Explosions, gunfire, broken limbs, fractured skulls, and simply killed there and there. Bikers spit on the law, trampling its representatives into the mud. Is this a revolution? No, it's a curse. They want to bring these people back to their home world? Oh, and these naive thoughts are akin to what the kids in Battle Royale 2 said: Fucking adults, I'll never be. It will be even worse... or rather, already. And no one is right: neither adults who keep their balance by force, nor children who gain freedom by force. Nobody's changed. The system of rehabilitation of mankind, built after the Judgment Day, failed.
But they did not try to teach the viewer. No morals, no moral dilemmas. The picture stands out with the atmosphere inherent in the “Akira” that has not yet been released then, and that catches.
The plot, if not dreamed of, is a little better, more mature in some points, but gives even fewer answers, rather confusedly connects the first part with the second, but still brings the story to the end, and the radically changed style of drawing and design (glorious, it is worth noting) are generally able to confuse, say: are we watching the continuation, because the technical gap between the first and second picture is so great? Animation has improved, naturalism, sex, senseless cruelty have been added, and the feeling of the scale of the events has significantly increased.
Overall, I liked the second part more than the first. But this picture lacks cut – the elaboration of the plot, the absence of threads cut from the first film, the neatness of the ideological component. But still it is worth watching the “classic”.
