STORY.
Olympus is a very advanced city whos day to day business is run by a supercomputer called Gaia. Like any other city there is crime here but in order to deal with these threats a elite police unit excists called ESWAT. Then a famous terrorist sets his sights on Olympus and he tries to finish what he started years before. His target is the computer that runs the city but facing him are two officers of ESWAT. Will they be succesful in stoping Sebastian and save the city?
CHRACTERS.
Deunan. She is a member of ESWAT and a expert on counter terrorism. She is rather violent, doesn't have a sweet personality and is very persistend,
Briareos. He is Deunan's partner. After 'surviving' a assassination attempt his body is almost completely mechanical.
ESWAT. Extra Special Weapons And Tactics. A elite unit of officers who are tasked with protecting the city of Olympus.
Gaia. The supercomputer that runs the day to day live of the city.
Sebastian. A terrorist that is trying to hack into Gaia's systems for his own goals. He always seems to be one step ahead of ESWAT.
ART & MUSIC.
Both the art (4/5) and music (4/5) are excellent. This is the original OVA movie and is hand drawn instead of CGI.
VOICE ACTING
The Japanese acting is great as usual (5/5). I didn't watch the English dub so i don't know how good or bad it was.
Personal note. For those who wonder, this is the original Appleseed. There is a new series out that is made in CGI but i don't have it. If you have read my review about Urda you may understand why i'm not exactly eager to get it either. Back to this though. Pretty standard anime, it isn't anything special and there a lot like it. For fans of the genre it may be interesting but otherwise......
If you have any questions please let me know. Also tips and comments about how i can make this sort of blog better are more than welcome.
