Akira is a slightly diffrent addidtion to this archive due to the fact that its an animated feature. But this raises alot of interesting points. The fact that it is animated means that the film can closely represent the graphic novel in a visual standpoint.
However i am not choosing to put this on the list because of the likeness to the original. This is going up there because of the incredibly deep and moving story presented in the feature. One could write a dissertation on the influences and the references to post WW2 Japan and the cold war. It's brilliant, touching and heartfelt portrait of youth culture, delinquency, spirituality and Japan post war is something to be commended and these are my reasons for putting this onto my list.
