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.

Characters 8/10
Plot 8/10
Style / Writing 7/10
Enjoyment 8/10

Overall 4/5
