I own 2 copies of Akira (LE Tin and DTS 5.1 Japanese version)... it's my favorite anime movie and I think of it as the greatest animated film ever made (Japanese or otherwise).
It was also the first anime I EVER watched (rented it from Blockbuster when I was about 10-years-old after catching the very end of it on the Sci-Fi Channel. Had a cruddy, cruddy dub... but it really turned me on to the art.
