Appleseed
Well, I watched the movies last night
The story was perfect, I don't think it couldn't have been any better. My only complaint was that the character animation was really out of place. To me. it was like watching a video game at times. But overall, I loved the movie.
What did you guy's think?

So did I. I also noticed that some time it looked like a scene from final fantasy when there weren't any characters on the screen. I liked it though.

I just finished my rental. I liked it. Some of my friends are confused by the plot and background. I've seen the original OAV and read some of the manga so I found myself filling in details for them. Shirow Masumune's work I always feel needs a TV series to get the story, not one shot movies or short lived OAV's.
I got the 2 disc collector's disc. The making of special feature is really cool to check out.
Animation was interesting but I still like watching 2D cell animation better.

My twin sister had bought the Appleseed Movie last tuesday. We watched it the next day. I thought it was so awesome. I loved it. I got the plot even though I have never seen the ova of it, but from a music video I have seen with the ova of Appleseed I say that the movie has better animation.
The 2D animation is really cool. I never thought that there were any movies like that but I guess so. I have seen stuff about the Appleseed Movie before it was released here, they had action figures and stuff at Suncoast when it wasn't released yet, which are cool, I would get the merchandise just because its anime. This is the coolest movie I have ever seen, I hope to see more movies from the director or whoever directed the movie so on. I would know if I actually had the dvd infront of me but I don't because I am in school right now in my Graphic Design 2 class so I don't know.

This is mainly because it's the same computer animation technique as used in that one.Malificus wrote:RedFusionX wrote:Well, I watched the movies last night

The only real difference between the two was the skinning of the character models -- using cel-shaded textures instead of the "real-skin" technique Square employed in their movies.
I actually like this relatively new animation style. Ever since the possiblities were opened with Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within and Final Flight of the Osiris, use of Motion-Captured CG has exploded in all sorts of projects, including the Lord of the Rings trilogy, the new animated Spider-Man show and the recent Dragonball Z Playstation games.
I hope that the animation companies continue to refine this technique and make it better than it is now.

I watched this with my brother and its the best Anime/Computer graphics mix ive ever seen. I think its up there with Final Fantasy Advent Children. Anyways the story was pretty good, the action was pretty damn good, it was pretty damn good.

I think it will certainly get the nod of best CG movie to date.
