| It's ranked the 78th best anime movie, Gintama's second movie (favourite movie of all time) is ranked the 1st. |
 |
| I don't know if it's THE best, but it's my favorite anime movie and I consider it at least one of the best. |

| Pretty average movie, don't get what all the hype was about. lol |
 |
| Ghost in the Shell neg diffs. |
 |
| No. Not at all. Not even close. Sorry OP. But no. Simply no. |
| Yes best anime ever without hesitation and who dare compare this anime to Naruto deserve to be hung by his balls ( Naruto = Shonen Akira = Seinen.) . Best Manga EVER MADE and better to read than to watch so imagine how powerful is this Manga. Katsuhiro Otomo is just a genius. I just watched it ( again X) ) and still now nobody did better. Sorry kids and Naruto's fanboys but this time old school win. |

| Nope, the first half an hour was some really good cyberpunk, and yes the animation is great (but topped by the original GitS movie imo) but the story is a fucking mess. |
| Ghost in the Shell was released 7 years after Akira u can't compare the animation. Technics was very different. It's just a non-sense to compare them. And the budget was very different too. I agree GitS animation was just awesome and the opening fabulous. But Akira ost is better. ziggy_Z said: The 6th highest rated anime disagrees, as well as this thread. Who voted? Kids and teens... Elders know the truth and don't waste their time to vote. X) |

Mikysama said: Ghost in the Shell was released 7 years after Akira u can't compare the animation. Well when the thread is about something as broad as "the best anime movie ever made", it does make sense to compare it with every other anime movie, to figure out which one is the best. |
| hell naw, its a good movie but only decent...not the best |
| Not a movie, but I honestly enjoyed Glasslip more than Akira. Somehow Akira was based on a highly acclaimed manga and yet fails to have a comprehensible story. They characters all look the same, even the females, so it's hard to even know what character is even on screen without someone using their name. Tsumiki no Ie, Eve no Jikan, Wolf Children, Madang-Eul Naon Amtalg, Hal, Nasu: Andalusia no Natsu, Chirin no Suzu, and Flanders no Inu are much better anime movies. |
  |
| Awesome movie, but not the best. There are a few that are better. But the EVA rebuild movies clearly not. |

| AKira is one of the best animated movie of all time and this not my opinion it's the opinion of critics who watched tones of movies (whether animated or live action) |
 |
| It's neither good nor bad. |
  |
| It is the only anime film I see listed in my current Top 10 film list. I think it's definitely the best animated film I've seen. I had the pleasure to see it in the theater last year in Japanese, and I was even further convinced of its majesty. Apart from the engrossing, complex plot, the film itself is just a pleasure to look at. The amount of detail is overwhelming. I'd also like to point out this great YT vlog on the deconstructing the amount of detail in one particular scene -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BBAJdtPVnZc I'll be sad if Otomo never releases a feature length animated film again. |
ConstantDenial said: Redline topped the art and animation m8 but yeah, Akira is one of the best, can't deny that. Redline is on my watchlist, but based on what I've seen in the trailer I can appreciate what you're saying. But at the same time bro, gotta look at Akira in context. For being made in 1988, it still holds amazingly well. It's like an exhibit of a dying/dead method of producing animation. |
| Visually impressive, but the pacing/characters are medicore.Its manga counterpart is good tho. |
ConstantDenial said: garland23 said: i think you misinterpreted the word 'topped'. it would be embarrassing in the anime industry to say that something from 20 years ago still holds the top. same, but different example would be video game graphics from 20 years ago and now. don't get me wrong, i appreciate 80s-90s OVAs and moviesRedline is on my watchlist, but based on what I've seen in the trailer I can appreciate what you're saying. But at the same time bro, gotta look at Akira in context. For being made in 1988, it still holds amazingly well. It's like an exhibit of a dying/dead method of producing animation. You've slightly increased the Redline hype level for me. |
| It's my personal favorite, that's for sure, especially the original dub with Cam Clarke as Kaneda. |
| Now you're king of the mountain, aren't ya but it's all garbage! |
| If Kanye West says that its the best anime movie of all time, well it is ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ |
STOP SLEEPING ON ODD TAXI |
| the animation was good, but story-wise it's unbelievably bad. in fact, the ending was so bad, that it just left me staring at the credits for a couple of seconds just to realize that it's over. it's really hard to find a shittier ending than that |
 |
| Naah,it's great but not the best. Perfect Blue, 5 Centimeter Per Second,Toki wa Kakeru Shoujo,Kimi no Na Wa, Princess Mononoke,GiTS and Kaguya Hime are better. If you like lots of actions,destruction and explosion then it's great but the story is not that great. |

Taste in anime does not make you a better person. Totally agree! |
| I'd rate it 5/10, wasn't a fan at all. |
| On a purely aesthetic level, it's certainly a contender. |
Take care of yourself |
| Not the best, but it was certainly a game changer. I first saw Akira back in the mid-90s, and it was phenomenal. I always wanted to be Kaneda. After seeing it, I used to ride down the street on my red bicycle, with a lead pipe in my hand, trying to re-enact scenes from the movie. I even printed out pictures of the stickers that Kaneda had on his bike, and taped them all over my bicycle. Ironically, I would generally never watch an Anime as violent as Akira nowadays, but that film still holds a place in my heart, and I have fond memories of it. I rented the tape from the video store many times, and I also own it on laserdisc. |

stingzy said: Aside from the BEAUTIFULL fluid animation and art than hasnt been topped even today. [/b] Yeah no.. I mean I'm sure it was great back in the day, but for today' standard the animation is.. well below today' standard for good animation (e.g. KNY). And the art style is of course subjective but IMO it is very very outdated and unpleasant to look at. |
I don't know how signatures work   |
