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, ...

+ Appleseed: Futuristic CGI - Good Action, Drama, and Story
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 ...

Don't listen to naysayers
+ Aestheticly unique.
+ All by itself...
This is my favorite film of all time, so I was wondering what people who gave it one star would have to say. The two most prominent complaints were an outdated style of animation and overdone storyline. There is a simple and reasonable explanation. This is based of elements from Metropolis by Fritz ...
