hmmm, liiiidt overvurderet måske. men historisk vigtig som det første anime-hit i vesten. Man skal nok være ung og have hang til mutanter, stoffer og motorcykler og den slags for helt at komme op at køre over den. Jeg husker tegneserien som bedre.

...sanningen är att "Akira" för sin tid och även för våran fortsätter att vara ett fantastiskt stycke film. En som med sin relativt simpla handling men slående skönhet tangerar det tolkningsbart flummiga utan att tappa balansen.
