Am I the only one in the world that doesn’t love the movie Akira?

With its violence and gore and dark psychological aspects, it helped pave the way for mainstream adult animation. And it had amazing visuals for the time, with iconic aspects that were replicated elsewhere. So like, it’s objectively important in the history of the medium. No doubt about that.

But in terms of watching it, I don’t find it subjectively engaging, nor do I find myself recommending it like “you gotta watch Akira”.

It was a technically great movie. OK story. Lot of constraints. Lot of problems too. Like books to movies, the manga's got more details.

Its not one of the first adult animated movies though. Just one with that level of detail.
