Here is what people are saying about the Akira (Geneon Signature Series)

"The Best Anime Movie Ever Made!"	2009-08-04
- Reviewed By User: A294UQY2B07SHD
For years,(ever seince I was born), i've heard alot of talk about a movie named Akira, and how it was one of the greatest movies ever created. However because of it's R rating, I never could watch it. Now old enough, I bought the Blu Ray version, and was blown away! The movie's animation is amazing!, featuring ground breaking high definition for an animated film. The plot itself is pretty good as well, with many likable characters. The action (even though very violent) was pretty good, and the movie keeps you at the edge of your seat until the very end. Again this film is R rated,because of Nudity, Strong Violence, Strong Language, and some gory scenes, so if you have kids, make sure they are nowhere near the television when this film is on, for it has images, and sequences that they might have heavy nightmares about....for a while. Even I was a little creeped out from some of those scenes. Overall, I gave this film a 5/5. If your looking for an epic,suspenceful,action packed movie,Then Akira is sure to please you. Just tuck the kids in before you watch it.

"The Ultimate Akira"	2009-07-13
- Reviewed By User: A14LZ65BV7LYIM
If you have seen Akira before, then don't hesitate in getting this, the ultimate Akria experience.. If you have not seen Akira then i highly recommend you do. The picture and sound are fantastic. The English Truehd track is pretty good, but i would recommend watching using the Japanese TrueHD with subtitles.. It seems my laserdisc and dvd versions will have to retired.

"Top ranking"	2009-07-12
- Reviewed By User: A1K3NQAO49LXL2
Probably the most beautiful anime I've ever seen. The drawing is superb, and the post-apocalyptic story is quite amazing. Having read the superbly illustrated comic book, I know how much of the story they've left out, but this one holds together quite well, until the ending at least. Akira himself barely appears in the film, although he's in the book quite a lot, ditto for the Joker, Chiyoko (who doesn't appear at all in the movie, although she's an awesome character) and Lady Miyako. Key characters in the story are Kaneda and Kei, who navigate the madness and anarchy of Tokyo in the year 2031, driving motorcycles, flying in mini-helicopters, shooting lasers and avoiding satellite-mounted death rays, while also seeking to avoid being smothered by the grotesque, out-of-control evolutions of Tetsuo.

"Manga is better"	2009-06-20
- Reviewed By User: A3G4ILBHL672XX
Unfortunately, I decided to read the manga before watching the movie. Although, the movie does get a lot of the main scenes and events right from the original manga, the story was completely butchered. Akira is a 5 book series spanning 1500 pages. There was absolutely no way to make it into a movie and keep it accurate. A lot of these reviewers complain about the voice-over acting being redone and I have to agree with them although I haven't heard the original. A lot of the time, the voice acting just doesn't set the tone for the insanity that's going on. You find yourself not caring much for the characters because of this.

"Great picture, lame English dub"	2009-05-08
- Reviewed By User: A2EZHVH9DAYLD3
Had a chance to look at this Blu-ray release of what is arguably the greatest Anime movie ever created. After the thoroughly disappointing Pioneer release on DVD, I was hoping somebody would have gotten a clue and included the original English audio track (as the Region 4 DVD release does). Alas, this version only provides the "new" English audio track -- the politically correct version made just for America. What's the point of having 50GB of room if you can't even include the original English track? I don't recommend this for anybody who really cares about the film. 5 stars for the improved picture, but minus 3 for the horrible "new" English audio track being the only option. Wanna produce dubs for repressed Americans? Then start making your own animated movies!
