Review of Akira

Liked: Art and Animation: This is hands down one of if not the most consistently visually impressive pieces of animation ever released. The level of detail, the fluidity of the movements of the characters and also the unique and striking art style help this film to truly stand out among it's contemporaries. Sound: The soundtrack and even the regular sound effects like that for firing a gun or something exploding are simply top notch, as the sound helps to build a strange and scary sort of atmosphere that helps keep interest. Characters: Many are given more than enough charm and style to help them tobe remembered, as the vast majority are members of biker gangs they have a delinquent sort of characterization surround all of them.

Disliked:
Story: The story tries to talk about very deep and complex themes but doesn't go into much detail considering this is adapted from a phone book length manga.
