Akria is some wild shit man. Best anime of all time, and one of the most bizarre but well thought out premises. Truly a master piece. Great analysis, you deserve way more views on this!

Great video epic use of music, really enjoyed

[@maximechopin2600]

Very thorough, thanks a lot, gives a lot to think about

[@kiefercampney]

Great writing! I'd try mixing your voice a little higher than the music next time. It's makes it a little more difficult to listen to since it drowns your narration out at times.

[@EDP2000]

Thanks for the tip.

[@SamtheWarden]

You downplay the importance of Kaneda in the books.

Hey buddy. Do you like reviewing movies and want to do crossovers while making friends along the way? If your answer is yes then you are probably interested to join the Reviewer community Team Night Saturn where reviewers like you and me are coming together.
