Akira (1988)

Kaneda is a bike gang leader whose close friend Tetsuo gets involved in a government secret project known as Akira. On his way to save Tetsuo, Kaneda runs into a group of anti-government activists, greedy politicians, irresponsible scientists and a powerful military leader. The confrontation sparks off Tetsuo's supernatural power leading to bloody death, a coup attempt and the final battle in Tokyo Olympiad where Akira's secrets were buried 30 years ago. (imdb)

akira the manga is great, but this is a poor adaption. it really is just the idea, the start and then the end. a lot of the best things are left out or just not adapted well. tetsuo is about the only character who doesn't suffer from that but even thats a large part in due to sasaki. the opening 15 minutes are still gonna be the coolest thing ever, and the direction and animation omg, but the commentary on youth, drug use, mental health, authortism etc is all gone and the story suffers heavily.

It's a hell of a trip to rewatch this as an adult. It's far deeper than just a stylish, futuristic and cool anime, that my child-self had stored away. The animation is obviously fantastic but the story itself somehow feels way ahead of its time and also still relevant for the now.

Watching it three decades later it's naturally pretty dated. But its greatness still shows, and it's not difficult to remember the experience of seeing it for the first time back when I was young.

Gorgeous animation, exquisite music, and some truly fantastic, arresting visuals. Story-wise.....it’s alright??? Definitely feels like a cliff notes version of a larger story at times and the character development isn’t much. But it’s a freaking masterpiece of craft.
