Akira is known to be a masterpiece that changed anime as it is today, and where I can agree that it definitely did change anime I just can't see why. Akira has an interesting plot but the execution is done poorly in my opinion. Now for those of you that are mad that I'm bashing on Akira calm down, I enjoyed the movie and saw why it is popular, I just didn't see why it was so popular. The movie has some parts I really liked about it, the main character Kaneda, the battle between Tetsuo and Kaneda, the fluid animation, the ending, etc. The animation was fantastic but, seeing every character have the same face really destroyed the credibility of the animation in my eyes. The sound was nice and the editing was great, but when it comes to a soundtrack there wasn't really anything that stood out to me. When it comes to the story it was good, but not great, I found myself being lost in the movies confusing pacing. But by the last hour of the movie I figured everything out and was sincerely enjoying it. I loved the ending I think it ended perfectly and I think the ending alone pushed the movie up to a 7 for me. In conclusion Akira is good movie, but that's all I got from it, I didn't see why it should be in talks for greatest anime movie and I didn't see why it was so influential
