Before retailers were saturated with this popular import, there was Akira. It was years ahead of its time, atleast to american animation. The set design is very Bladerunner and definitely not a cartoon for kids. The art is good, in style and design. I would like to speak to the story, which is good, it is a story of best friends and brotherhood, with extraordinary circumstances pulling them apart. It is a story, however, that has been strip mined by a LOT of other people. It is definitely worth a watch, for nerd history sake and your own enjoyment.
A benchmark in nerd cinema.
Have you even seen this fucking movie? Or did you just see a picture of it on another site?
