Review of Akira
Tetsuo!, Kaneda!!! Akira Is a cyberpunk classic that is about two boys who keep yelling at each other. one of the first things that stands out is just how stylish and nice it looks. the bikes that leave light trails, the psychic stuff that looks awesome, the bodyhorror that is out of this world. and character design that makes everybody look very mature. And the detailed backgrounds that are some of the best I have ever seen. The music that is so distinct where they use mouth sounds like a instrument, and it gives it an entire Vibe of its own. And the story is fun we get throwninto it, like the main characters and have to figure out. the main character is so nice, He has a pure motive of wanting to be with this girl and he will do it and also save his friend, but it's just such a nice driver for the story with such a simple desire.
And the other characters feel like they have lived life. they filled so detailed and complete, not like Stock character, and animation helps so much they bring so much of their personality though movement and facial expressions.
The plot is not an elegant affair but it is fun. hallucinations and psychic stuff have never looked this good.
It is a classic for a reason. would recommend.
