Read full review on AniList →Let's make one thing clear right off the bat: this review is gonna be positive. _Akira_ is not only my favorite anime but my favorite animated film bar none and one of my favorite films in general.

Read full review on AniList →There is no other movie like Akira. I’ve been spinning my thoughts over in my head ever since I finally got around to watching this storied classic, and that’s the conclusion I keep coming back to.

Read full review on AniList →Cyberpunk: dystopian futuristic science fiction, neon lights, complex ideas, and a certain style of music that I've always loved. One of the best examples of both written fiction and film of this genre is Katsuhiro Otomo's 1988 anime film _Akira_, based on his own manga series of the same name relea…

Read full review on AniList →~~~Akira is one of those anime I love to say I don't like despite revisiting it all the time because of its gorgeous attention to detail.

Read full review on AniList →Katsuhiro Otomo's core lies in the way he express and articulate. His delicate Mise-en-Scène is awesome as well, but 'how things are shown' are really important in manga and anime. It's usually called directing, and he showed innovation in this field. When you look at Otomo's works, it feels real. T…

Read full review on AniList →Akira is definitely one of those animes seen as a 'classic'. The animation is stunning and the colour scheme fits the cyberpunk genre perfectly. It subtly delves into topics that could've been seen as taboo for Japan. It involves slight gang culture, drug usage and prostitution and heavy sexualisati…

Read full review on AniList →It never feels good to watch a hailed classic and have it not click with you. While “not getting the themes” might be the root cause here, Neon Genesis Evangelion had a similar reputation while still being an enjoyable mecha regardless.
