has anyone here witnessed the great 'AKIRA'? It's one of the greatest films ever.Fans of films like Donnie Darko will love it.You'll still be trying to make sense of it when your really old...unless you are really old...in which case you should have watched it when you were really young...but it wouldn't have been out then...hmmm...ok I'm done.

Akira and Darko...seen both and they just mess with the mind...too abstract

Katsuhiro Ôtomo's AKIRA is by far the best Japanese hentai anime out there. other noteworthy anime would be Ghost in the Shell, Vampire Hunter D

I've only seen a few anime films but I love them!I seen Legend of the overfiend (I think that's what it's called) and it blew my mind,I also seen Perfect Blue it was also amazing-the music in that film really creates a pretty daunting atmosphere...it's best watched when you're stoned though :)
My favourite bit in AKIRA is when Tetsuo's powers get out of control and he starts turning into the huge blob and envelopes everything,man that's cool.
which reminds me,I gotta download the cool music during the motorbike scene-seeya!

OK
AKIRA isn't hentai, it's just first-class anime from a non self-conscious & brilliant writer/director named Katsuhiro Ôtomo. :)
yo!
BTW The main characters Kaneda and Tatsui will be whirling in my head 4ever. ;)

i have downloaded the original Japanese soundtrack.
the cool music during the motorbike scene is the 1st track and is called 'Kaneda', if that helps, nameless ;)

whats hentai?

The english voice acting in the newer version of akira really made the film. The best scene in the film comes from this, after tetsuo has stolen kaneda's bike and starts crying, just before he gets the headache.

Hentai is anime porn I think. Akira is just anime. And Akira is great, not as good as Vampire Hunter D.

If thats what hentai is then hentai has given all anime a bad name. All i see nowadays in comic book stores is anime porn films. its shite.

Akira.......simply the most trippy anime i've ever seen.........best seen on mushrooms

>>By Machine_of_Undertow (Wednesday, 15 Dec 2004 20:02)

An.......... interesting anime.
I enjoyed it, though I didnt quite grasp the ending.

Those above comparing Donnie Darko to Akira~ I don't see the similarities... I did however understand the ending to Donnie Darko...

akira is one of the greatest works in movie history so far (in my humble opinion) but the comics (it counts about 3000 pages) ist much better. the movie is to short to hold the whole thing.

you should get into other works of otomo. like memories & domu. i have tatooed akira on my back :D

But the film is too long as a film I think

>>By Flagg (Wednesday, 18 May 2005 00:09)

Such an amazing movie, particularly the motorbike chase at the beginning, and the lights of the skyscrapers, waaaaaa

Its about the little people being oppressed even though they hold the power and fighting back it really is about symobolism.
