There are a lot of good options, but Akira is near the top
I re-watched that recently with my kids (now at more or less the same age I was when I watched it for the first time) just waiting for the bit where Tetsuo goes super extra... bleagh.

10/10 would recommend.
Yea what a classic, although I read the manga first, so I think I'm still partial to the comic. Some of the panels I can linger on.
