Wanted to see if this classic still holds up. Definitely has some problematic elements, and there are so many questions I want answered!

I've wanted to know the classical story of 'Akira' for so long & am finally onto it! This series is iconic & I am already beginning to understand why. I can see how many TV shows and other forms of media have been inspired by this story and am excited to see what happens next! Very cool dystopian action-filled story so far. I like how it follows a group of young bikie gang members as well, its not a common perspective for me to follow.
