Akira

On any Top Anime Movie lists Akira is number one, and for a good reason because this movie has all the soul of anime in it. The graphics, though old, were great! The story was constantly going, great action, good characters. This movie is the classic anime that will last through the ages.

The basic plot is Tokyo, in the future, years after World War 111. Our main characters are a couple of teens in a street gang that is always fighting with other gangs. During one action packed night, when more stuff besides the gang fights is going on, one of the boys in our street gang almost runs over a little kid and gets injured. Then, without explanation, both the kid and the injured teen are taken away by the government. That is just the beginning of the film, it then continues to grow in action, suspense and into one hell of an adventure!

The film is actually based off of a manga but doesn't stick completely to the books story. Though many aren't complaining. There has also been rumors for a live action movie that would follow the manga instead of the anime, but we don't know if there's been any head way in that.

This is a must see anime for the fans who like action, gore, power and adventure. Akira is defiantly one of the best anime films for anime fanatics :)

BTW this trailer we found for it isn't that great but it still gives you a look at the film.
