Review of Akira (1988) by Russ V — 21 Jul 2014
To start, I should say that I'm not an anime fan. I've never had anything against it, but before about a week ago the only anime I've really ever watched are shows like Pokemon when I was a kid.
But, I was recently convinced to give it a try, and from looking around a bit on the internet I found that for people who want to start watching anime, they are generally recommended to watch two things: Ghost in the Shell, and Akira.
And while I haven't checked out Ghost in the Shell yet, I've gotta say, I'm glad I gave a chance. I still will probably never become a big anime fan, but Akira is an excellent movie. It has great action, beautiful animation, and an engaging, thought-provoking, and incredibly original story.
