Weird to realise that 2019 is only a few years away now; when I first watched this 2019 seemed such a long way away

I know its another bench mark, like everything in Back to the Future now happened in the past. Sadly in 4 years the same will be true of this film.

Great find I rarely see Akira blu-rays on sale under a tenner, so under a fiver is a bargain.

It's been around a fiver for ages now, (around £4 at Zoom for over 4 months also) Currently just under a fiver at Amazon:man:
