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.

A very fine science fiction film on its own, but truly stunning animation work elevates it to another level. Too bad the storytelling gets in the way.

The most awe-inspiring and impactful film I ever saw. It has it all, from stunning animation, to great plot, to an extremely immersive soundtrack by Geinoh Yamashirogumi. Every scene screams emotion. From the beginning till the end you will be captivated by the story. Escalation would be an understatement. In my eyes only one film can wear the crown of best film ever made and it is this one.
