Akira

I just watched Akira again for the first time in a long time. It is amazing how well this movie stands up next to its modern day counterparts. Katsuhiro Otomo really knew what he was doing when he set the tone for modern anime. I love this movie and always will. The animation is clean and detailed. How do you guys feel this movie holds up today? now 18 almost 19 years later

Akira is in my opinon a landmark anime title. It was one of the first anime to use computer graphics, and set the bar higher for what was availible for that time.

Akira is still visually just as good as todays animes!It doesn't look dated aswell.Some animes with mixed CGI don't do it as well as Akira and it easily stands the test of time.Top Anime!

I love all the works of Otomo Katsuhiro; he's great director/artist... And yes, Akira is just phenomenal. I haven't seen the movie, but I still have those huge six volumes - spent thousands of yen on those. I still read them, every now and then.

Check out Suchimuboi [Steamboy], it's brilliantly directed, I think.
