo whom Kaneda tries to save, and remains a friend of, suddenly out of nowhere kill his old gang. Why exactly? Sure the power has gone to his head but I expected him to first take revenge on the clown gangs maybe... not kill his own friends. Additionally, the movie has tons of subplots like the rebel leader being a fake, the government, the Dr Wily style mad scientist, none of which goes anywhere because they condensed the manga. And given that the director WAS the manga writer, they had no excuse.

God. What a fucking insane movie. The plot, characters & relationships, the politics, the music and oh my goddddd the animation 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️ the body horror especially is just... Holy shit. I watched this in high school, and I was still not prepared. What an amazing, terrifying, fascinating, intensely depressing fucking movie... But yes, that fucking animation is just... ★★★★★! 10000/10000! I cry every time I watch it. Not many films are so intense and so unfair to it's characters, with everyone getting brutalized and the gore and again, the body horror... This is up there with not just any Miyazaki film in terms of story and animation, but any animated film. Even better than most live action. Speaking of which... A small part of me secretly wants a live action, but... could you imagine how fucking bad a live action remake would really be? I just don't think anyone could even attempt the grand scale, but ~maybe~ Gasper Noe could maybeeee try? Idk. They'd white wash the shit out of it, the effects would trash, the costumes would be too pretty and they'd cut down on the gore and death too much. I'm battling with a want for a live action, but no need. Hollywood, please don't. Also, Tetsuo's gf deserved better. "KANEDAAAA!" "TETSUOOOOO!"

So i just re-watched it after all these years, and here's my takeaway: While it may be groundbreaking and beautiful animation, the story is FUCKING STUPID!! NOTHING PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN PEOPLE STANDING AROUND GAWKING "AAAHHHH OAHHHHHA" WHEN FUCKING CREEPING DEATH IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!!!! ALL THOSE FUCKING MORONS DESERVED TO FUCKING DIE, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU STAND THERE WHEN ALL THAT SHIT IS HAPPENING??? OH SO AWFUL SHIT CAN HAPPEN. LAZY WRITING AT ITS WORST. AND IF TWO CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WERE SO CLOSE, WHY WOULDN'T KANEDA OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER TRY TO APPEAL TO HIM TO BE GOOD??? AT NO POINT DID ANYONE TRY TO SYMPATHIZE AND JUST BE NICE TO THE FUCKIN KID. NO, JUST ATTACK HIM AND CALL HIM NAMES TILL HE EXPLODES. OH AND LETS NOT EVER FUCKING RUN FOR OUR LIVES. FUCK THAT MOVIE!!!! YES THE ANIMATION IS GORGEOUS, BUT WHO FUCKING CARES WHEN THERE'S NO PROPERLY CONNECTED STORY TO CARE ABOUT. AT NO POINT DID I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. IM GLAD IM NOT SO FUCKING NAIVE AS I WAS IN MY 20s. THE BEST THAT CAN BE SAID FOR AKIRA IS THAT ITS A MILESTONE IN ANIMATION. ITS BEEN WAY OVERRATED AS A MOVIE. FUCK AKIRA.

Sadly there was an American cartoon inspired by Anime, and I'm not talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender or the legend of Korra, this show was called ExoSquad witch you can watch on NBCUniversal streaming Service called Peacock for free under the kid's section. Despite its adult subjects like racism, slavery, and the harshness of war. And not afraid to kill off main characters. They even went kinda Game of Thrown like with their Second and last season. And sadly no one even remembers or cares nowadays. :(

I remember this as my first anime I ever saw (discounting stuff like battle of the planets or speed racer) around 1990. The visuals and soundtrack were just amazing although some of the finer points were lost initially. I wore out that original VHS tape and rewatched it at a friends house much later on, but they redubbed it with different voice actors that did a far worse job than the original crew (the snippets I heard on this were the redub). Finally, around late college and the advent of multilingual DVDs I watched it with the original Japanese, which tends to make more sense storywise but you miss out on a lot of beauty of the production.

So i just re-watched it after all these years, and here's my takeaway: While it may be groundbreaking and beautiful animation, the story is FUCKING STUPID!! NOTHING PISSES ME OFF MORE THAN PEOPLE STANDING AROUND GAWKING "AAAHHHH OAHHHHHA" WHEN FUCKING CREEPING DEATH IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF THEM!!!! ALL THOSE FUCKING MORONS DESERVED TO FUCKING DIE, WHY THE FUCK WOULD YOU STAND THERE WHEN ALL THAT SHIT IS HAPPENING??? OH SO AWFUL SHIT CAN HAPPEN. LAZY WRITING AT ITS WORST. AND IF TWO CHILDHOOD FRIENDS WERE SO CLOSE, WHY WOULDN'T KANEDA OR ANYONE FOR THAT MATTER TRY TO APPEAL TO HIM TO BE GOOD??? AT NO POINT DID ANYONE TRY TO SYMPATHIZE AND JUST BE NICE TO THE FUCKIN KID. NO, JUST ATTACK HIM AND CALL HIM NAMES TILL HE EXPLODES. OH AND LETS NOT EVER FUCKING RUN FOR OUR LIVES. FUCK THAT MOVIE!!!! YES THE ANIMATION IS GORGEOUS, BUT WHO FUCKING CARES WHEN THERE'S NO PROPERLY CONNECTED STORY TO CARE ABOUT. AT NO POINT DID I GIVE A SHIT ABOUT ANY OF THE CHARACTERS. IM GLAD IM NOT SO FUCKING NAIVE AS I WAS IN MY 20s. THE BEST THAT CAN BE SAID FOR AKIRA IS THAT ITS A MILESTONE IN ANIMATION. ITS BEEN WAY OVERRATED AS A MOVIE. FUCK AKIRA.

Sadly there was an American cartoon inspired by Anime, and I'm not talking about Avatar: The Last Airbender or the legend of Korra, this show was called ExoSquad witch you can watch on NBCUniversal streaming Service called Peacock for free under the kid's section. Despite its adult subjects like racism, slavery, and the harshness of war. And not afraid to kill off main characters. They even went kinda Game of Thrown like with their Second and last season. And sadly no one even remembers or cares nowadays. :(

I still have the VHS copy of this that I ordered out of the back of 'Heavy Metal' magazine when I was a junior in high school back in 1993. One of my favorite all-time movies, animated or live action.

If you think the movie is bad you should pick up the books! 6 books each well over 200 pages and roughly $30-$40 or more in USD. Very dark, grim, and very good

I remember this as my first anime I ever saw (discounting stuff like battle of the planets or speed racer) around 1990. The visuals and soundtrack were just amazing although some of the finer points were lost initially. I wore out that original VHS tape and rewatched it at a friends house much later on, but they redubbed it with different voice actors that did a far worse job than the original crew (the snippets I heard on this were the redub). Finally, around late college and the advent of multilingual DVDs I watched it with the original Japanese, which tends to make more sense storywise but you miss out on a lot of beauty of the production.
