Akira (1988)
good film, but go read the comic..
well, it's a pretty good movie. although I happen to like the manga much, much better. the characters are not nearly so well developed and some important subplots are weeded out, but the film still works. I like to tell people that the movie operates from a principle very similar to that of 2001 by Kubrick... it's just that while the latter stops short of exploring what people would do after they've evolved, Akira pretty much hits the nail on the head... it's a classic, but it's still not for everyone... if you get a chance read the comic book, because I still think the movie pales in comparison
Ginga-tetsudô no yoru (1985)
haunting, superbly crafted little movie
though it crawls along very deliberately, this is one of the most disturbing and beautiful movies I can remember. virtually every shot and sound in this feature was carefully chosen to serve a higher artistic purpose. it's not for everyone, but if possible, definitely take the trouble to see what should be known as one of the finest animated features ever made. it deals with an anthropomorphic cat and the relationship he has with his best friend, semi-autobiographical interpretation of a novel by Miyazawa Kenji, if I can remember right... go see this movie.
