Review of Akira (1988) by Jeffrey S — 05 Oct 2015
The first half I feel is a shining example of greatness that Anime can achieve. With fluid animation quality, heavy atmosphere, and a story that captures the brutality of an uncaring cyberpunk future mixed with some teen angst.
The second half kind of ruins it all with incomprehensible psychic children men things on Zardoz levels of abstract visuals and dialog that basically boils down to Kaenada and Tetsuo screaming each other's names.
Really not my kind of thing.
However that first half of the movie is pure gold.
