Appleseed (Limited Collector's Edition with Metal Case & Action Figure)

Date undefined

This is the 2004 Appleseed film directed by Shinji Aramaki, which incorporates some characters from Shirow's Appleseed manga series from 1985. However, the storyline for the film is not connected to the manga.

The main disc in this pressing includes six extras. There is a "Director & Producer Commentary" version of the film. "Music Cues with Scenes" allows you to choose one of the songs that appears in the film, and see the scene that it was used in; you can also see a biography of the artist behind the music. "Staff Profiles" are text writeups for the major staff (producer, director, etc.) There is a commercial for the Appleseed soundtrack, previews of some of Geneon Entertainment's other DVD releases, and the DVD credits.

This limited edition DVD pressing comes with a bonus disc. There is a thirty-six minute documentary called "Birth of 3D Live Anime," which talks about how the Appleseed manga was brought to life with a 3D film. The "Design Archives" credits each person who worked on the various designs. There is an image gallery of characters and mecha. "Appleseed info" includes Appleseed keywords (which is basically a glossary), character profiles, and mecha info. You can also see the music video for Boom Boom Satellites' "Dive for You," two Japanese theatrical trailers and one U.S. theatrical trailer for the film, and a DVD-ROM link for an Appleseed game sneak preview.

I thought Appleseed was an interesting film. The computer animation is done so well, there were times when I thought I was actually watching a live-action film. This is also a well-written story, which combines plenty of action and fighting with character development. By the end of the film, I felt for these characters, and was rooting for Deunan to succeed.

If you want to purchase Appleseed on DVD, I would definitely recommend the limited edition pressing (if you can track it down).

There are some very nice CGI backgrounds in this movie and the mechanical visuals are good too, but the human character designs are very bland and uninspired. Perhaps this kind of high tech backgrounds and lazy character design are the future of modern anime? This would make it much like Vexille, although Vexille's character design's are a little better - although I don't like Vexille's use of the lazy man's form of anime, ie: paint over motion capture with pastel-like human faces. The story here is nothing special.

At first glance, one sees a movie with Japanese manga style animation combined with advanced CGI graphics; lot of action scenes. But taking another look, and one sees the development of a pretty decent story line. In terms plot, the story is done well in attaching emotion to the story of the main antagonist (Deunan, a butt-kicking heroine). It shows her development as she fights a nameless (and objective-free) battle and then finds reasoning to continue to fight (for humanity, for her mother, and for her lover). The movie serves a means of developing the identities and the backgrounds of the characters as they appear in the sequel Appleseed:Ex Machina. if you liked this, then you definitely will love Appleseed: Ex Machina as it is packed with even more action, better graphics, and a more believable/realistic story.
