Necronomic Recovery's Comments

I've long maintained that you can't change the past.

Say your friend dies in a car crash. You travel back in time to save him. Your friend says thanks as you head back to your future.
From your friend's point of view, he carries on his life until he reaches the point in time where you jump back in time to save. Except you don't. Because he didn't die.
So if he didn't die, you never had to go back in time. And if you never went back in time, then who saved him from being killed in a car crash? Paradox.

(I suppose your friend could manipulate you into time travelling back to save him or just outright ask you to but this contradicts the original reason. Your friend was, as far as you were concerned originally, dead.)

So the only leeway I can see for changing the past is if the exact circumstances are not know. The outcome can never change but the details can.

Like many, Akira was my introduction to Anime and it really spoiled me. It was such a revelation that everything which came afterwards lived in it's mighty shadow.

Also the fact that is was all hand-drawn makes it so much more amazing. Seeing something done with CG (especially obvious CG) takes away some of the perception of skill. It goes from "wow!" to "Nice. But they did it on computers."
