Yes. About five years ago I completely quit anime altogether, thinking it was something I could only enjoy as a kid. Then about six months later, I watched a little movie called Howl's Moving Castle and it brought back all the magic I had over looked...never looked back. Funny thing is, Akira is what got me into anime, and even after seeing that movie many a time, I still thought anime was only for children. Guess you gotta come full-circle to truly appreciate somethings sometimes.
