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”.

Totally with you on this.

I was desperate to watch it as it immediately gained a good reputation. But when I finally got the video, sat down and watched I was bored by it.

Can remember my disappointment to this day!
