Akira, thought by many to be the greatest anime movie of all time, is being re-released theatrically. The first test run will be at the AMC Empire theater in Times Square, from March 30, 2001 to April 5, 2001. For ticket information, call 212-398-2597.

I cannot stress enough how great this movie is, even non-anime fans will love this movie. It has been the inspiration for countless other movies and anime shows, and helped legitimize anime viewing in the United States. If you are a anime fan, or thinking about becoming one, i strongly recommend you watch this movie. If you have any questions, please feel free to IM or E-Mail me. The link below is the official movie re-release movie site. This movie has undergone a massive restoration process, and it really shows. Dont deny yourself the opportunity to watch this masterpeice in Dolby Digital Surround Sound, you WILL regret it!

Thanks for the info. Akira is an awesome flick. Better than most of the live-action garbage Hollywood is producing.

You listen to me! While I will admit to a certain cynicism, the fact is I am a nay-sayer and a hatchet man in the fight against violence! I pride myself in taking a punch and I'll gladly take another because I choose to live my life in the company of Gandhi and King! My concerns are global. I reject absolutely revenge, aggression, and retaliation. The foundation of such a method...is love. I love you, Sheriff Truman.

I miss that film. It is definitely one hell of an anime that easily puts most of the crap action films to shame that are currently out there.
I'm there dude.

I knew about the re-release as well... I am defenitely goinng to check it out. Would love to see it in the theatre... They should re-release: Ninja Scroll in the theatres, that would defenitely look awesome, I love that movie, it has some of the best animation I have ever seen... I am also a big Gundam fan, so I can't wait till they start showing the Universal Calendar series on CTN(Even though they will edit it for fucking kids- I hate that shit).

I don't see anything wrong with Anime's dubbed in english. As long as they are done right, sometimes voice overs are done so badly, or the actor's voice does not match that of the character. The first version of Akira, I don't think they did such a bad job w/ the dubbing... wasn't the greatest I've heard, but it was defenitley good enough to be in a profesional Anime film, and now in the website I read they even re-did the dubbing with different actors, so that should be interesting. The same goes for Ninja Scroll, I was satisfied w/ the dubbing as well. And now that you can find Animes on DVD, some of them offer both versions on the same DVD which is great.

I cant go until Saturday night, so i probably wont see anyone. Cacasmooches is right, they deleted the original English voicetrack and hired new actors to play the parts. Pioneer does have a pretty good reputation concerning english dubbing, they tend not to "rape" it like most do. Most of the time, the english actors have the voice of John montome, their voice stays consistant no matter what is happening in the scene. Still, i prefer Japanese subbed, because you can still see what the director wantd you to see (english dubbing companies tend to edit out anyhting that would seem controversial, like nudity and sex and violence and cursing). It's my biggest hope that the DVD has both voice tracks though.

BTW Skank, if i see another one, I'll pick it up for you.

MOVIE REVIEW....

-of course this is not a new movie but a re-release of the classic anime AKIRA:

I thouight that they did a pretty good job on the dubbing part. There was still a lot of blood and violence, and the graphics were just incredible of course.... it's just awesome to watch that movie on the big screen... I recommend it to every anime fan or not to go see this movie.

-thanks Sephiroth.

SO SSSHHHHHHH!!!

Heh, never thought I'd see this Topic again.

I saw the movie a couple of days ago, and it was great. Trust me when i say that you do not have to be a Anime fan to enjoy this movie. If you are even slightly interested in the Sci-fi genre, you will love this movie. Tons of Violence and Gore, a great and deep storyline, and stunning animation. GO SEE IT !!
