2 part OVA

God tier animation
Good storytelling and pacing
Well developed characters

The horror elements are chilling and exeptionally well animated, story also has a heartwarming side to it which gets you to connect to the characters

Horrible animation and character design
Pacing and script are garbage

They turned Akira into a literal "crybaby", the series has been stripped of all of it's emotion
First half can be put in the "so bad it's good" category, has a Scary Movie vibe
Second half is absolute shit

Better structured plot
Well developed characters

Not much to say, personal favorite, grew up watching this :3

Plot starts to fall apart about half way
Big scenes that should've had something special about them don't have much impact

Nostalgia bait :'3

Has the distinct style of it's time
Dog tags along for the adventure
Few inconsistencies

Main plot is the same
Different take on the story
Changes up the order of some events
Much better pacing

Very wholesome but very dark at the same time, surprisingly good combo 👍

Dropped this
Found the pace too slow
Takes the melodrama too far

Much better pacing and character developement

Definitely does a much better job bringing the story to life than the OG series, the soapy melodrama at the beginning doesn't feel overused

Though aesthetically i do slightly prefere the older artstyle, the new one works perfectly with the tone of the show

Came out before manga complete
Different take on the story

Still very good imo

Faithful manga adaptation

One of the few remakes that's just as good if not better than original

Came out before manga complete
Different take on the story
Lead writer is Chiaki Konaka (Serial Experiments Lain)

Personally his style is not my cup of tea
But if you're a fan of his works then def give this version a shot

Unexpectedly comical
Much faster pace
But also seems to spend less time getting to know the characters

Gore scenes incredibly well done
But i found the story to be too repetitive and predictable, it relies a lot on shock factor

Darker tone
Bigger focus on character developement and psyche
Better developement of side characters

More lighthearted
OST gives a more comedic vibe
Still does a pretty good job of keeping things darker on more serious arcs but with a more dramatic tone to it
Almost souly focuses on the main 4
Has some pacing issues

Not a terrible adaptation, but still personally prefere HxH 1999

Story had lots of potential
But wasn't explored in enough depth

Will comment more on it after i watch the re-make

Good concept, nice sci-fi vibe and aesthetic
But script and pacing are terrible

Nicely shows ancient roman culture

Will comment more on it after i watch the original

Typical 2000s shoujo vibe

currently watching

Spectacular animation
But has no substence

It's complete reliance on shock factor makes the supposidely emotional ending fall flat as a pancake

Has a bit more semblance of a plot and character developement
But still not great

CLAMP seems to be very much style over substence

Absolutely appalling, there is no semblance whatsoever of any plot
This series can only be described as a random collection of panty shots

Hopefully the original is better
