Perhaps on par with Akira?

Many weebs would kill me for saying this, but imho, it's definitely on par with Akira. It's a classic, there's a few anime/manga considered classics, whether underground or mainstream, this is one of them. If you haven't seen them, I'd also recommend Cowbow Bepop & Samurai Champloo too. They're a different type of anime, they're short, but have great story and animation (both are under 30 episodes iirc).

Short is good. I've heard of some decades long classics, but I'm not ready for that. I have Cowboy Bebop somewhere (recommended long ago by a dear friend) and even tried to start it. Maybe it's time to try again - and that other one. Thanks again!
