appleseed

Hiroko and I went with Roland and Anthea to see Appleseed. We originally wanted to see Innocence but it stopped playing the night before. But it doesn't matter: Appleseed was excellent! I've never read the manga so I didn't know the story, but it was a pretty cool plot, excellent battle and fighting scenes, and really amazing animation. The backround scenery is so realistic and 3-D, but the characters are definitely anime, though not flat. Really cool camera work, too, adding lots of depth and it's just great to watch. Also need the soundtrack, as there's some ripping tracks from BoomBoomSatellites and Paul Oakenfold.
