In this episode of The Popcorn Hour, we're talking about Akira and why we think it's not only one of the greatest animated films ever made, but one of the most important. From its groundbreaking animation and insane attention to detail to its influence on anime, Hollywood, and filmmaking as a whole, Akira changed what people thought animation could be.
We break down what makes the movie so incredible, why it still looks unlike almost anything else nearly 40 years later, and the massive impact it's had on the movies and filmmakers that came after it.
Is Akira the greatest animated film ever made? We think there's a pretty strong argument for it.
