Akira | 1988 Directed by Katsuhiro Otomo

Still visually impressive and ahead of its/our time as a movie. That's what Del Toro meant with 'Animation is a medium, not a genre: Animation is Cinema' Any modern studio with cutting edge tech would still doubt doing a sequel or remake of Akira.

An absolute masterpiece of animation, not just anime. ❤️ Wanted and still want Kanada's bike as well. 🤓

I remember the first time I saw this movie, I was with a friend and we smoked a lot of pot thinking it was about motorcycle racing or something. When I realized that it wasn't about any of that, I think it was one of the best cinematographic experiences I've ever had. i mean it.

We oooo and aaaa over the animation a whole lot, but can we talk about how the soundtrack just ties it all together in a neat little bow?

One of the greatest opening acts in film history

Masterpiece!

My Bible! Since i was 14 years old! Thank you so much master Otomo

A truly groundbreaking film in all categories.
