The issue with trying to review Akira, is which version are we to review? And of course, did you see the same version. As one of the grand daddies of the second wave of the Anime Invasion (following Astro Boy, Kimba the White Lion, Macross and the like), Akira was 'localized' for western audiences multiple times with varying degrees of success. I have watched this movie numerous times and the varying localisations had bled together in my mind. That said, most of the current version one can obtain are either solid or excellent, so I wouldn't worry too much. But the older the version you find, then more wary you should be.
