Akira sucked. Those three old kids pissed me off. I swear, to me it looks like they have the troll face.

Akira:

Akira was the first anime to feature lip sync movement. Most anime will not have a character talking whilst their head is moving due to how difficult it is to sychronise their head movement with their mouth movement, it requires the artists to draw a lot more frames of animation which increases production time and cost. Since Akira was made in the 80's, at the time, it was revolutionary.

The Akira movie was based on a manga of the same name, which was and stil is one of the longest mangas in history, it was 2182 pages long and had an enormous story to it. The movie really doesn't do it justice in just 1 hour and 30 minutes.

Akira was one of the first anime movies to be shown on English speaking cinema, being shown on screens across America and other countries. It was a global box office success making millions and helped promote anime to countries across the world. Without Akira, we probably wouldn't have access to the anime material we do now, and shows like Naruto, Bleach and others would not be on our T.Vs.

So, fair enough you may not like Akira, everyone is different with their preferences, but one thing I would ask is that you at least appreciate it for what it is, one of the greatest animes of all time.
