Akira - best Anime...ever!

I saw this when I was like 10 for the first time on the international channel! Good times.

the cover of the Regular edition looks better IMO, but of course, I will have the special edition.

Any of you guys have the toys?

Tetsuo looks so tight! One of his arms is starting the transformation and is all huge and nasty, it is awesome!

I got the bike, too :)

Damn. I hate those tin boxes. Why couldn\'t they just made it a really nice fold out or something? Sheesh!

Yah, I personally hate the T2 tin that they have but love those fold out boxes they do with those ingenius designs.  IE: Fight Club Se7en, and a couple of others.  Oh well, I guess cardboard just wouldn\'t cut it for something as futuristic as Akira.  Although I don\'t like how it was done for the T2 special edition either.  Strange world. :)
