You have seen this film before. Probably several times. This time they just put Asians, but... Yup... It's the same film.

Pure formula. Pretending to be something that is not. One of this plain and clear examples that Hollywood is hollow and empty as it can be. This film is just poison for the brain. Better do drugs.

This film could have become a classic. Sadly, the music of this film aged so badly It makes it almost unwachable. I mean, probably the music was already crap in 1996 (It is the worst midi you can find, I swear to you).

Curiosity: The Cinematographer Christopher Doyle plays a role as a drunken English teacher in the film.

A masterpiece of the animation and the cyberpunk. Period.
Akira drew how we have been imagining the future the last 30 years, and the best part it sill feels fresh and vibrant.
