Saw the CGI manga film ‘Appleseed’ last night and it did verily rock. It’s a remake (of sorts) of a previous film of the same name, which was a bit of a let down after reading the comic book. This one delivers in spades, with hulking cyborgs, battle suits, 2142(ish) machine guns and lots of action. Also a fairly coherent plot, which is often a rarity for those crazy Jap animators.
The animation itself is cell shaded, which might not be to everyone’s taste, but I thought looked pretty good.
Great anime, but only worth a look if you really like that sort of thing.
I thought the first was kool too .. but the remake was the shit 😀
Gutted, I lost me original disc.. Still got the box though, which is kool I reckon its mixed up with the discs from My ex’s Friends boxset! 🙁
I cant wait for they day they release Fist Of The North Star on DVD.. best Anime ever.. loved it… and Urotsuki doji is a fab film also.. lots of monsters, porn and blood!
I suggest Ninja Scroll If you’ve not seen it too Mr Neon
Seen ’em all you crazy Mancurian you.
Fist of the North Star does indeed kick ass, as does Ninja Scroll. Urotsuki doji I think though is a required taste. I personally prefer the TV shows since they tend to be a little more succinct.
Cowboy Beebop, Samurai Champloo, Evangelion, Full Metal Alchemist and Ghost in the Shell are some of my faves.
Wasn’t Fist Of The North Star on C4 ages back? I swear I remember watching a few episodes at some crazy-ass time-o-the morn? If it’s the one I’m thinking of it was really good.
pwobably
I wasnt impressed with GITS.. hehe but Talk to me about The Guyver.. not only is he Kick ass.. but he also sounds Like McGuyver! Sweeet!
Anime Rules.. I’m a big fan of DBZ too 🙂
im at episode 6 of samurai champloo – most excellent. Gone a bit weird with gay dutch guy appearing mind 🙂
The site I stream them from has also changed from the duvbbed versions (which where done very well) to crappy white subtitles which are hard to read…. not happy 🙁

Yep. And i have got it 🙂 I seen it when i was about 14 first time. Then i feel upon it in a video store. Had to get it.
Was my first and only to date manga purchase.
I wanted to name my daughter akira but the misses was having none of it, bitch.
I cant believe my random picture was completely ignored!
Can anyone make it in to an avatar for me?
Pwetty pwease!?
Oooo but give the man a Turkey head and carrying a light saber!
Vonsmall made me my current avatar about 5 years ago now!
Appleseed 2004 was very nice – I watched it around Christmas I think…
Urotsukidoji was not that good… I haven’t watched it since 2002… but it was kinda funny that the god guy was a pervert.
Fist of the North Star is OK but nothing special – it is pretty funny when he screams launching his thousand hand slap attack but despite the action it’s pretty slow going.
The Guyver is 1 of my faves though 😛 I bought all 12 VHS and the OVA, also imported the OVA soundtrack and a nice 12″ Max Factory model for my room. There has been a much more recent series (2004 too I think) which follows MUCH closer to the original comic storyline and has a lot more episodes as well as Guyver Gigantic 😀
Also Final Fantasy fans (as y’all PC bods it won’t be many) Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children carries on from 1 of the best games in the world… it’s an ok film and redoes some of the original score but as with a lot of ‘deep and meaningful/japanese’ stuff it can get a bit boring in places.
The only shite thign I have is I have VHS for most Manga anime under the sun, except my VCR is goosed 😛 I have downloaded ‘baclups’ of the VHS I do own though 🙄
