Synopsis:
Following the highly successful anime feature "Appleseed," heroine Deunan and her lover/partner Briareos -- who was forced to become a cyborg after sustaining injuries as a soldier in World War III -- continue their struggle to maintain peace in the utopian city-nation of Olympus. However, the arrival of a new "bioroid," Tereus, causes some tension between the two, since Tereus was created using Briareos' DNA and inherited some of Briareos' personality, including his affection for Deunan. But Duenan must overcome this distraction and focus on defending Olympus from attacks by cyborg terrorists if she wants any chance of saving mankind from having to live under tyrannical cyborg rule. Produced by John Woo "Hard-Boiled," "Mission Impossible 2") and directed by anime master Shinji Aramaki ("Appleseed," "Bubblegum Crisis").

I think Anime must have peaked with GITS and Akira. :( I was REALLY hoping a new remake of what was pretty good original material was going to be awesome! But alas, the script still feels like it was written in the 80's, maybe it's a cultural thing, maybe it's the english translations? Or maybe this was just written for 12 year olds and I'm being to hard on it??? At any rate it was cool, but I was hoping for more. Maybe it's because it used to be that Anime could do sci-fi better than than live action. But now that the movie effects caught up it just doesn't have the impact? I'm not sure, but even GITS 2 and 3 were dissapointing...
