brilliant actors, brilliant editing

This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.

The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

.Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.

A good anime and faithful (loyal, adequate) to the manga.This animate movie, from the manga of Masamume Shirow "Appleseed", remains faithful. It includes the design, the characters and theirs characters, the tone and his comic, and one of the major story lines of the world of "Appleseed" are developed . Namely, through the city Olympus, the new world created for humans after the major global conflicts and their management by broods race created to manage and keep safe the humans. This "golden cage", as it's call in the animate movie, poses ethical problems through governance for the human world by non-human entities.We can be a little unfortunate (disappointed) that the introduction out of the Olympus from the manga, is deliberately set aside to penetrate directly into the film's plot and probably to be consistent with the desired duration. But this shelving (lack) is recovered by a sequence in the film where the role (part) of Hitomi is explained about it.The action, intrigue and pace (rhythm) of the film is very consistent. It's a very satisfactory achievement for this time and probably his budget.The soundtrack is unobtrusive (discrete) but perfectly accompanies the action. A good and faithful manga.The film is short (a little bit more than 1H) with a very good "rythm".

Masamune Shirow's best-selling manga is packed with political, ecological, technical, and literary references and subtexts, but it's also an enjoyable science-fiction adventure. Although this version was made on a limited budget, and is showing its age, it's still worth its shelf space. Gainax, whose artistic success with Royal Space Force: The Wings Of Honneamise (1987) the year before had established their reputation for excellence, made the video adaptation, although the quirky design touches they brought to their own film are absent in Appleseed. Olympus is 1980s Japan with robots, which nicely highlights many of the concerns Shirow is expressing. References to US shows and the classic science-fiction film Blade Runner (1982) are easy to spot.

This movie is (unintentionally) hilarious.There is more swearing than any other genre of movie I know (including Tarantino and Sam Kinnison concerts.)The 80's genre is crippling in its obviousness. It's all here: shoulder pads, jazzercize, and women with really big hair.Think of it as a cyberpunk NC-17 version of the original 80's Transformers TV show. The archetypes are ham-fisted and the character relationships are nebulous at best, farcical at worst. And the dialogue is on the nose the way a really angry 14 yo would write it. Appleseed (1988) So bad...it's good. May want to watch under the influence of something, however...In closing I leave you with this pearl excerpted from the scene where the villain is slain:BAD GUY: "What the f.ing hell?! Christ...The f.ing c..cksucker!" (move over Shakespeare... move the f.ck over!)

***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
