You are the only one here that thinks that....the soundtrack was not good and made the action scenes dull and boring
| @peterross No. The sound track is the best soundtrack of all time. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |

hardly. for half of the action scenes THERE WAS NO SOUNDTRACK! i was shocked that they left most of the big scenes with no music at all. Perfect Blue is a movie with one of the greatest soundtracks of all time, not Akira
| @peterross Nah. Akira is the most influential anime film of all time |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Came here just to see if anyone else felt the same way. That kinda sucked lol I just finished watching it and I'm not really sure I got any of that. The whole plot just feels like a mess. And while yes the animation can be good at times, I didn't really like it most of the time. Idk it just feels a bit overhyped. Like I was expecting a more, but it was a bit of a disappointment. Like yeah I get that it came out in the 80s when there really wasn't anything like this, but that doesn't really make me appreciate it more. I just didn't like this movie :( |

it's a snorefest...and you have no comeback to me saying "where was the music for half the movie?" that's what made Akira an 8 and Perfect Blue a 10. Akiras scenes didn't hit coz they didn't have music!
| @peterross An 8 feels generous imo, I really didn't like this movie but yeah I agree with you on the music |
|
| Nah. Im sure there is some other Teenager, out there, beeing all like "Whats so special about this? So overrated. aM i tHe oNLy oNE?". We get it. You're different^^ Seriously, you saying "It didn't interest me", is as far as it goes. That's pretty much what you got. Doesn't mean that it's a bad movie, tho. |

| This anime only got good in the last fifteen minutes, I don't think this anime is good, but I respect it for being innovative for its time. |

The plot is really messy and there is no emotional connection to the characters at all. It just didn't interest me and all the violence and explosions for nothing just bored me. Why is this movie considered a masterpiece?

It was a technical marvel back in its time.
It's kind of similar to Avatar (2009) where the 3D experience made the movie really shine. There was nothing ground-breaking in Avatar otherwise.
| @KreatorX Couldn't have explained it any better, Im sure you just had to have BEEN there while this was released to understand its full appeal |
remember the lesson, not the disappointment. |

It's understandable why one could view it as bad. Lots to criticize. The plot itself and the characters arguably aren't special by modern standards. But if you're capable of watching it through the lens of someone back then, it's amazing especially the animation -- which feels ahead of the current time despite being animated in the 1980s.
| @Acesonnall Animation doesn't equal to design or art style. Akira's animation was subpar for the majority of the movie. Characters moved either way too abruptly or awkwardly. |

| @JoeChip Well, I won't know whether I'll like it or dislike it unless I watch it, genius. I don't know why you're even on the post that expresses an opinion you disagree with IN THE TITLE, if you can't handle opposing opinions. |

| @SnipersKgrooWife There is a difference between having a differing opinion and being just plain wrong about a fact, so don't be sour if someone points that out. Watch this video and maybe you might get an idea about why you are wrong in your observation about the animation in Akira. |

| No. I find it technically good, not amazing tow atch but very good, especially due to highlights. The atmosphere of the city too, a special thing it evokes, bcs aside from that the plot is indeed really weak and a slog, even the action itself was not as thrilling as it is hyped up to be. Best thing about it were indeed the slowed music edits with the visuals of the movie on youtube. It has a nice aesthetic but that is it. The ghost in the shell og movie was nothing amazing either, but the visuals there and atmosphere, vibes were pleasant enough to make it even the plot there work better in being good compared to akira |
