Either you're joking or you're absolutely insane.
Totoro was a amazing, and it's pretty much impossible for Miyazaki to make a bad film, the english dub is pretty bad, but Anime should never be judged by the english dubs. And the lack of plot is bad criticism, since that's wrong anyway, and what I think you meant is that it didn't have an anime plot. But that's really one of the great things about the movie, it took a very simple plot and made something out of it. It's one of the best kids films ever made, you have to be out of your mind to say it even comes close to being less than a great film, let alone being a bad film.
I have absolutely no idea what your standards for animation is, but it must be ridiculously high if you think the animation in Akira was bad, it was made in the 80s and even for that time the animation was very detailed and fluid for an anime, I still think it looks amazing.
