Cool, rocket-pack equipped hardsuits... drool
Awe-insipiring mobile platform plowing through a city... major drool
New CG-intensive anime trend... vomit

I love Appleseed and will probably watch this, but I am severely disappointed
in the CG trend that is taking over anime like a disease. In my opinion, it
just cheapens it, dare I say, makes it look *Americanized*. ;-)

dude, how can you say that? anime is all about cutting-edge animation! the
japanese have always pushed the envelope with intriguing story lines and awesome
graphics. to use cg is just a natural step toward the evolution of the genre.
in fact, if you’ll notice, there’s a lot of cell-shading cg in that movie--the
best i’ve seen yet! so far, all cell-shading cg art has looked sub-par thus
far, but appleseed takes it to a whole new level. unlike squaresoft and the
final fantasy movie, it seems the animators in appleseed didn’t want their
characters to look too real, but rather, they wanted to use the same cutting
edge graphics technology while maintaining the classic “anime” look. i would
love to see an evangelion movie like this (btw, i already know about the one
already in “production”). i’d love to hear others comment about this.

| Okay, my $.02... Mladen: Agree, CG+anime=ugh, 99% of the time. See Blue Submarine No.6 or Vandread for good examples. On the other hand, there are anime like Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell that use CG very well. Jason: I think what Mladen's (...)

The Animatrix has an extremely informative look at what is involved in the anime tradition, and a lot of the uniquely distinctive characterstics are merely byproducts of the many budget-saving techniques that (...)
