Review of Akira

I did not understand that at all... I can't say it was good and I can't say it was bad... Disclaimer: before anyone attempts to say my age has anything to do with me not liking this, I remember when this movie dropped on VHS almost rented it at blockbusters choose to get Gall Force; Enternal Story glad I did, had I even watched it then I would have had this same empty feeling I have now. Only probably a lot more so and instead of continuing on to like a lot of anime would have probably been completely turned off to it. I like themain character, the graphics where good, the mutations where interesting, the music was strange in a good way, the story left much to be desired, nothing was ever actually fully explained but enough was there to see the potential unfortunately it felt like the addition of that potential was more of an after though to the action.

I have a couple of friends who like to write stories and whenever they run out of idea's they randomly insert a random "then the world ended" or "suddenly the apocalypse happened." I could have sworn this was done by one of those friends, LOL. I kept waiting for stuff to be explained as it held my interest slightly had me curious what was going on, and then the world just ended and nothing was explained... I even typically find the best movies or tv shows are the ones that keep you guessing or questioning, even if nothing is explained at the end it gives this unsettled feeling but keeps ya interested with questions all the way through. This was hardly like that and honestly just felt shallow the entire time. Didn't have enough bad qualities to be bad, and didnt have enough qualities to be good. Just shallow...
