Akira: you know you like it

Here's the famous bike scene from arguably the most famous anime movie in North America.

"Maybe after you down your first clown"

Seriously though, I still want to know what "twin ceramic rotor drive" actually is.

Well, maybe it is an electric drive with a Mazda rotary engine stuck in there powering a generator. Um, and the rotors are made of ceramic for some reason. And it's a two-rotor engine.

I'm sorry, but that was the strangest movie I've ever seen. I've never seen a movie that gave me consistent nightmares that I didn't even understand. The Japanese are SO WEIRD when it comes to movies.

But holy Christmas can they design cool motorcycles!

The movie did end weird. (but so did 2001). I needed to figure it out. So I read the "phone books." Longer, with more info, but no help on what the hell was going on.

The first time I saw Akira it was an untranslated VHS copy. I still thought it was awesome.

KANEDAAAAAAAAAAA!!!

It's a movie you have to watch more than once. I still get something that I didn't get before when I rewatch it. Though I still don't get it completely.
