2.0

I dug the art style: It drives home the Akira connections I missed in the prose as a kid. Unfortunately, there are a lot of bad choices that make the adaptation poor cyberpunk. There are way too many text boxes, and instead of the tropiness of Harrison Ford's Blade Runner voiceover, they read as band-aids applied late to the work. The panel layout is often frustrating. A nostalgic hors d'oeuvre for the novel, nothing more.
