Akira

I remember first catching this way back in 1995 when it premiered on the Sci-Fi Channel when they used to air anime every weekend (I sure feel old remembering that). An absolutely classic anime film in my opinion that still stands the test of time and holds up. It's got a great story accompanied by some truly remarkable visuals and plenty of action. It also has a very haunting quality to it that stays with you long after you've seen it. The music is another high point. I've never read the original manga but am definitely seeking it out. No idea about the live-action adaptation which seems to be stuck in development Hell. Akira is a film that in the hands of the right director could be incredible done in live-action.

Also here's something of a blast from the past, remember this commercial back in the late 90s advertising the VHS (again, I feel old remembering there was a time VHS was the dominant home-viewing format):
