This movie was great. It had some awesome action, a good story, and mind blowing CG. I highly recommend it to everyone here. The art direction for this movie was top notch. Truly a unique look, half anime half CG. Go buy it or rent it right now it's well worth it. To the people that are not into the whole anime thing, just try this movie out you might like it. I think it's vary western friendly and would have done well in theaters IMO.


Has anyone else seen it? What did you think of it?

Good stuff. I'm a fan of Shirow Masamune's work. He does really cool mech designs -- off the wall looking stuff. He's the guy behind Ghost in the Shell.

The Ghost in the Shell OVA series has been mixing 2D and 3D for a while now as well, and usually they get Yoko Kano to do the sound track so the music tends to be pretty cool as well. Don't see her listed in the credits this time though.

I think it was the first one I saw about 14 years agon and loved it. I just happened to stop by the neighborhood video store today and was suprised to see the new one on the new release wall (of course it was checked out). Oh well, I can just go buy a copy tommorrow.

Stand Alone Complex is great. I only wished they would have done a third series. Can the soundtracks with Yoko Kano on them still be found in the States? I can't find them here unless I want pirate junk.

i didn't really like the original Appleseed anime but i got the newer one (the 2004 3d one) a month ago and thought it was great. The story was better than the older one and made a lot more sense and it looked brilliant. I'll probably get 'ex-mechanica' when it comes out over here.

@Tigrestripe:

I just did a quick search and it looks like Amazon has all of the soundtracks. :)
