I watched Akira this past weekend and wow what a film. Long hailed as one of the greatest science fiction anime ever, I've really wanted to watch it for years now, and just recently got around too it. I will say, the film didn't live up to all the hype I've heard, but I've been hearing about this film for years so it could really never live up to such hype. The characters are simple yet refreshing, and written in a timeless fashion. I look forward to breaking it down in a video essay format. The dialogue felt a little silly and straightforward at times. The cinematography told the story through various incredibly unique perspectives. I liked how much of Tetsuo/Akira's powers are explained, it leaves a lot to the imagination and audiences intelligence.
