| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Damn it was good. (have'nt watched the original Altered carbon series) The animation was to way too good. wish it could have been longer. |

| It didn't look too bad and I like the setting, however it feels quite inconsistent with the series and the plot wasn't all that interesting in my opinion. |
| Just watched this on NETFLIX because i just saw the trailer after watching the movie Sicario...then the movie it self was a bit edgy, and a bit too much YAKUZA with a mash of futuristic digital consciousness. But the actions scenes were badass! plot is...meh... 7/10. - feels like POLYGON CGI. |

| That was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |
| I've o ly recently watched the original two live action seasons of altered carbon. When they released a trailer I was pretty amazed that they would take this route especially with the people behind GITS. Though I do have one big remark and that is that this felth and looked like a very long yet impressive intro scene for a game. The CGI was than also very game like rather than anime like. Which didn't make it bad. Jt also not great either. In general I liked this short but quite intense movie based on the live action series and would realy like a game in these or even more realistic neotoky like environment. This universe is so vast that you pretty much can go any direction with. All in all a nice watch I must say, and I hope they continue to expand in whatever media form they can take this universe and characters |

| The animation was certainly impressive, and I found it a very enjoyable watch overall. But as a huge fan of the live action TV series, I have a few questions for anyone else who knows the story well WARNING: Major spoilers for the live action TV show to follow: |
| Wow, one of the best animation movies I've ever seen! I haven't seen the live action tv series so I prepared by watching these 2 summaries of s1 and s2: https://youtu.be/gxdQyM-5lv4 https://youtu.be/A-YHrdVxgsI Great stuff. While watching this I probably had a total of over 20 eyegasms when there were shots of the cyberpunk city or the futuristic environment. Props to the art team. And the animation team. The fights were insane! It was literally an experience for me. So good! Now for the story, If I had to judge it overall it wasn't that great. But it was barely 1 hour of screentime so I guess for that time it's decent. It would've been nice if the locations were a bit more diverse rather than just that yakuza headquarters building. That was a nice(?) concluding ending. I do reaaally feel bad for Holly though. She's had it rough especially there at the end. Her long lost parents finally in front of her again and boom gone with a grim of a devil... I felt her emotions. But that Shinji guy got karma'd and all is well now. Ogai is a boss and your best friend. What an awesome dude. Now apparently there are more missions queued for him so it's not the real end. And seeing as the number of episodes are still unknown here on the MAL database, there's more to come!? |

| What an absolute fucking disservice to the incredible books. I am sick to my stomach at this monstrosity of a show. For shame netflix, for shame. |

Nothing important. Keep scrolling. |
| What a disgrace to the live action tv series. Visuals and fight scenes are okay, but the story and characters are just dull. A cliché story with no character development... this feels more like a (bad) filler episode. Rating: 3/10 Info: It is a prequel to the live action tv series. |

| Seems like the most fans of the book are shitting on anything related to Netflix series. When will people learn to accept that adaptations will never be like the books and enjoy as what it is? To be honest, this is one of the best 3d animations I've seen to date, and I usually dislike this sort of thing. The choreography and the camera angles of the fights deserve an award. The overall story is nice but it fails to connect you and feel for the characters. Maybe if it was a series and had more time to show more interactions between Holly and Tak they wouldn't feel like a one night meet. In any case, it was a fun watch, mostly for the visuals and fights. I would not mind to see more Altered Carbon anime stories in the future though. |

By that logic, Netflix productions such as Da 5 Bloods or Klaus despite having big budgets and are essentially theatrical releases, are TV movies. I think it'd be a good idea to classify Altered Carbon Resleeved as a movie for some consistency... oh wait, consistency and MAL don't mix together. |

There's a large difference between 'essentially' a theater release, and a literal theater release that was rescheduled to be online only at the last minute. You've also got the consistency argument backward: The classification for this entry is fine while the classification for Nakitai Watashi wa Neko wo Kaburu is what needs to be updated. |
| im an anime only and this is very good story so sleeves are replacement body parts for the digital mind eh not bad and ye mind uploading might be the future too but they do not have cloud storage for backup of their digital minds though? lol anyway i enjoyed this for a short film the action is great too |
| Bro what? 6.65? Are you kidding me? This is probably the best CGI movie I've seen coming out of Japan (haven't watched the Gantz movie). It's moves so damn well. It's clean. As for the story, it is so much better than the original mid series. F*cking finally we get some cyberpunk sh*t that wasn't already beaten to death or doesn't sh*t itself midway through. Need a sequel ASAP! 8/10 |

Guess you haven't seen Gantz:0 or Batman Ninja either. Regardless, the animation quality is not an issue (and I haven't seen anyone claim it was). The issue is literally everything else: - Art direction / character design - Character behavior - Plot developments - General theme - Ninjas None of it rises above average at best. The solid animation is the only thing that theoretically makes this movie worth anyone's time to watch. |

I think the movie looks great from beginning to end. Have you seen the original series? Season 1 of Altered Carbon on Netflix, I mean. |
tzarye14 said: I said I haven't seen the Gantz movie lmao. You're right. I somehow misread that as BLAME!. No, I have no idea how that happened. tzarye14 said: Have you seen the original series? Season 1 of Altered Carbon on Netflix, I mean. Yes, both seasons. Season 1 is fantastic, season 2 is... very strange and very different from season 1. Neither is anything like this. |
| Haven't seen the live action series but this seems pretty cool with some good cgi, really gives me Blade runner and Ghost in the shell vibes. Plot wasn't really outstanding but still decent. Futuristic world (with topless giant hologram strippers dancing in public ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)), digitalized backup of people, ninjas with cybernetic suits, Yakuza, family issues, hologram butler with an insane defence system and heck even firework, what more can you ask of a good movie. |
 |
| The fighting scenes were marvelous and so were the visual effects! I also couldn't resist to imagine what if the future could attain "sleeves" like that. I'm always open to possibilities no matter how outrageous it is as long as it involves science and not myth. 🤣 |
 She got him back. If you understand the characters well enough, you'd know she did! |
| Obviously the animation isn't that good, but the story wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be either. Mainly watched it since I saw it was related to Altered Carbon and on Netflix. |
 |
| As an idea it is quite interesting, as a film it is very simple with a loose and quite predictable plot. If it had been developed more and there had been a deeper plot it would have been more attractive, since the mix of genres, action, blood, yakuza, cyberpunk, future... are always very striking. The plot of the two brothers who meet again was unnecessary, but it raises a good idea, people who are family members cannot be recognized, just as a body is not a reference to be able to see the years you have lived. Where is the catch of this new society? Another error in the plot, we have to put black points on technology. 5/10 kekeke |
