i always feel like i'm outta the fanboy loop everytime i hear somebody go all nuts about akira. there's no doubt that this is a visually stunning looking film but storywise i never got it. maybe i need to watch it again.
but what i mostly remember is the annoying ending of the the two main characters seemingly doing nothing but screaming each other's name for the last half hour of the film...
i prob have to watch it again. i remember that "i was under the influence" when i first saw it. maybe one has to be coherent to fully enjoy it. but i'm prob wrong about that too.
This film is amazing! It's what got me into anime, it's a classic!
