I watched it, the art style was great. The music was great, it was an alright movie. It just felt a little too slow though.

I still can't believe I haven't seen this yet. Most of my friends recommended it.
if you like this film watch ghost in the shell 2 innocence.
[QUOTE=Talkbox;23314491]if you like this film watch ghost in the shell 2 innocence.[/QUOTE] I have been meaning to watch Ghost in the Shell (among many other well-recieved animes) for years now. I think it's the cinematic animes that I like and not many anime TV series.
i love akira. its like anime on steroids
The ending was crazy as hell. Still loved the movie though.

Its basicly a condensed version of the first one, but in order to understand any of it you have to watch the first one.
Oh hey I remember this thread. [editline]05:10PM[/editline] [QUOTE=Talkbox;23314491]if you like this film watch ghost in the shell 2 innocence.[/QUOTE] Haha, no. Innocence is so fucking slow and filled with so much philosophical babble that people who enjoyed Akira would be BORED with Innocence. That's not to say Innocence was bad though, I enjoyed it.
Some of the music in this movie was pretty weird, yet fitting. Also one of the best movies i have seen, left me with a 'wtf' feeling that didnt leave for a while.

Great movie. Wild soundtrack.
I always felt bad about [sp]Tetsuo's girlfriend being brutality crushed to death[/sp]
[QUOTE=Priori;23324588]I always felt bad about [sp]Tetsuo's girlfriend being brutality crushed to death[/sp][/QUOTE] I sort of found that funny in a macabre sort of way. [sp]She has about 2 or so appearances and then she gets crushed. It's like she had no purpose except to be grotesquely killed near the end.[/sp]
oh i watched this movie just didn't know the name of it.

saw this in another thread [img]http://www.threewordphrase.com/embarrassing.jpg[/img]
Guys what's your favourite: The subtitled version or the dubbed version? I have only seen the subtitled version.
I rented this when I saw it at blockbuster..back when I was in grade 4. It scared the shit out of me when the guy had his guts all over his hands or whatever. I didn't even finish watching the movie, I think I turned it off there. I went back and got Tekken the movie, which I enjoyed 100 times more then Akira. ...I think I need to try it again.
Just watched the English dubbed version. I like it more than the subtitled version.
Great film, I don't watch anime or manga at all really, but I loved this.
