Great schlock-party film - a TON of laughs
If you have a taste at all for cult off the wall films, I think tihs movie ranks as a must see. I saw the trailer a few months before it was released and I couldn't wait until I oculd get a copy of this movie. To celebrate the occasion I got a group of people from work to watch together. A good time was had by all, as most people can not help themselves but laugh at the action sequences in ...

Only worth it for the last 3 short stories
I saw this feature on Cartoon Network and while I felt it had potential, it didn't live up to it. It didn't totally suck but definitely not as good as it could've been. I didn't mind that it was in anime as I am a fan of that style of animation but the first story definitely sucked! The stories progressively got better as the feature went on with the final story called "Deadshot" being the ...

Love and Betrayal, Discrimination and Rebellion
I've now seen this series three times, once online and the other two after I ordered this collection. This anime is very good, despite the very apparent blood and nudity. If you can see past that (and you should), there's a very beautiful underlying story. However, it does seem that this anime is one of those "you like it, or you don't" things. The product itself is very good, although a bit ...

Thought provoking and visually stunning
I am reviewing the DVD version. The story is light, but metaphysically deep. Its about cosmology and what defines "self." The animation is top notch and blends seamlessly with CG. The surround sound audio mix is is one of the best you'll ever hear because it is totally immersive.

Horror the way it oughtta be
I've loved horror films since I was 5 (that's going on 50 years now), and this film has the cold-fingers-grabbing-your-gut effect that is sadly missing from so many contemporary horror films. And I'm not talking about torture or sadism; though our villains are not very nice people, this film does not engage in the pleasure-in-cruelty that makes certain films (like Audition) unwatchable to me. ...

Princess Mononoke
Everyone should be able to view Hayao Miyazaki animation. This film is no exception. You must see these films more than once. Put the setup in Japanese and English subtitles to get a better effect. Watch the films once for the story and then for the background animation. Superb!!!! I can't wait for Studio Ghibli's next film to come to the U.S.. It is currently showing in Japan.

I am not too much of an anime guy, but I don't hate it either. Every now and then I like me some bug-eyed girls in mini skirts swinging giant swords and piloting giant robots. However, there are a couple of directors working in the medium that are giants in the Japanese film industry, who could proudly stand side-by-side with Kurosawa Akira, Ozu Yasujiro and Mizoguchi Kenji. Miyazaki Hayao is ...

Visual eye candy
I recently discovered the Appleseed movies a month ago. I had seen the film VEXILLE which was made by the same person who did the 2nd and 3rd Appleseed films. After I was blown away by the mix of hand drawn animation and CGI, I knew I had to check out his other film work. I was even more blown away by APPLESEED and APPLESEED EX MACHINA. It is 2131, there is one city left remaining on Earth ...

Dreamworks Video, 2004

Not as good as the first.
The thing that bothered me the most about this movie is the PG-13 rating, which you can tell in the movie they strived for. No gore at all! Not that gore is the number one factor in an anime, but it feels like a more kid friendly version of the first movie. Also, with Studio Ghibli being involved, I thought the animation would be better.

A better anime than most of these reviews lead on to be.
I see a lot of complaints that the storyline isn't very original, saying that the nature and humans living side by side or battling eachother storyline has been done to death. They're right... BUT a lot of movies and anime have used this premise and not gotten the backlash Origina has. Nausicaa is the first anime I know of that had this storyline, and many animes followed suit, including even ...

Superb animation and plot - very impressive movie
There is a lot of goodness to say about this movie and very little drawback. Let's start with the one thing that I didn't fully like then move on to the good stuff. Vexille Soundtrack The soundtrack, done by Paul Oakenfold was really good - but a little to hardcore in some of the action/fight scenes. We had to keep turning the volume down during those parts then turn it back up for dialogue. ...
