Akira is indeed, a great looking movie. I suggest reading the manga as it explores the plot a lot more than the movie. The movie was unfortunately condensed to fit somewhat accurately 2k+ pages of manga.
The political issues were not added after the movie, because the work is based on a manga but with many changes but the basis of the whole setting is intact, so the answer is a "yes" to your question about the policy if it is present in the exploration of the world building of the work; Like I am a fan of blade runner but I could see that the deepening of the themes of the creation of the human being and the transition to transhumanism was better deepened in the GITS movies .. Oshii in his filmography always tends to address politics and sober environment to try his characters who are always empty to experience with them a deep catharsis in their character arches, Gits does not seem a masterpis and frankly that title deserves Oshii's other film "Patlabor 2" where he explores in depth the themes of the modern war and fake peace
GITS > Blade runner2049 > Blade runner the final cut
The main problem of your review is that you assume a lot and do not analyze in depth because of the hatred that you have with the movie; The political themes of the work are complemented by a long history of socio-political Lore and wars to get to the point where they are, check it on wikipedia there they explain it easily; With regard to what they say a lot and at the same time nothing? We saw the same movie? All dialogues between the Major and Batou overthrow camaraderie and if you bother the scene of the boat is because the best is a robot is justified much of his speech; But in truth what bothered me was the "There is no development of characters" the film focuses only on the arch of the Major crossing the line of transhumanism with the puppet master understanding the point of the creation of the human being to merge to create another be, a deep character arc
