Decent action. That's all.

Nothing compared to the OVA/Movies though.

this. it could have been better if it is done in traditional animation like GitS.

I myself cant watch this cgi stuff. Gits is the first show I thought of that it could/should have been like.

This truly is an original Appleseed manga dedicated adaptation, so anyone who is an Appleseed fan from the movies will surely be shocked and anyone who has never read/seen the original Appleseed manga/OVAs/movies will be disappointed.

Late reply, but as someone who remembers the manga better than the movies, I'll agree. The animation does a good job of capturing the "souless" sterile nature of Gaia, though I find it awkward. The stories are new to the Appleseed manga, and do have plotholes. I also think in the first ep they should have re-established how, while Deunen isn't used to how procedural ESWAT and the police are, she's otherwise a *much* better combatant, with several years of survival in the post-apocalyptic "outside" world.

I think it is not necessary to say more, everything I thought already said it.
dropped.

The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list.
The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story.

"Dunin(?) was of African descent..." [pan to a blonde, alabaster-skinned, green-eyed chick...]

LMAAOOooo. OK, not trying to go full SJW, but either make the "African" chick *not* look like the whitest person possible, or just drop the "African" angle altogether, ffs (and yes, I know Afrikaaners and Boors exist, but we all know what "African" means, and that ain't it lol)

tbh some of the mechanical design was cool, but the characters are fucking terrible. That said, it kinda looks like it has some "so bad it's good" appeal, and it's only one cour, also am a sucker for anything with that 90s "cyberpunk" feel, or anything Masamune-related, so I'll ride it out.

tl;dr- looks terrible, but also kinda fun

Dropped. This show isn't honestly worth anytime if the series continues like this. Writing, animation, pacing, all bad.

I'm not a big fan of the series but the movies/ovas were enjoyable so this feels alright, unimpressive CGI aside. Deia looks alright but the other woman are woofs and Deunan looks like a disproportionate Barbie doll.
