On the Spot - Widely acclaimed as the pinnacle of anime classics, Akira is usually seen at the top of most anime review sites. And that is not because it starts with an "A." Set at the a post-world-war-III era, Akira starts off by giving the audience a glimpse of a Japan ravaged by the war. According to hearsay, the war was started by an "unknown force" which escalated to a world war. For such a single force to trigger a world wide conflict is a phenomenal feat. You could only guess what kind of a force it is... And no its not Oprah. This generation, however, is ravaged by carnal youths, and gangs of all kinds. There is a kid named Tetsuo who runs into a strange boy who apparently was a part of a military experiment called Akira. And you know that military experiments always go wrong, hence, The Incredible Hulk, Spiderman, and that other movie with a really weird kid...with a really weird haircut... Anyways this is acclaimed as the best anime movie of all time. Check it out and see if it lives up to its reputation. Enjoy!
