When i first say Akira, i was... six years old, or close to that.

But anyway =p

Akira and the GITS 1st movie won't enter the 'generic' line coz they're the precisous girls in the eyes of many directors. Come on, you can tell easily the movies that had their ideas turned to these two great movies (great in all meanings, story and production) and the whole group of directors who try to honor or to simply imitate the Akira/Gits style (from art to direction).

Matrix is the best example ever! Even the camera shots are the one and the same.

And i don't think of Akira and Gits as plain simple Anime movies. They're movies like every other else. What gives me the creeps is when all those classic newspaper people rate those movies as something kid like just because is made of cel. animation! Or 3d or whatever that fits into the animation camp.

Geez -_-'

I believe that the world will colapse when Disney sets a movie fully for adult watchers.
