[Haggis]

I'm glad people have mentioned about the music in Anime. Anime can often seem like a cut down version of the Manga, I mean the Akira movie is only a tiny part of the story, but one of the things I love most about the movie is the film soundtrack.

Music can often add a lot to an anime. Another one I really like is Episode 24 of Neon Genesis Evangelion. Kaworu makes his descent, Shinji chases him and Beethoven's 'Ode To Joy' kicks in, fantastic. I can't imagine the manga will have the same impact on me.
