See post number 3.

seen the movie not as great as everyone made it out to be, maybe i didn't get it. i watched it 2 times a year apart. still did't get why everyone loved it so much. MAYBE because what post 3 said, its animation is good. seemed alright to me, explosions and such, good story up until everytime the super powered kid came into the movie. and the freaky little children.

not one of those movies you'd watch over and over again.

Akira is considered a masterpiece by many. It has a great story, lots of morale and animation that was way ahead of its time in quality back then. The only one who could pull that off as well was Miyazaki (Ghibli).

And the font thing is annoying. Don't want to brag, but I'm doing this on my 32" LCD TV as a monitor... And that post was taking up my whole screen... So if either you or your friends aren't so near-sighted you'd be considered blind... Stop doing that...
