 Good Anime CGA July 27, 2008
BlueGemenis
I love this kind of animation. CGA has a lot to evolve and i'll be waiting for
Nice work, but something is missing... July 27, 2008
Anton Rommerskirchen (Germany)
Technically this is surely state of the art CGI for Animation today. Only final Fantasy seems to be more advanced for me.
Story and characters are ok.
Only the fact that it is the obvious bad guy theme at the end gives the 4 star rating - a more intelligent plot for the bad guy and it would hav ended um with five...
 not as good as I had hoped July 26, 2008

I was a little disappointed in the second appleseed movie. The action was there, it just all felt re-hashed. The finale was a total matrix rip off. The action scenes were OK, it just wasn't as cutting edge as the first. I was also surprised to see the Blue-ray only had a dolby digital sound track. No new generation codec. If you like anime, you'll probably enjoy it, if you don't, I wouldn't suggest this as your first view. I would have been happy to have rented this one, not purchased.
 Stunning visuals lacking substance. July 24, 2008
E. Boudreaux (Atlanta, GA)
I second many of the reviews here in recommending the high definition version of the film. The visuals are simply amazing. The detail is crisp, and the animation is fluid. Out of all the high definition films I've seen this one impressed me the most with its visual clarity.
The story content of the film is disappointing when compared to the first film or the graphic novels. The story, while more complex than the previous movie, is poorly paced and far too predictable. The plot seems to be more of an excuse to string together the fantasticly over-the-top John Woo action scenes.
Perhaps my expectations were too high. Based on Masemune Shirow's other works, such as Ghost in the Shell and the earlier Appleseed stories, I expected a much deeper and well organized story.
This is a fantastic film to demonstrate the power of HD, but don't expect a huge emotional payoff when the story's over.
I am really impressed July 24, 2008
A. Schardt
I purchased this blu-ray a while ago and never watched it till last weekend. And I have to say I am really impressed. The quality is amazing and in FullHD it is a real eyecatch. That is what High Definition stands for.
I enjoyed watching this flick. But as I am not that huge anime expert / fan I cannot tell you if this fits in the Appleseed Universe.
I do not regret buying this disc. But I think rental would have done it as well.....
