Review of Akira

Looking at Akira objectively its nothing special. However, Any animator or aspiring animator must watch this. It's does a lot of things first and pioneers many aspects of modern animation. Aside from this you are getting a slightly above average story with very typical or rather archetypal characters, nothing wrong with that however if you are someone who hears how high regard this film is, and then proceeds to watch it them you might be the first to point that out. It is still definitely worth your time but don't expect a masterpiece. Thats the end of evangelion you are looking for. As a technical piece, its put simply,masterfully crafted.
