Review of Akira (1988) by Evan J — 05 Jun 2013

Once again I find me asking myself why I didn't start watching Anime until now!?

After Spirited Away I had become somewhat fascinated with Japanese Anime. My Neighbor Totoro added fuel to the fascination. And now Akira, WOW! I can now say with confidence that I love Anime.

This film was: exciting, visually stunning, beautiful, creative, deep, magical, and action packed! Akira literally blew me away. Starting at the fast paced first scene until the rolling credits I was hooked! I find it hard to believe that this is 25 years old. If I was told this was made yesterday, I would believe it 100%.

I need to check out Manga as soon as possible!
