After the excellent and violent Ninja Scroll, Yoshiaki Kawajiri plunges us into the fantastic fantasy world alongside the most ruthless bounty hunters !! Among them the solitary and taciturn D (the "hero" of the film) who works alone, and his rivals: a bunch of human hunters !! Again, at the level of animation we are well served: fluidity is excellent bill, we take full eyes, character design, sets, costumes are really very classy, the scenario is very eye-catching, no downtime, ... Anyway, do not rush on this pearl

the film is ultimately not very rich in dialogue, the plot is nonetheless fascinating. Each of the ... characters, despite a film that is far too long, presents a lot of work, from the secondary ones to the main ones.
A lot of different characters, with a lot of different abilities. Basically we are not bored, we take full eyes and we are even entitled to a few doses of melodrama.

Akira is one of the greatest anime movies I've ever seen. I don't think it had any dull parts between the beginning and the end. I loved the twist(s) at the end and the way the story evolved as I kept watching.
Akira was the first anime I saw that I knew as anime. Quite possibly caused me to actively seek out more of it's kind though very little was available at the time of it's US release.

To sum it all up; If you haven't seen Akira and call yourself an Anime-fan or whatever, watch it. It's a big part of anime history to exaggerate a ... bit.

Mob Psycho is a brilliant anime and a did not fail to disappoint considering it coming off the back of a massive anime like One Punch Man. The art and animation are amazing especially how new and refreshing the art felt to me, the soundtrack was well done with the highlight being the OP but at some points I expected it to do more for me. The soundtrack did a lot of things well, but it did not blow me away like how I would expect a Yoko Kanno or Yuki Kajiura soundtrack to sound like. The story was great as well as the mini-arc ... based set up let it fully explore its themes without them feeling rushed by the amount of time available to them. And finally the characters were the stand-out of the series, as the not only felt genuine but added a lot of soul to the series.

The art style here is one of my favourite from recent anime. Studio Bones returned back to old form with this entry, as the art style seemed expressive and fresh. The anime felt like it was conceived by a crop of new animators as some of the techniques that were used and animation choices that were made were new to me. The animation quality still felt consistent throughout the 12 episode run, and the expressive art style didn’t suffer because of it.
