    Did this movie lose something in the translation? I imagine many of those who liked this movie based it on the name "Akira" and the picture of the bike on the original box.

    Best ever - nothing comes close

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Jul 15, 2003

    Akira IS by far the best Anime that has ever been created. Story, characters, animation, background, sounds, music what else can I say? If you consider yourself an Anime fan and haven't seen this yet then you cannot call yourself a fan anymore un...til you do. This movie IS that important to a collection. Read more Less

    The best

    This is one of the coolest anime movies I have ever seen. It has more violence and action than real movies.

    This is the "BEST" of anime?

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 30, 2002

    Oh please, don't make me laugh at that overly used, trite statement. "Akira" is considered the staple for any would-be otaku (or anime fan) to watch, along with Dragonball Z, but certainly there are better things out there. I wouldn't go so far as ...to trash it (like I am going to do to Ninja Scroll quite soon), but I'm not sitting here typing all caps and spelling words like "like" incoherently either. Akira is pretty much about this kid who is kind of the weakest link, and he's abducted by these mad scientists (or something, GOD DON'T SEND ME HATE MAIL FOR INACCURACIES) and has his inner psychic abilities realized, only to realize that, well, Neo-Tokyo's got to go. Not bad, and definitely some philosophic elements in there, but I can think of better. I wouldn't BUY it, but I'd recommend that virtually anyone watch it. BTW, if you saw those commercials on TV a few years ago, it does NOT make "Blade Runner look like Disney World," other than a few semi-gory scenes, it's not TERRIBLE on the violence scale, but I wouldn't call it "family viewing," either.

    ahh, Akira. I should thank a guy that told me about this movie and said it was pretty cool, and that i should watch it. . . he was right. It is a pretty cool movie... Theme was good, great plot, and... Timeless. Oh yeah, back to it, thanks...dude. Th...is movie is the coolest thing i've ever seen in anime. It is timeless, though. I'll probably be 30-something, and look back and say " that was a cool movie ..."to my kids... yep, i'm going to corrupt my children with anime... well, it was cool, n e anyone who is thinking about watching it, should..but, be warned... it has violence and greusome stuff in it, and that's what makes it so damn cool... and Nakaeda's bike...gggrrrrrr....love that bike... okay...other than that, beforewarned also, never, NEVER watch this movie at 5 in the morning on New Year;s, because you will fall asleep and wake up a half an hour later, knowing you were watching a good movie, and ruin it and... end up watching it again, so it's all good...

    The Good Stuff

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Mar 24, 2002

    Don't even think of calling yourself an anime fan unless you've seen THIS! Akira is nothing short of the best animated movie ever created. The cel art is beautiful, detailed, and even puts modern-day CGI to shame. Some of the best voice-acting you'll... ever hear; the characters are full of emotion. And above all, Akira stands as the most influential anime title. Ghost in the Shell, Neon Genesis Evangelion--these titles are superb and owe something to Akira. Although, you may not get into it the first time, Akira gets better with every view. Read more Less
