And I didn't think the story was that amazing either. I'm not saying it was a bad film or that it's not a classic; I just wasn't impressed by it in the 21st century.
That's funny, cos i have it the other way around.

I absolutely loved Akira, and i still do. The only bad thing about it is that every other Anime movie that i've seen later on has paled in comparison...
Nothing has made such an impact on me like Akira did.

TETSUOOOO!

KANEDAAAAA!

AAAAAAAAGH!

Millenium Actress is a great anime. No dub though.

Same here. Other movies come and go, but I never get tired of Akira. To me, the second half is the best part. The scene where Kaneda and Tetsuo relive their childhood friendship after having tried to kill each other is in my opinion one of the most powerful scenes in film history. I've seen it over and over and it never loses its impact. I guess it's a personal thing.
