This was a decent anime adaption of Masamune Shirow's manga but is boringly stretched out for too long. If you have seen this, then i don't have to explain the story. The Manga UK English dub is filled with colorful profanity scattered throughout the movie which can make sense giving the theme of the story. The music is catchy with the ending them song being sung by Risa Yuuki.I found the character designs to be quite nice which were drawn by Yumiko Horasawa, and have a good 'warrior' feel to them (for 1988 they were good).This is a anime film you are going to want to rent instead of buy because I found it somewhat boring and not really any good.I give Appleseed a 5/10.

***SPOILERS***SPOILERS***SPOILERS***Appurushido is based on a Manga in which I have'nt read yet. The animation in this Anime is beautiful it is a great story with great action and has its fair share of humour my favourite scene is definitely when the cops bust into the apartment to bust some thugs its great stuff. The only downside to this anime is that it didn't run any longer, it should've lasted at least 90 minutes but aside from that its a great piece of film and anime buffs will love it. Sadly though I saw it on video and didn't get to experience the new special edition DVD of it. But I've been meaning to buy itAdam's Rating - 8/10

Nothing special to see here, the animation has being outdated and the plot is a typical futuristic era. This film has an original story, but if it doesn't have an original plot or characters, so in my opinion it's not worth seeing. I'm not saying that the movie was bad, it was just a typical anime story and I thought I watched this movie like a thousand times. So if you are looking for something original see another thing.

Being an avid reader of manga and very interested in the fascinating genre that is animé, I have always enjoyed the work of the masterful Shirow Masamune. The original manga behind this movie is far more complex and a lot of the suspense has been left out during its transition to animation, but a lot of the character interaction and stylish action remains.Very accessible for all viewers with really great backgrounds and scenery throughout the movie, not as spectacular as e.g. 'Ghost in the Shell', but definately pleasing to the eye.
