I have DVD and VHS copies. AMAZING movie…way more than meets the eye. I would rank it up there with Ghost in the Shell series, and Princess Mononoke. I would never part with them though esp. as the DVD is an ultra rare edition(brushed metal case and extra disc) Edit: Sound track is great too. ---

Akira is pretty much “the” anime. I don’t think it’s missing from any serious fan’s library. That scene with the tank shell stopping - still bad-ass :tup: ---

i have it on VHS. it’s in great condition, and i’ll sell it for $100 it’s great for how old it is. there have been better movies and series since then, but 1988 makes it revolutionary ---
