The soundtrack was bad? Someone hold me back.
The soundtrack ... sucks?

Step four: Profit
I feel the same with Princess Mononoke.
The plots of all those earlier movies. Akira, Hits and ninja scroll and Eva are fucking trash. Just watch the pretty animation.
Guy's I'm not down playing the animation. It was great! It's everything else. I guess I'm just gonna have to read the manga someday.
I wouldn't recommend it. The best thing about the manga is also the way it's drawn and you don't like that part.Guy's I'm not down playing the animation. It was great! It's everything else. I guess I'm just gonna have to read the manga someday.
Ninja Scroll! That was the movie I was trying to think of. Yeah. It's another one of those anime movies that everybody recommending back in the day but it's really just cool fights and good animation. As a film itself, it's pretty garbage.
I guess I was bummed out with the little focus it had on the Akira backstory. The flashback near the end barely had any payoff.
Soundtrack was bad

Fight meI feel the same with Princess Mononoke.
It was OK. The animation was nice except for the way people were drawn. Hated the way they looked. Some nice action scenes. Soundtrack was bad ( DUN DUN DUN!). Story was meh. Characters were meh. This movie is considered one of the best anime films ever. I honestly don't get the love for it and I don't understand why Hollywood wants to make a live action film. Am I missing something Gaf or is it 2deep4me?
yeah it was a dumb movie

The manga is gorgeous, heavily influenced by U.S. action cinema and in turn was a significant inspiration to the graphic design of western comics. The story makes a whole lot more sense not being cut down to a vestigal nub, but I still don't think I'd recommend it to someone who didn't like the movie.
P.S. The soundtrack is fantastic, maybe you just dislike stuff that is good?

What I would give for anime to still be drawn like that. I really miss the old school anime look. I hate the pointy noses and giant gobstopper eyes.The animation was nice except for the way people were drawn. Hated the way they looked.
I've wanted to buy the manga volumes for years but they're soooooo expensive. I always end up flipping through them when I'm at a bookstore, though. Gorgeous artwork.

This happens a lot. Some person watches something from 30 years ago, or plays a game on the NES for the first time ever and go "...I don't get it." In most cases you simply won't. It was something that can be appreciated now, but the effect it had on everything was strongest in it's original day.
The fact is the film holds up pretty damn well. Animation is still amazing. The plot is pretty straight forward. Maybe on another viewing you will "get it".
Ninja Scroll! (...) it's really just cool fights and good animation. As a film itself, it's pretty garbage.
Quoted for truth, same applies for Nausicaa Valley of the Wind, the manga absolutely slays the anime.Read the manga.
Not in comparison to Akira's adaptation. Personally I prefer manga to anime adaptations in most cases, but Nausicaa's is well done.Quoted for truth, same applies for Nausicaa Valley of the Wind, the manga absolutely slays the anime.
