Countdown Akira is an erotic tale of forbidden obsession from the mind of Hiroyuki Utatane, the director of the notorious Cool Devices, a series that pushed the boundaries of adult anime in the United States. Review: A rare gem that has sadly been mis-categorized - This series is absolutely amazing! Unfortunately, it has been mislabeled as a hentai, and bundled with other anime porn. Thus it is NOT a hentai. It's an erotic-psychological-drama-romance. Yes, it does have graphic sex scenes in it, but you don't even see anything other than some breasts. I have seen standard ecchi anime that have been far more graphic. The story really draws you in. The plot is very deep and really draws you in. The characters are complex and feel real. And the voice actor for the female lead does a stupendous job. You can really hear the emotion in her voice that makes her character feel very realistic. The art is really good, and the director uses it to express beauty, art, and emotion. The only drawback is that half of it is slide-show, but there's a reason for that too, which comes into play at the very end of the last episode, and it is also used to signify important and emotional scenes. Sadly, due to it incorrect hentai label, many people pass over this rare gem, thinking it's just standard anime smut. It's really worth a watch. Review: Stupid show - I have no idea why Akira is fairly popular, but keep on mind it's only been 2 reviews before me. Akira has some artistic pretensions and I sure appreciated that the makers did not fall in usual pornographic practice of turning sex into total degradation and torture of women. The central guy here is not engaged in kidnapping, beating and raping women, so far so good but couldn't be too good. The guy is a bitter loser, obsessed with his sister, the ever present incest element in anime. I don't even care to remember his name. He doesn't attack women, but doesn't deliver pleasure either, only his stupid bitterness in a mechanic and pathetic act supposed to be sex, displaying far more his smug and dumb pretty face than sex. Well, we can't call this pornography if it pleases anyone. The show is artistic in the sense of displaying a realistically pathetic person facing reality at the end, big deal, uh?
