DVD Reviews of Akira

DVD Review: May this drivel be banished to Gehenna!
Summary: 1 Stars

I have not had the displeasure of viewing this offal for quite some time, a fact which pleases me greatly. It is difficult to express, via the written word or otherwise, the extent of my hatred for this putrid excrement. As per usual, the dubbing quality of this "movie" is atrocious, and actually featured at least one voice actor from the "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" US cartoon series (Kaneda was played by the voice of Leonardo). That being the case, I could not at all take the expressions of the main character seriously. I fully expected him to shout "Cowabunga" and express pizza cravings in every scene. As for the "Blade Runner-esque" stylization, I will only say that the animators should seek immediate help to combat their epilepsy. I receive more entertainment value from looking in the toilet after a movement than I did when I viewed "Akira." This is not to say that anime is anathema to me. I am actually very fond of the genre, and it pains me to see it tarnished by the existence of the profound exercise of animated ineptitude about which I currently write. Even more distressing to me is the sheer fanaticism that surrounds "Akira," which is obviously a steaming, tapeworm-infested, dog turd. All that being said, this would provide excellent entertainment for those of the populace with IQs less than 50 and, given the results of the last two presidential elections, there are surely plenty of potential customers.
