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 animation still largely holds up, but the story was way too confusing for me to follow & the characters felt underdeveloped. I can appreciate the impact it's had over the years, but can't really say I'd see it twice.

The movie doesn't introduce its own theme well. It took me about 20 mins to realize that it's a dystopian utopia. The main characters are unrealistic. Most of the kids are way too responsible for their age. The protagonist's relationship with his girlfriend is the coldest love affair I have ever seen and for some reason they still get along. The plot doesn't try to be realistic either, instead it tries to convey its message through metaphores, but the symbolic system didn't work for me either.

perhaps the only way to provide a complete picture of contemporary japan is through violent sensory bombardment, vomiting up its horrors and obsessions in a deluge of guts, neon and twisted metal.

The overall presentation of this film in terms of animation and sound is still great, and even more impressive considering that it is 30 years old now. However, despite the intriguing worldbuilding, the story and characters mostly fell flat, and the film's pacing was all over the place.
