YesAsia Editorial Description

Based on an early manga by Masamume Shirow, also the author of GHOST IN THE SHELL, APPLESEED explores similar themes as Shirow's masterwork while still containing the action sequences audiences expect from his work. APPLESEED also uses 3D animation in a unique manner, combining a traditional cel animated look with fully rendered backgrounds and vehicles. The story concerns Deunan Knute, a woman warrior whisked away from the ruined battleground where she lives and fights to the distant city of Olympus, where mankind seems to have put its destructive past behind it. The utopia of Olympus is maintained by the Bioroids, artificial people whose emotional capabilities are diminished in order to balance the careening passions of regular human beings. But when the leader of the human army threatens the Bioroids, Deunan and her cyborg ex-lover find themselves in the center of a series of plots that threaten both the Bioroids and all of mankind. Shirow's strong science fiction plotting, unique use of computer generated imagery, and music by electronica artists such as Paul Oakenfold and Basement Jaxx all contribute to the Animé film APPLESEED.

"APPLESEED offers sci-fi, B-movie enjoyment and synthetic spectacle." - Andrew, Osmond (Sight and Sound Critic), Sight and Sound, 09/01/2005

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.
