And although it pains me to say it, this movie will be 40 in less than six full years (2028). It was one of my first experiences with really great art style Anime that wasn't Robotech. I saw it for the first time on VHS when I was in college.

It really depends on what you like because if you mean you hate anime because much of it is targeted to young adults and the themes don't speak to you, then fine. But anime is just like regular cinema in my opinion, the only difference being that it is in an animated format. It can have lighthearted comedic themes, it can have serious, dramatic and horror themes and at that point it just depends what genre you generally enjoy watching. When it comes to this movie though I think it is truly great the art is fantastic and the story is interesting and kinda trippy. Imagine a dystopian action thriller with trippy elements. Anyway to answer your question, given the fact that you're on slick deals, say you hate anime, and it's $12 I would say no - wait for $5 or wait for streaming. If you want an entry point into anime this is a good one if you take into account everything I've typed and if it is a genre that sounds interesting to you.

Does it have the original English voices from the ORION VHS or that bastardized pioneer version with the horrible english voice actors that ruined the experience after growing up watching the original tape?

was it your first experience watching Akira in English? if so, then it makes sense - the nostalgia is half of the fun..

"hey whats your name?" , "kay" , "hey dont look a gift horse in the mouth!"

lmao - i practically have it memorized i love the original voices.

it's on hulu. watch it there and buy it if you like it. it's a movie so it won't be like those anime series and this is what many consider to be the best movies period. Modern directors all cite this as an inspiration for world building in moviez
