So this movie still holds up! However if you bought this version. Be aware the HDR does not exist on this disk. Had to send my receipt to funimation to get the HDR disk replacement. Was able to watch the movie. Colors were pretty solid and the 4k looked really good. This is a anime staple. A must watch if you love anime

Just like i remember. Says hdr but looks sane as i remember it from when had it on vhs so no idea but looks and plays good.

This is really required viewing for anyone enjoying anime or cyberpunk. Amazing urban backgrounds, great plot. The new voices threw me off, but the original voice tracks are on there. Though by the end I was enjoying the new VO more than then original.

This is a classic sci fi film. A must see movie for anybody who loves the future and Scientific experiments gone wrong. The action is great, the character relationships and story are extravagant.

This DVD set is a great addition to any collection and as crazy as it sounds the artist had enough foresight and mentions technologies in the anime that have only become common in the last couple years for motor sports technologies

Akira is an anime classic that helped inspire numerous genre breaking movies - including The Matrix. Highly recommended not only b/c of the packaging, but also just the movie itself is a must watch of any action/sci-fi fan.

4K Ultra HD Blu-ray Disc. Sad to see Best Buy’s Physical Media sections dying out!!!!

I remember watching this whenever I could as a kid and it’s no less amazing now on blu-ray than it was back then in SD. As it’s been updated it takes me back to when I was a kid sneaking up late to watch this on cable.

Excellent artwork and cinematography. We didn’t end up finishing the movie but so far great. Would recommend it to people who appreciate fine detail in animation.

Bought this at a risk, never seen it before, but was read this is what started Anime up in the West. I am a huge anime fan, and for it's age, it was a really good movie.

This movie is an Anime classic. And remastered in 4k if you have a home theater system this movie will come back to the front of your mind like never before.

Classic and groundbreaking film when it came out. Aged well. Read the manga also to get the experience. The visuals push you to the limits.

Anime doesn/t look like this anymore, anime didn't even look like this at the time! Exceptional example the medium. There is gore, keep the little ones away. But wow everyone should see this at least once.

I find that this cutting edge type of animation holds up better against anything CGI can produce in today's time. A must have in any anime lover catalog collection.

Amazing new transfer of the incredible Japanese anime adapted from the seminal manga series by Katsuhiro Ôtomo. Back from a time long ago when cel animation was still done by hand, the artistry on display here is simply breathtaking.

This is the version of Akira to get. I've owned multiple versions on DVD and Blu-Ray. This has most of the special features from the double-DVD version, and the best picture and sound quality of any release.

Anyone who truly knows a thing or two about anime knows this is THE title with the most Prestige behind it.. do yourself a favor and watch this if u haven’t already.

Not sure why I've waited this long to own AKIRA, but I'm glad I grabbed this edition. One of the best anime in 4k. Great package and presentation as well.

This is as close to a definitive edition as you can get. The only thing that the extras is missing is the "production report" video. They used some footage from that documentary, but that's pretty much it. The only reason i wouldn't give this a perfect score is because of the extras. Kind of a missed opportunity. The main selling point for me was that they finally released the sought after 1988 english dub.

Akira for me harkens back to best time in anime. It is truly one of the all time greatest films. And this blu ray edition has the original English audio as well as tons of great special features. A must buy
