    The akira project

    I like it. It's cool. It's really short, they should have made this to a movie, it would have been really cool. To be honest if they did make this into a movie. It would have probably been like 8.1/10 on the I m d b rating, to be honest, I if you like the original akira, I recommend you watch this.j.
