Akira Ratings & Reviews
- KennyBarroz14 maj 2025Legendary masterpiece. One of the best anime sci-fi movies of all time
- soylentmatt−1 dThis movie is gorgeous and is dripping with style, and clearly earns its status as one of the most important movies ever made. It's also dark and sort of oppressively melancholy. Obviously you should know that going in, but the movie opens with an violent fight between biker gangs in a cyberpunk cityscape that is SO phenomenal it is impossible not to feel some degree of joy watching it, but then the rest of the movie... As gorgeously animated as it may be... Labors as hard as it can to crush the joy out of you. The movie isn't paced with the sort of rising tension / heroes journey / whatever that I think most audiences expect. Instead it's kind of holding your head down underwater while watching the light blink out of your eyes like Shamu drowning his trainer by her ponytail. If that's what your into .. or, you know, you're interested in watching one of the greatest feats of filmmaking ever performed... Then this is for you.
- Movie_Nerd16 februari 2025Watch it and see for yourself, needn’t I say more
- gooserex8 januari 2025God status level anime.
- filip.bl9 augusti 2025As good as the first time I saw it.
- scoobydon't−4 dParadigm shifter that still holds up nearly 4 decades later.
- avilesj0−5 dSuch an amazing story!!!
- jkljlk11975 mars 2026"The future is not a straight line. It is filled with many crossroads. There must be a future that we can choose for ourselves."
- Dominique Cote5 december 2025Truly a masterpiece! Perfect capturing of movement and volume!
- tellum4 december 2025If you are going to watch only one anime, this is it. The animation is shockingly good almost 40 years later. The influence on countless anime, movies, and video games is very clear.
- Pepe Cheerios21 november 2025The facts it's all hand drawn. Omg 💦💦
- Cappy June7 november 2025Classic anime film that leaves you scratching your head. High replay value too.
- Peter Bickford17 augusti 2025Groundbreaking Anime and hugely influential for sure. Definitely worth a close watch or two. That said, this American for one, would argue that it would be much improved by trimming about 30 minutes from the theatrical cut. Heck, were it possible, put together a 3.5 hour version for manga/anime completists; the current cut suffers pacing-wise from half-movie and half manga series.
- dascomputers138 augusti 2025It's a masterpiece. Cyberpunk 100%. Requires a second watch within 5 days to really set in all the hidden keys. Beautiful art.
- ShaveAss24 juli 2025While the storyline might be an old trope and the ending a little confusing for modern day viewers; even just appreciating the cultural icon that is Akira with its beautifully hand drawn animation is enough to keep even new fans satiated. Call this watch “homework” for new anime fans
