## Description

Kaneda is a bike gang leader whose close friend Tetsuo gets involved in a government secret project known as Akira. On his way to save Tetsuo, Kaneda runs into a group of anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader. The confrontation sparks off Tetsuo's supernatural power leading to bloody death, a coup attempt and the final battle in Toky

Review: A Magnificent Film From Beginning to End; Epic is an Understatement... - Neo-Tokyo 2019: Kaneda is the leader of a biker gang. His best friend, Tetsuo, gets injured during a fight with another biker gang, the Clowns. Kaneda and his gang get interrogated, while Tetsuo is medically examined. Colonel Shikishima and Doctor Onishi discover Tetsuo's incredibly dangerous psychic capabilities. Tetsuo, tired of being treated like child and always being saved by Kaneda, goes on a rampage across the city and Kaneda attempts to stop him from releasing Akira - the young psychic that destroyed Tokyo 31 years prior. Akira is a magnificent film from beginning to end; epic is an understatement for this captivating anime. The story in this film is fantastic. Yes, some aspects of the film are predictable, but it is still an insanely captivating story - I was hooked from beginning to end. The conflict within Tetsuo is particularly amazing to watch, especially as he changes; changes you can see his frustration from the beginning, and you can see how power-hungry he becomes when he realizes his power. The ending of the film is amazing and even thought-provoking to a point. If you're looking for action, this film is loaded with great action sequences, especially the second half of the film. The futuristic Tokyo setting is mesmerizing, and works well with the story. Although I prefer the Japanese, I found the English dub to be more than tolerable. The music is one of my favorite aspects of the film; it is so epic, so well-fitted and a soundtrack I can listen to without the movie. I own the Blu-ray of this film, which seems to be out-of-production now. It features both the Japanese and English audio, as well subtitles. The picture quality is superb, and the audio quality is great. (the visual style alone is beautiful.) If you can find a copy of this blu-ray, I highly recommend it. Overall, Akira is a superb anime; it is an action-packed, visually beautiful and epic film with a magnificent finale, while also being subtly thought-provoking. It is pure entertainment of the highest caliber. A must-own for fans of the genre, and fans of film in general. Akira has strong violence and gore, and some nudity.
Review: Great classic from Japan - There's nothing to be said about the film itself. It's a classic in animation with art like no other. You can really appreciate the artist work that went into drawing every scene. The price, watch out. desertcart doing desertcart things. I purchased for thirteen a month ago, now the "black friday deal" has it for eighteen.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly lives up to it's reputation
*by R***3 on January 11, 2018*

I just watched this via Amazon Prime for the first time. I've heard sop much about how "legendary", "inspiring", and "epic" this anime is. Constantly hearing "If you like anime you MUST WATCH THIS". I usually avoid those types of things. Let the hype die down and what not. but this specific film doesn't have hype, it has accolades. It has awards, and to this day is STILL part of pop culture. It's like an Atari, a classic beatles album, NWA's Straight Out of Compton, no mater how old it gets it gets the same response and respect. Since I now have no reason to NOT see this film I decided to give it a shot. First, this is full on anime. This is what anime is. Only hting it doesn['t have is giant robots. So if you are a casual anime watcher who only watches simple things like pokemon or something, the early parts can probably get confusing and you'll loose intrest. I'll admit, I almost did, but the story has a good way of throwing stuff at you like you're supposed to know what's going on but keeping you interested enough to keep watching to figure it out. It doesn't hold your hand through the story, you're just as lost and out of the loop as the citizens witnessing the event unfold but it does get explained, somewhat. At no point was I bombarded with loads of dialog explaining what was happening and why, I got the basics and was left to come up with my own why. The climax is huge even though the build up is swift it last quite a while. I found myself texting people for the first 10 minutes while trying to grasp what was happening to being fully ingaged and ignoring all other things. The art is amazing, one of the highlights of the entire movie. Characters are enjoyable and though many aren't seen often you do get invested in wanting to know more. The sound is amazing, just as good as any big blockbuster action film. I normally don't go around saying "you must see [insert movie]" but this is now one of the five movies I feel everyone, especially anime fans,. must see. I will admit I'm no die hard anime fan, I only watched dubbed anime and am pretty picky about it but this film proved to me why it earned it reputation, and I have a greater respect for anime that follow in it's footsteps.
