It's hard to put into words the impact this film had on USian viewers. Like Ghost in the Shell -- which came *after* this one -- it helped create the demand for animation directed to an adult audience.

It's overt violence, style, and gore made it clear from the start that "This is not for kids". No doubt USian conservatives latched onto those same qualities for their own moralizing and proselytizing. It was often included as a bullet point in the Satanic Panic.

Even so, Akira helped to establish animation as a *medium*, not just a target audience. And who could deny it? The animation is a technical achievement.

I've started a rewatch of a show with an amazing premise, but I forgot that two of the supporting characters (who are supposed to be "good guys") are amazingly terrible jerks.

I saw a Cybertruck parked along side a pickup yesterday, and it's really wierd to see how BIG those are. The pictures make them look like the size of a car.
