Pros: Animation, Artistic Style, Story, Disturbing Cons: Giant Kinetically Inclined Teddy Bears With Milk Seeping From Their Stiches
Of the thousands of anime movies out there, chances are that most people have only heard of a few of the more highly publicized North American releases. Movies such as Spirited Away, Princess Mononoke, Ninja Scroll, and Akira are among the ...
Pros: Fantastic story, wonderful animation, characters, astounding music- Cons: Execrable English captioning. A little confusing and violent.
For the first movie that was the epitome of much of the anime that followed, AKIRA was landmark Japanese animation. It was not the first animated film, nor arguably the best, but it had all the elements to make it popular-and to keep it highly...
Pros: Captivating world, beautifully drawn, great story line, plenty of extras. Cons: Not_for children, which_isn’t exactly a con. There is_an anime attempted rape scene for_those that_are conservative.
According to some people, this is the father of modern anime. The old Anime I know of is very cartoony and unrealistic. Both in how they were drawn, how they moved, and the physical feats the characters performed. This movie is more like a live action ...
It’s been said that you can do a lot more with animation than you can do in real life because animation has a leveling effect on the special-effects budget. This is evident in films such as Akira. Let’s face it; the movie starts out with a ...
Akira is one of the all time classic animations, featuring a complex story that works as a cautionary tale about letting our weapons get out of control. It's probably best if I don't go into the story too much as it really is one of those films where ...
This is one review I owe, very belatedly to another user. Well trust me to be this late for ssjakira's Ani

Outsider write-off . I am new to Anime myself, and I had to enter this write-off because I am aware that ...
Pros: Groundbreaking art and animation. Remastered score, intelligent new translation and dub enhance an already-brilliant movie. Cons: One of the subplots is a little hard to follow.
Normally, I wouldn't waste my time and yours by writing a review of a product that already has forty-odd reviews and expecting anybody to read it. However, now that I've seen the re-mastered, re-dubbed Akira Limited Special Edition, my fingers...
Pros: Great Story, Animation, Characters Cons: Nothing
To put it simply, and to begin this review, Akira was the one to break new ground in anime and also grab the western world’s attention. Also, it started a new wave in animation circles, proving that it can be cutting edge and appeal to young adults. ...
Pros: Beautiful, great score, surreal. Cons: Murders the original plot, lousy ending, perhaps too intense mentally for some viewers.
Modern literature has been most friendly to comics and graphic novels in the past few decades, works like Alan Moore's Watchmen and V for Vendetta are now considered among the best novels written in the 20th century and the stories have ...
Pros: beautiful animation, original story. Cons: Japanese storytelling is a bit too surreal.
The Japanese probably have the wildest imaginations and the greatest spirit for action and adventure. They see animation in a much different manner than we do, and "Akira" is proof positive of that. The story takes place in the far future, in ...
Akira was quite a ride when I first saw it. Pretty much everything kept me hooked. But when the film was released on DVD, Geneon decided to release a new dub, and left the original version I had first seen on VHS. Now at first, I figured that ...
Pros: Animation, performances Cons: May be too violent for some viewers at times
In July, 1988, the city of Tokyo, Japan, was destroyed by a nuclear explosion. The blast leads to World War III a few hours after. 31 years later, gangs are terrorizing Neo-Tokyo, a city on an artificial island in Tokyo Bay near the old city of Tokyo. ...
I decided to watch Akira again after playing it up so much in my top ten animated films article. I feared that perhaps I'd played it up too much, that the years had been too kind on my memory. But memory has served me well. Akira is as...
Pros: Great story and animation effects. Cons: Confusing plot.
Years back, possibly around a decade ago, I remember seeing this film on video hyped to death on television commercials: and I wanted it. After constantly begging my Mom to order the film in the mail, I only ended up with the usual: "No!" ...
Pros: Great story, awesome animation. Cons: A bit confusing at times
This review is about to E X P L O D E! O.k. so it won't, but Neo-Tokyo will...
Now this is a real anime, I mean sure some of these new ones are good, but people just stop trying and that's why I usually go for the old school animes. Now...
