Akira

Visually, Akira is by far one of the best-animated movies of all time.

Damn true dude, damn true.

So very very true. Most anime in the 80's and early 90's was pretty crappy looking, but this movie is fantastic. People's eyes are even in proportion as opposed to the standard half-foot diameter eyeball.

I was reading some of the differences between the anime and manga though, and now i reeeeeally wanna read the manga, but i cant even find any websites with the entire series (talking online stores here, not sites that have naruto hosted).

Last night i finally had the chance to watch the old anime movie Akira. I've been wanting to see it forever but could never find it in stores or download it, but i finally got it. After watching it, i found it pretty friggin good and its restored my faith in anime a little. So how many of you guys have seen it, or read the manga?

Indeed, the whole of Akira is great, the movie and manga. I must of seen the anime 20 or so times since the beginning of the year. I even bought the special addition DVD just to get the better dub and extras. It ticks me off to find people critisizing the anime for its story, the original dub was pretty bad, but the new one is spot on. Or just watch the subtitled version which is good. Its a shame the anime cut alot of sections from the manga, but I guess it was hard enough to get the manga in a 2 hour film.

Your seriously missing out not reading the manga. I love the movie but much prefer the manga. You can download it off a torrent site. But I recommend you buy the actual books, which you can find on ebay.
