YesAsia Editorial Description

The anime film based on the comic book Appleseed by Masamune Shiro, famed for creating Ghost In The Shell, is a huge hit in Japan. Set against the backdrop of a 22nd century world devastated by World War III, a new utopian world, Olympus, is founded by Biodroids, half human half machine creatures. Deunan, a fighter in the war, was rescued by citizens of this New World power, one of which is Briareos, her ex-lover. As she settles in this ideal and serene city, she begins to notice underlying tension between the humans and Biodroids. Humans in Olympus begin to suspect that Biodroids' plans might threaten the human race. A war is about to be waged between the two sides, as humans hope to destroy the super computer Gaia, the "brain" of Olympus. What will happen in this epic battle?

Eswatwrong...!?? Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
If you are reading this review from me I will tell you that I'm still jacket up from the quality of this anime in 3D almost everything is perfect only some background music is missing in the cantonese version thats all, so watch the cantonese version first to understand whats happening, and then enjoy the japanese version because the voice in ther is perfect match with the animation and you have the background music with it the begin and the ending are the créme de la créme...

What happened? Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
I bought this product because of the Cantonese version. I wasn't too happy with it because as soon as I start watching it, I notice something was missing. That something was the music to Appleseed. There was the Cantonese translation which was pretty well done. The sound effect is great, but there was no music to go with the movie in the Cantonese version. Without the music it just wasn't a good movie experience. There is nothing wrong with the movie. I gave it a 6 on the rating simply because of missing music in the Cantonese translation. I've tried watching it in the original Japanese language with Chinese subtitle but I don't understand all the words and can't read that fast in Chinese. Overall if you are looking for the Cantonese language, it is there, but without the music to go with, this product gets a six.

Although a normal story line with little power, its superb music and action sequence makes up for it. The animation was really well done nothing u have ever seen.
