My son and i got up early ( quite a few years ago ) and watched akira and a few other gems on ( I think it was ) the scifi channel- we did not know even what anime was, it took us along time to even find out it was from Japan and it was called Anime- at that time you could only buy them on VHS and they cost over 30 bucks a pop - our local stores would not even order them because they were a special order and out of the norm ! then About 4-5 years ago we found Akira at a Kmart ( reissued ) for about 20 bucks on DVD and i think thats what turned on the light for me , and it was very hard to even see Anime without blindly ordering them and taking your chances- that it would be a complete piece of S---.
