  A really good action -packed movie but I wouldnt reccomend it to filmclub as it is a little confusing and gory for children 11-14

  I'm too much of a fan of japanese anime. I wanted to see it because it was in a book that I bought a while ago called "1001 Movies you should see before you die". So I rented this film at blockbuster, sat down, watched it and when the film was over I was stunned.
  
  It one of best animated movies I have ever seen in my life and one of the best movies ever made.
  
  There's a lot of blood, gore and organs but it is apporpriate for my age. The animation is fantastic, the story is jambacked and the characters are memorble.
  
  For a film that came out in the late 1980's, I'm glad to say it still holds pretty well today.

  Akira (or AKIRA, I suppose) is quite simply, the definitve anime, at least for us living in the West. The most recent dub gives us the best audio so far, better than the original Japanese and the first English dub.
  
  Animation has moved on greatly since Akira was first released, but the film still looks excellent - each frame is drawn by hand, from every single crowd member to the SOL satellite. It's consistently amazing how much care and effort went into this film, especially now, when milking the giant cash cow seems more important than quality.
  
  Jonny Young Bosch (Code Geass) puts in a decent performance as Kaneda,(or, as Tetsuo pronounces his name, KAAAANNEEDAAA!) the anti-hero leader of a biker gang thrust into the centre of a conspiracy regarding an autistic child - No.28, or Akira. It is Tetsuo, however, who provides the main focus of the film, developing from a jealous hoodlum to a cackling, insane mess, and has become rather iconic.
  
  The best scene in the film, the violent biker rampage through the streets of Neo-Tokyo, is very likely the greatest animated scene of all time.
