I’m well-known as not really being an anime fan (surprise!), because anything that inspires grown men to dress like anthropomorphic cats, rub blue Kool-Aid in their hair, and carry six-foot polystyrene buster swords while arguing vehemently with other cosplayers that Goku could TOTALLY kick Sephiroth’s ass…well, it’s evil and it must be destroyed. Like Enterprise.
That’s a bold claim for any movie. I know some guys who’d probably shoot you for talk like that. I’m not one of those people; I’m well-adjusted. But if you try to sell me the idea that Deckard was a replicant, I’ll strangle you with your own small intestines.
Akira is based on the hit manga, which is Japanese for “twenty dollars a book.” ‘Akira’ is a Japanese word that means “most honorable phone-book-sized manga you can easily bludgeon gaijin to death with.” And ‘gaijin’ means “snarky American movie critic.”
I’ll give credit where it’s due. If you’re watching a cartoon, it either has bad animation, good animation, or it’s Akira.
