    +tobi tob Yeah but I'm not anime connoisseur by any means and I personally find it off putting when people insist on acting that way. Enjoy it the way you prefer as other will the way they prefer. All three dubs exist for their own reasons

    Captain
    +Ragitsu It's a scary thought... we certainly won't from an American company...It's down to Japans incredibly talented animation studios and possibly some big American investment that will get another flick like this made... Steamboy is a fairly new animation, created by the guy behind Akira, so if you haven't seen that i'd strongly suggest it!

    Ghost in the Shell (which is very famous) surpasses the detailed backgrounds on display in Akira and there are others which surpass this in terms of animation too. But for 1986 this was a movie made purely to showcase Japanese talent and not made to re-coup on its budget.. Still hasn't been surpassed in ambition and soul.

    It's an anime movie based on a 2000 page plus manga series. It's about a biker gang in Neo-Tokyo, a Tokyo devastated by a large explosion that caused world war three, but was rebuilt. In this world the government is struggling to take control as terrorist organizations that worship a fabled psychic boy called Akira come closer and closer to finding the governments connection to him.

    Hey, not to draw attention off of the awesome bike scenes, and I understand the movie is old and from a lesser generation for anime translations, but the lack of effort put in by the voice actors really struck me, and it hasn't gotten much better across anime dubs over the years either. It really depresses me. Across the board the most popular actors, often in roles as main characters, put in this two-dimensional, plasticky performance, either robotic and monotone or carrying this forcedly exaggerated cartoony twang. Why are dubs in general this way?. I suppose paychecks are a thing, but really, why is there NO ONE interested in putting some believability into his character for the sake of his character?

    +djjdchampion1 Yeah, that's what I wound up doing. The manga still blows the movie out of the water either way even though I haven't finished it. :P

    +TheKnightguard1 Watch the original dubs, english voices just don't work imo. I do agree though, inccredible emoton on their faces but not from the voices :/

    +Brandon Martin Same here. I don't get why some people think the streamline dub was better, the lies and acting are terrible back then this is way better.

    애니메이션은 일본이 만든 문화입니다. 왜 반일의 한국인이 보는 것입니까? 또 일본의 아이디어를 표절할 생각입니까? 당신들한국인에게는 오리지널을 만드는 독창력은 없습니까?

    Over 25 years later, and most anime today still doesn't look this good 🙅🏼🙅🏼 There are exceptions, of course, but most are so rushed lol
