Geneon's fourth region 1 DVD of the title, fifth if one counts the tin set, is really a more budget oriented release for the classic animated movie than anything else.
Geneon has done a wonderful job restoring Akira as it has never looked better than on this release, or the numerous other discs that the have been issued that utilize the same transfer.
Overall, the only complaints to be had is that there is a hint of edge enhancement with some noticeable haloing, and that some faint grain is apparent, which is always much easier to spot on animated films.
