Yeah, I watched Akira for the first time when it was released on two-disc DVD however long ago, and to be honest, I wasn't impressed. Considering it was made in the mid-80s, the animation was superb and still holds up, but I wasn't in awe of it as I'm sure most people were when it came out. And I didn't think the story was that amazing either. I'm not saying it was a bad film or that it's not a classic; I just wasn't impressed by it in the 21st century.
