>Akira is the pinnacle of animated story telling in all aspects
Youre pleb tier judgement makes me vomit

Yeah, plenty of anime already has. Don't get me wrong, Akira was pretty good though.

>>158196217

This is usually consistently voted no. 1 animated movie in Japanese polls. Contrarians bore me.

Does it matter what I reply with here since im already taking the bait?

I'm sure there's a lot that tops it, but it was good.
Always liked the art style of anime back in the 80's/90's

It's really pretty, but story wise it's nothing out-of-this-world. Not like it's made out to be by reputation, at least

>>158196092
nothing will top it's importance in the west. but anime has produced a ton of great shows that some would say "top it" in animation, story, and/or designs.

the movie is a complete mess when compared to the books. read those instead

Yes. It's pretty to look at but that's about it.

Read the books for the actual story and watch the movie for top notch body horror animation.

Better question, will anything top this?

Probably not as it's sort of been placed on a pedestal of "Great Anime Ever" because people obsessed with lists decided there needed to be one.

At this point, it's sort of a meaningless accolade.

watch more than 10 OVAs/movies

also this is a rec thread that belongs in /trash/

>>158196337
when the only anime movies you've watched are akira and spirited away there isn't a lot of competition. popularity polls are inherently flawed in this way.

its a shit list. Princess Kaguya isn't even listed for fucks sake.

The story is lacking, but the animation is still top tier and it's oozing with style.

Akira is honestly shit desu. It features some of the ugliest character designs of all time and there is barely any shading. None of the girls are even cute. And let's not forget the retarded story.
>edgy kid gets powers for literally no reason and becomes evil
What a masterpiece.
