Customer Reviews of Appleseed (Limited Collector's Edition with Metal Case)
HOLY CRAP, THAT WAS AWESOME! I'm no anime fan, but... "APPLESEED - DVD" <
> <
>I'm no anime fan but if they look this good and have this kind of amazing action I'm soon to be a huge one. I can't get over the fantastic action sequences and the way a cartoon movie had such a realistic look and feel to it. Also, the characters were very interesting. So much so, it made me want to care about them. The CGI is nothing short of incredible and when these huge vehicles come crashing towards the screen...well it's nothing short of amazing, too. I just can't say enough good things about this movie. <
>I was reeled in the entire time and I can't remember the last time I could say that about any movie. I tried to get into anime once before by watching the COWBOY BEBOOP movie but I just didn't get a feel for it. Now, after watching APPLESEED, I can't help but feel I may really be missing out on something. <
>FAN or NO FAN of Anime, if you like ACTION and tons of EYE-CANDY then don't hesitate to own "AppleSeed". I can't imagine anyone not loving this movie. It's nothing short of amazing. I only wish I'd purchased the 2-disc version first, so I could have saved a few bucks, because I must see the extras for this movie. <

>TWO THUMBS UP and a huge MUST SEE!!!
Some of the best CGI ever
This is, hands down, some of the best CGI anime ever made. Movement is smooth as silk, and realistically rendered; character interaction with background and surroundings is perfect. The storyline is well-written and the characters are rounded and believable. Even the dialogue, a perennial weak point for anime, is excellent.

>The only thing that lags here is the voice-over work, another area in which anime suffers as a whole. Perhaps this is because all the development money on these project is typically spent on artists and rendering equipment. The work of anime voice-over actors (especially English ones) is of generally poor quality and Appleseed is no exception.

>Appleseed instantly became a top-5 item for me, equalling and in some respects, surpassing the Ghost in the Shell saga.
A brief comparison...
Now this is not so much a review of the film mind you, but the manner in which it was released. I hope all you people over at Dreamworks/Universal are paying attention since that debacle that was your Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence DVD release, because this is how it's done...

>1. Basics to begin with, this DVD has GOOD cover art, using original works by the 3D artists who made the film in a very manga-esque way. The art on GITS 2 was bunk. Hand drawn, and badly at that, it gives no impression of the mastery of the CG work in the actual film.

<
>2. Seperate releases. Always nice to have the regular DVD and an extra special one with lots and lots of bonus content for those who want it.

>3. English.. Granted the majority of anime fans want the subtitled versions because in Japanese you can't tell if the voice acting is bad or not, so it sounds good by comparison to most english dubs. But, some people just don't want to read their movies andfor a big release like GITS 2 i think a dubbed version isn't too much to ask.. Good job appleseed, that's 3 points in a row for you.

>Let's all just hope that next time anime is left in the hands of professionals like Manga, ADV, and Geneon, and the major American studios can just keeps their hands off.
