Is it? I'm not sure that I would compare those two films together. Sure Akira is a great film, but it does have its problems, such as only adapting the first half of the original manga story. There is still a lot that never got told.

Anime ended up crossing into my other line of work: comedy. I'm currently at the Edinburgh Fringe where among my jobs, I'm a judge in a series of alternative comedy awards called the Malcolm Hardee Awards. Among the shows that have made our shortlist is a show all about Pokemon, which is up for...
