Finally saw Akira

I've heard hype around this movie for quite some time. I've never been tooot into anime, but lately I've had a craving for it, so the other night I went out and rented Akira..

I was blown away. Maybe it's partly cause I have yet to experience everything anime has to offer, but geeze, I loved this movie. One of my favorite aspects was just watching tetsuo's(?) transformation through the movie, the whole metal arm thing was a nice touch, and I loved how he slowly became more and more insane throughout the whole movie, along with his whole inferiority complex. Sorry I'm rambling, but theres so much stuff to love in that movie. I'm gonna pick it up on dvd asap, does anyone know the best edition to get, that is, if they have special editions or anything like that? What are everyone else's thoughts on this movie?
