Why does everyone like Akira so much. I think I'm the only one that thinks the story is bad. I didn't like Akira at all... I don't see why people worship this film.
DBZ and Sailormoons paved the way for anime to be translated and broadcasted on TV... from what I remember anyway... but I'll always have a place for Saint Seiya and Doraemon
DBZ and Sailormoon made anime cheaper in America. It didn't pave the way. Shows like Robotech, Starblazers, Voltron, and Speed Racer. Now those shows paved the way here in the states. Everyone should respect Akira (go check out the thread) because of its influence. The animation and color blew everything else aside. It was one of Streamline's first projects and if not for Streamline it would have been until DBZ and Sailormoon before Anime would have had its first wave. Macross Do You Remember Love is still one of the most beautiful pieces of work I have ever seen, for its age it still holds to todays animation.
