I just watched Akira. After it was over, I said four words. "I AM BUYING THIS!!!!!!" This is quite possibily my favorite MOVIE of all time. I am amazed, and my respect for anime shot through the roof. I will post more tomorrow. By the way, I watched the English dub, since it was in Dolby 5.1, and I diddn't really feel like reading the subtitles Now to decide which version to buy!! I am honestly thinking about the DTS version, since I am a major Home Theater freak. Now THIS is real Anime!!! Very Happy

Yay! Somebody else loves Akira!

Now listen, er, Tondog. There are lots of evil, evil people in this world who will try to convince you that Akira sucks. They hate Akira because they think it will make them seem edgier and more intelligent than the people that like Akira. Do not listen to them. In fact, ignore them.

If they still persist on picking on Akira, blow on your safety whistle. The authorities will arrive shortly thereafter.

Akira the anime is okay/good, but the Manga is worth picking up.

I would recommend picking up the new DVDs like Luputa, Kiki's, and Spirited Away. If you are an action fiend, than Ghost in the Shell, Ninja Scroll, Both Vampire Hunter Ds, and Blood the last vampire. Just to get you started.
