Appleseed Manga
This is by Masamune Shiro, just like the GITS series. But strangely enough, while for GITS I totally bought the anime, and found the manga incoherent and weird, this manga totally blows the anime (even the new one) away.
Once you start reading it, the gaping flaws of the movie become apparent. So if you thought that the movie seems like a force action show, with tons of plotholes, this one will seem far more coherent. Of course the action in the movie was great, but there wasn't much point to most of it.
So if you're looking for something to read in the sci-fi department, check this one out.

I've only read the first two volumes, too, so if the second two become stupid, oh well, since I don't recommend you buy it, unless you really like, there's nothing lost.
I haven't seen the first applesee movie, but I've read the reviews on animenfo, and they don't say too many good things about it. The second movie is a visual treat, I just don't like that the animations are very computer-game like from time to time.

Hmm, mostly that does look the best. I don't mind an advance in technology, but they shouldn't overdo it, and also make sure it doesn't look like a computer game afterwards.
The animations are another point, specifically the martial arts moves displayed. Once you've got such smooth framerates and actually show the character doing kicks and punches, it should look real, not like jerky computer-animated shit. But seeing that even major movie producers don't realize that their martial arts animations look gay (Spider man, lol) I don't see any change in the trend right now.

The worst to me were the second and third matrix. I all the computer animated fights bothered the hell out of me, I was like is this a damn game, the Final Fantasy movie looked more real. But that movie was just amazing animationwise.Brainpiercing wrote:Hmm, mostly that does look the best.
