Akira on Youtube in HD

I was searching the web for a movie to watch the other day and I decided on Akira.

"Akira (アキラ?) is a 1988 anime film written and directed by Katsuhiro Otomo based on his hit manga. "The film is set in a futuristic and post-war city, Neo-Tokyo, in 2019. While most of the character designs and basic settings were adapted from the original 2182-page manga epic, the restructured plot of the movie differs considerably from the print version, pruning much of the last half of the manga."

"The movie consists of 2,212 shots and 160,000 single pictures, 2-3 times more than usual, using 327 different colors (another record in animation film), 50 of which were exclusively created for the film. The reason for this statistic is that most of the movie takes place at night, a setting that is traditionally avoided by animators because of the increased color requirements. "

It gets a lot of credit for being a pioneer in anime and because I enjoyed "Spirited Away" so much I thought I would give it a chance. The scenery itself pretty much makes the movie worth it, regardless of story line. The Benjamin Button people aren't really my favorite but other than that it was pretty enjoyable! Check it out!
