I watched this for the first time about a year ago and remembered really liking it. So I decided to show it to my brother and, to be honest, it wasn't quite as good as I remember it. Not all of the effects hold up and the human plot isn't super interesting. Still I think it's a really solid Kaiju movie. It's got a lot of neat fantasy elements and I still really like it as a whole. I'll have to rewatch the next 2 Gamera movies and see if they're as great as I remember.
Akira has always been oddly present in my life, even though this was my first time watching. My Dad saw it 3 times when it came out in the 80s and even bribed the movie theater guy to give him the poster for $50. All my older brothers had seen it. It almost seemed like a rite of passage of getting older. So finally watching it was amazing. It's a futuristic, high octane, blood-fest where there's more yelling than there…
