Yeah, most of the "manga" films are for adults. But I guess that's why I like them, it's not just animation but one with a gripping, aesthetic plots. And the gore doesn't bother me too bad (even though one scene did give me a 'splitting headache'!)

LOL!! I agree with ya, HT! That's why I love anime so much...it deals with a lot of subjects that American animation just won't do. There are tons of anime out there that deal with all kinds of subjects. It's quite amazing.

Yeah... hrmm... so what sort of meaning did you make out of the ending of Akira? Was it something along the lines of Titan AE, but just for the inhabitants of NeoTokyo?

i still don't understand the ending. it just goes over my head.

Y'know, the ending is still somewhat of a mystery for me. I'm thinking that Akira took the wrinkly kids and Tetsuo with him to a place where they would no longer be in pain. In other words, he was their saviour, liberating them from their suffering.
And I haven't seen Titan AE!! I need to rent that.
