Best movie ever. The characters are so likable such as Tetsuo Shima, Kaneda Shotarou, Kei, Kai or Kaisuke, Yamagata, Kiyoko, Masaru, and Takashi. The story is interesting. The animation and visuals are looking really beautiful. And lastly, the manga franchise. The manga is awesome, but the problem that it didn't get the entirety from the manga. They regrettably missed the source material from the manga. The movie is still awesome that it became the landmark of anime in cinema history. This movie is an 80s masterpiece. Katsuhiro Otomo is the best creator of the Akira franchise with dark mature themes, awesome moments, and the ending.
