AkiraWelcome to Akira, a world where little boys with leprocy can enjoy mind-melting psy-powers and even the school teachers carry heavy artilery. Akira is a futuristic action drama. It really should also be your first introduction into anime. (Well, its what rekindled my interest.)This story takes place in a futuristic city known as Neo Tokyo (Wonder if they know Sailor Moon?) after the third world war. The world's population has been decimated (well, a little) by an enitity known as Akira. The effects of Akira are basically like the ebola virus stirred in with acid and LSD, with a little flesh eating virus for good luck. Now, one branch of the government is experimenting with this for unknown purposes. Perhaps. . . for world domination? Nah, its probably just for the high. People with the Akira strain can display one easily overlooked moral: "People are made of the same stuff as hotdogs!" Yep, when people dissolve from this disease, all sortsa good stuff come out. Metal, goo, and innards -- just like hot dogs! To find the ending, watch, god damn it. Akira is the story of two boys, Kaneda and Tetuo, and their adventures with the mind-expanding plaugue, Akira. Kaneda is the main character, out to save his "pal", Tetsuo. Kaneda is a manly macho man. Well, up until the colonel reduces him to tears. The pansy. . . Tetsuo is the generic underdog. He is a little weiner, striving to prove himself. Unlike most little weiners who get beat up though, when this weenie gets beat up he is injected with a super-dooper leperocy plus! GO SUPER WUSS! This movie has some smooth action scenes and a pretty cool plot. Deadly cool melting baby scene toward the end. Its brought up by the spiffy trippy scenes, but brought back down by. . . shlock-wart. Someone in this movie actually calls someone a "shlock-wart". Aw geez. Well, on the Danny scale, this movie gets a solid 8 out of ten melting infants. A-ok! By Danny
