The genre of this anime was Science fiction and it is based of the graphic novel created by Shirow Masamune which created other series that were in the same genre. An example, of this would be the Ghost in The Shell series. The reason that there is a similarity between the two series is because there is a mention of replacing human body parts with cybernetics. A difference between those films is that in Ghost in The Shell talks about cybernetics to a greater extent and Appleseed explains about creating humans by a computer. Well back on to Appleseed the story is pretty calm with flashbacks of the main protagonist fighting in a global war. Those same flashbacks are used to tie the story together.
The only issue I had was with this film was the CGI. It is true that the CGI is a nice addition to the film but I felt that making this version of the film in 2D would do a better service. Although the drawing style is kept the same, to me the CGI slowed the character movement for the film.
Over all I think the anime Appleseed is a great anime to watch and it looks updated from seeing images that were created my the original manga artist. Although The CGI in the film could be easily replaced with a 2D style. The story is similar yet different to ghost in the shell. So in the end I would recommend this film to people who are fans of Shirow Masamune and science fiction anime. I would not recommend this film to people who are fans of CGI. The reason why I would suggest this anime to people who are fans of Shirow Masamune and science fiction anime is because this is an updated version of one of his works and remind people of his other works. The reason would not suggest to people who are great fans of CGI is because I think this film would of been better In 2D or a mixture. Well than I hope you readers enjoy this review and check out the film if your interested ^.^
I like the review. I think you need to work on a rating scale, and tell the readers why they should or should not watch it. This really is interesting though; a 3D CGI? XDDD I loved Ghost in the Shell. I think you should copy the plot from Wikipedia ;D
