Not at all.
It is severely overrated.
past seeing a scot bernard style mech in a real world meets future environment.
Akira is more about someone.
trying to be old school i seen this you ain't seen it elitism.

Was the animatrix, ever in theaters? Watching those first two episodes must have been wild on the big screen.

It was beautiful the art was amazing and still is.

They just don't make pretty anime animation like this any more. Its usually CGI or that cartoony gay ass feminine cute look that they have now.

And they definitely don't use a lot of mechs and sci fi as in the past. The story was jumbled but the animation is still top notch.

Yeah, they don’t and I love the gainax ,madhouse,bones et.c

Like Akira, Ghost in the Shell, EVA, early ghibli ....just another level

No, but I understand why someone would say otherwise. You can't call yourself an anime watcher and not have seen this movie. It's just too influential.
