Here's a hint pal, maybe you shouldn't like things just because they're popular. Maybe you should be capable of making your own judgments despite what other people think.
I'm 30, kid, and watched Akira for the first time when I was 10 (two years after it was released). I like it because it was a seminal moment in anime that you are probably too young to remember and because it is an excellent movie (plotwise, characters are great and the art is fantastic). I've been watching anime for over two decades and there aren't many other anime films that rival it.
Like I said, the fact that it's one of the most critically acclaimed anime movies of all time and is often cited in the top 100 movies ever (not just anime) shows how good it is.
mmmm unless those reasons for citing it in the top 100 movies is because it was popular... which it probably is still cited for that reason. Which explains why you're still going on about it instead of describing what made it good. You what else had a good plot? Iron Sky... NOT! Iron sky sucked and no matter how much I say it was good does not change the amount of suck.
Also Blood Reign... might be a little gorier than Akira.
