Also while looking for akira in five seconds youtube pointed me to Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya full english dub. I'm not even signed on as I'm posting from the Wii U but I'm sure the youtube page is now reading my mind as I'm going to watch the DVD in the next few weeks.
 
I'm surprised in 25 years no ones attempted to make a Akira 2 or reboot OVA to cover the whole story, I guess the film is just a classic no one wants to touch

which is a real shame. i'm honestly surprised the creator himself never tried.

(by the way the guy who made this movie is working on Space Dandy in some capacity)
 
Its kinda like Citizen Kane, you may not like it but its worth the watch considering how influential it is.

Except Citizen Kane is a great fucking film that masterfully tells its story, even ignoring all the innovative things it did.

Akira decidedly is not that. Overall it's pretty poor at actually telling its story. But it is full of extremely memorable and innovative moments, and it's still something of a marvel to look at even 25 years later.
 
AKIRA is like Citizen Kane in that it was revolutionary in its visuals and pushed the medium forward. That much is at least true.
