[quote name='Brak']I don't know anything about the Akira DVDs available.
I heard some were cut, I heard that the dubbed version sucks, etc., etc.
Just wanted to know which one has the truest experience.
I'll just wait for the Blu-Cheese one.[/QUOTE]
The Blu-Cheese one might not be the best option, honestly. The release date's up in the air in Japan and there's no release date for the US right now, but more importantly, the company handling the Blu-Cheese is Bandai Visual, who is charing $80 for Blu Ray anime movies. Yeah, $80. By comparison, you can get the DTS DVD for like... $15 probably. And the DTS edition is excellent -- the sound is really good (provided that you're listening to the Japanese DTS track), the video quality is really good, and there's no cuts or anything.
