I believe I wound up seeing Akira four or five times in different theaters, it became a regular fixture on the art-cinema circuit. The audience was excited, the theater was mostly full (Phipps Plaza in Atlanta, I believe they had four screens at the time) and apart from some nitpicking about the dub, the movie knocked everybody out, even those of us who'd seen it on bootleg VHS fan subs. I'm just going to say "Akira" during its first theatrical run in the US.
