Not an anime guy. I appreciate that the animation was good. But I didn't get the story. I think it's about japan being nuked in ww2 but idk

Btw the theater was packed and it wasn't all virgin fat guys, there were normal women and men there in droves. Like younger people think anime is normal

Its extremely typical of japanese (anime) movies in that it explains nothing and assumes you know all this background shit from the manga.

Btw what was with the part where the huge bear attacks him & is scared by blood from his foot after he stepped on glass, that is never mentioned again.

Akira is amazing for the sheer quality of the animation alone. And the iconic pill jacket.

I've always found that the Japanese tend to be less obsessed with stories making perfect sense and you just need to roll with it. Better than western obsession with mystery box faggot shit.

Yeah the whole time I was thinking how they'll never hand draw a movie like that again. They'll do all this with computers and AI
