Akira is more stylized, and has an interesting look. But Ghost in the Shell with it's detailed world of secret government special forces groups and conspiracies is I think more involving. It's like a real version of a possible sci-fi future Japan. I was so impressed when I first saw it, and then I understood what all the enthusiastic talk about this anime was about. And, of course, they go into even more detail on those subjects in the anime series version, which is great.

I may be one of the odd ones but I just saw Akira last year and Ghost in the Shell about a month ago and honestly I didn't like Akira and Ghost in the Shell I thought was... just 'ok'.

I concur.

altough I haven't watched all of GITS (lol) but I just seemed a tad to slow for my tastes.

Both are indeed landmark pieces of animation.

But for mine I was taken more by Ghost in the Shell. It was... Less 'in my face' than Akira felt to me. That scene at the end with Spider Tank taking on The Major sticks with me. And Ghost in the Shell has provided more talking points then Akira ever has among my group of friends.
