Synopsis
Based on Masamune Shirow's acclaimed manga, 'Appleseed' is a haunting and thrilling vision of an apocalyptic future in which human life is slowly being controlled by a new breed of Biodroids, creatures that are half android, half man. In this future, the remnants of the world's governments create a city named Olympus near the Canary Islands designed to be a utopia. However, this utopia is controlled by the Biodroids, and soon the human population has had enough. Rallying together a band of terrorists, the humans decide that they must destroy Gaia, the computer that runs Olympus, thereby freeing themselves and delivering a fatal blow to the reeling superpowers.

2.0 out of 5 stars One for the Collectors, 21 Jun 2006
By Murray Thomson "Sinnyo" (Basingstoke, Hampshire, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'm not going to immediately debunk the film as a travesty, as it has its moments, but there is little to like here when compared to Appleseed's remake over a decade on from this version. The animation, characters and soundtrack all sound typical of a 1980s animé and by that respect may well come across as unremarkable. Readers of Shirow Masamune's manga original may appreciate this film more for its closer ties to his storyline, and fans of the Appleseed remake may appreciate the steps made since this film's productions, but while the film should not be met with great expectations it's still one of the better line of unfortunate victims to animé aging.

4.0 out of 5 stars For your inital impressions about the look ..., 12 Feb 2008
My views might be slighted blinkered as this is one of my long time favourate anime, which was destroyed in 2003 by the new translation from Jonathen Clemments. This, fortunately is the original.

Yes the art work may be dated and there may be a 1980s style sound track, but that is because that was when this anime was made. The art work is not too disimilar to the original manga, and the story is posisbly closer to book 3 of Shirow's manga than Oshii's Ghost in the Shell.

While a lot of the political complexities behind the story may be lost, as was back ground information, this is still a very well done anime with good pace, intrigue and plot. The latest version may be a visual feadt, but has little to do with the original manga bar the setting.

This is an anime I would fully recommend, just get beyond those prejudices over the looks. At £5-10 for the DVD this one is most certainly worth it.

5.0 out of 5 stars brilliant!, 27 Jul 2008
By Mr. G. D. Stevens "Guy" (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
dont listen 2 the negative reviews here, this is the 2nd best anime ive seen (after akira) and it beats the newer version 10 fold! the character KARON, a crooked cop, hopes 2 shut down the city of olympus as he sees it as caging the humans in, whilst his colleagues, a blonde girl and some robot with rabbit ears, try 2 stop him, not knowing its karon whos doin it. Karon, altho the bad guy, is the 1 u sympathy with and want 2 win, as he is right in a way, and when he dies at the end ull truly be like OH GOD DAMN IT! the music and animation is alright altho its 80s so what do u expect, but its a brilliant movie and well worth seeing, so BUY IT
