This is the original dub of akira, the one where kaneda's name isn't pronounced like our neighbors to the north. The old dub makes the movie feel grittier, uglier. I wasn't happy when pioneer decided to remaster the movie AND re-dub, now I can strip the audio from the vhs and splice it into the cleaned up dvd. Spielberg tried to "improve" Star Wars and was eventually pushed to release a theatrical version on dvd, since pioneer hasn't, I'll have to make it happen myself. Any movie worth that kind of effort has to be pretty good, right? Maybe I'm just a gigantic dork.
First and best english dub of Akira. A must have in any Anime VHS collection.

What can I say, you can't beat the originals. This version is the best copy made for release in the states. I have owned the dvd and blue ray versions, they both were terrible. The VHS original has all the original voices, lines, and great animation I have came to love.

I have always loved this anime and was happy to see if for a great price! I look forwards to watching it again! It has that wonderful epic blend of intrigue and sci fi mixed with an artistic edge that is hard to beat!
