Review of Akira

Warning possible Spoilers This will probably for a good while be the oldest thing I've seen that's anime related and for an anime Movie/film that came out in the 1980's that looks this good is damn impressive. Akira is set in the year 2019 (which isn't too far away) after WW3 and one day while riding their bikes Kaneda and Tetsuo suddenly end up getting involved with something they wish they hadn't. I enjoyed the story it was interesting seeing how Tetsuo was changing after he had gained psychokinetic powers and how he suddenly learned to use it until he lost control of it and engulfed his body.I also enjoyed seeing Kaneda trying his best to help out Tetsuo even though he didn't accept his help at all which then lead to the both of them fighting each other.
It's difficult trying to explain the story because even though I enjoyed it was pretty confusing especially towards the end of the movie/film, but I did enjoy the story well the bit's that didn't go over my head.

The Characters were actually pretty good it was interesting seeing Kaneda's and Tetsuo's past which basically started the whole fight between them by the end because Tetsuo felt weak compared to Kaneda since he always looked after them so I liked the rivalry that developed between them. I thought the other supporting characters were alright, but felt like they were a way to advance the plot and didn't really get much development so I didn't really feel attached them by the end, the Espers however were a peculiar bunch since they had the same powers as Tetsuo because they were experimented on as children which gave the Movie/film a darker tone, but their usage in the Movie was basically so they could destroy Akira and give Tetsuo a run for his money which was really underwhelming.

I loved the Artstyle this is possibly one of the best things I've seen in anime because it just looks amazing, I liked the way the city was designed with it's dystopian setting plus the Bike Kaneda had is something I want to own it looked that cool, The destructive power that Tetsuo had was showed to great effect throughout the Movie/film, I liked the soundtrack too it gave off that distinct 80's vibe that stays with you.

I really enjoyed this film/movie despite it being confusing at times it is definitely a good watch for anyone who is into dystopian future's or seeing people go out of control with newly acquired powers or if you really want to see something that looks really good, if you're also an anime veteran this is certainly a requirement to watch
