Review of Akira

Ok this review might contain spoilers but to be honest there is no crazy plot twist to spoil. I had some really high expectations but expect the animation none of it were met. This movie was extremely fast paced. I haven't read the manga but from what I hear the manga was apparently way different than the movie. It was not a good idea to fit all of it in just a 2 hours long movie. If in a move all you care about is animation then this is the greatest movie for you but I need more than a good animation to enjoy a movieand this one had none of it. And one more thing I wanna point out, the protagonist finds a gun like weapon and starts using it, how the heck can he use it that well with his first try while a group of professionals got instently killed. This is just ass pull at this point.

1. Story(5/10): It's shit that's all. So the the story takes place in 2019, after a world war 3 apparently and everything has gone to shit. Our protagonist is a member of a biker gang so not long after the movie begins they go and pick a fight with some clowns, enjoy this scene because that's the only scene you're gonna get which involves biker gangs. That's right the first thing we get is violence. And what do you think happens afterwords, it's violence. Yes the whole plot is violence, that's right the answer to everything is violence. People you have no attachment towards just keep dying one after another. That's it that's literally everything. In the second half of the movie one of our main character gains some psychic powers and starts fucking shit up, that's right even more violence. And I had no idea what the heck happened at the end, and obviously it's violence.

2. Art and animation(9/10): The animation is absolutely crazy it's time, this much I have to admit. That's the only reason I gave it 6/10, otherwise it would be more like 4/10. No complaints here.

3. Sounds (8/10): Once again good enough. The sound effects and music were really good as expected. But the voice acting wasn't anything special at all as it is with most old anime so no complaints here ether.

4. Character (5/10): And now for the characters, I had no attachment towards any of them. And they they had no value ether, even if all of them had died the outcome won't change. If the movie wasn't so fast paced then maybe they'd have some time for character development. So none of them were interesting.

5. Enjoyment (6/10): I was watching this movie half asleep, I did no care about anything that happened in it. How am I supposed to enjoy something that has only violence as plot. The only redeeming thing about the movie is the animation and sounds, that's it, that's the only reason I kept watching it.

6. Overall (6/10): It's not a good movie. Giving it even 6 is being generous. I have no idea why people keep praising this garbage.
