Вот что бывает, когда сила и власть попадает к слабому человеку. Большая сила - большая ответственность! Акира - эталон анимации.

For some reason, I thought that watching Akira at night in the dark would not bring me any unnecessary injuries...

@Jane_Gerard: it is not recommended to watch a full-length anime without preparation.

@Gromimolnia: My mistake. I thought Hellsing had prepared me for everything...

The animation is off the head, very cool, but the plot is still for an amateur + it is too crumpled. I'll read the manga later, it's probably better to go in than the anime.

Akira is a classic who gave rise to the cyberpunk aesthetic, paving the way for other cult works like Ghost in the shell, Cyberpunk Edgerunners, and Cyberpunk 2077 games.
I remember how much I was impressed when watching Akira in the cinema (in 1990, I was only 12 years old at the time), it was radically different in aesthetics from everything that was then.

@Molumen: The aesthetics of cyberpunk were generated by the release of not only this anime, but also its original manga, Blade Runner, and Akira can only be conditionally attributed to the genre. Here, the future is more about parapsychology, something else. Although it is an absolute masterpiece).

Of course, it's cool for anime 88, it was nice to watch this cartoon in 4K. 👏🏼

I am glad that now you can watch anime classics on the big screen in 4k. It was a cool experience.
animation is my homage. It's just great for ‘88. It was my first time watching this anime (I hadn't read the manga before either) and now I understand why it's considered iconic.

It's a masterpiece. I was also lucky enough to watch it in 4k (this is kind of my 3rd viewing of this anime). the animation, camera angles and music are just a delight)

I enjoyed the soundtrack throughout the cartoon - what a cool live ambient, they don't do that anymore, the sounds have become flat and unoriginal. It's amazing that you can watch it in a cinema, with such good acoustics and in 4k!
We also noticed the style of the 80s, when personality and character were attractive - there is not a single character in anime that is "conventionally beautiful" by modern standards, this makes them so alive, so real. The fashion is terrible, but the case is when the main thing in a person is not tuning and packaging.
And the plot is frighteningly relevant - old grandfathers on pills in the government are doing shit because of which an entire state is killed every 30 years, nameless heroes die for it is unclear why and for what, crowds of protesters create only noise and do not change anything in fact, a couple of individual people understand the deep essence of what is happening, but still the war, all the same, ruin, something good awaits us for sure in the future, but not in ours, someday, one day, thousands of light years away.

How did it happen that I just discovered this anime? This is a masterpiece in every sense, from the drawing and soundtrack, to conveying the character of the characters and the atmosphere of what is happening!

Great animation for the era when it was released. At first, though, it's not clear what's going on at all
