Akira

[dragonlover5]

I saw the movie, and it went way beyond anything anime I have ever seen before. I was surprised that the violence looked a little more realistic most because I'm use to seeing Miyzaki films. It was a really interesting film once you get past why it is rated R on the first place. It blew me away of the idea of energy they used for the movie. Its based of a manga that I now want to read.

I found it too dark and depressing. The ending seemed to really drag. Kept thinking "die already". Definitely not a movie to be watched with "edited for tv" I liked Paprika much better.

I liked that movie, it was really interesting. But did anyone else think all the teenage boys in the gang looked the same? I remember one of them died, all I could do was laugh because I had no idea which one he was. Also the women looked like men.

I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't seen it. But personally I prefer all of Kon's movies to Akira.

yeah I got confused as to who was who but i rewatched the begining because the first time i watched it my brother was with me and i had to turn it off. but watching it a second time makes it easier to remember the characters better.

The movie was really great in taking a complex story and compressing it into one film. The visuals are some of the best I've ever seen in hand drawn animation. The first time a watched it I was a bit confused on how Tetsuo goes crazy so fast, the the plot seemed too much too quick.

I later found that the manga series was 6 books, at least 300 pages each. The manga has a completely different story- you learn more about the anti-drug theme, akira's alive, and neo-tokyo's destruction is only the half-way marker.

I highly recommend reading it biggrin

not really- it's popular. You'll likely find it at Barnes and Noble or another bookstore, so you can read it there too.

I personally liked it a lot, though I was in bed on medication when I watched it so I don't think I remembered certain parts correctly.

The children were my favorite.

[F O X D I E Complete]

I personally loved Akira, just the energy, the reverence it seemed larger than life. Sure, now it seems a bit trite and so on, but I think of it as a classic.

Currently on Volume 3. Love it so far.
