… technically astounding …
The action scenes might grab you, but there's a lot of talky downtime.
… its busy, stiff, artificial graphics are a perfect match for its busy, stiff, artificial plot.
Set your brain to "off" for maximum enjoyment.
Just got back from the theather! 😄
I liked it! Not what I was expecting, but I was satisfied. The animation and the CGI looked good. The action was non-stop and the storyline pretty good. I'll post a full review soon. Rigth now I'm tired...
But I do suggest it! Is worth seen it. I'll admit that Deunan is the best looking anime girl I've ever seen. Very cute and quite lovely. By the way is rated R.
Be back later with a full review.
Ghost in the shell 2 was in certain select theathers. I don't think it was fully release nation wide.
My review:
Appleseed takes place sometime in the future after a Global War. Nearly all humans are wipe out except for a certain few that survive. In order to keep humanity scientist create Bioroids and they build a Utopian like society and build a great city away from the battle fields of the global war. In charge of Utiopia are a lady by the name of Athena and 7 old men floating around in a chair.
Without posting spoilers let me cut throught the storyline.....The 7 old men and Athena decide to bring into their world a soldier by the name of Deunan (which as I mention earlier she is one of the best looking girls in anime I've ever seen). She meets Heitomei (sp?) and she introduces her to the world. Then she is reunited with an old war friend (who happens to be a former lover) that has been turn into a huge robot fighter.
Near the end there are the usual twists you'll find in all animes. And the bad guys are trully revealed. The story is very neat and you get a kinda of beauty and the beast story with Deunan and her big robot friend. The dubbing isn't so bad, but I prefer the original japanese dialogue. Animation looks terrific! Specially with the robots and the fights. The only thing that kinda bother me was the hair. Look like they were wearing helmets or something else. Is defenetly worth checking it out. Go see it! Don't wait for the DVD to come out this one you gotta see it at the theater!
I usually don't rate Anime but I were to rate it....I would give it a
5 out of 5.
Go see Appleseed and enjoy! 🙂
