This was quite an enjoyable ova/movie, really enjoyed the old drawing and animation style and the best surprise was that one of the characters was voiced by Wakamoto Norio!

In general a quite lovely anime ova and I wonder what the remake has to offer! 6/10

Well... you can tell it's an 80's anime. So much 80's music, lol.

This anime contains a very important lesson: RTFM!
Seriously, they were looking through paper manuals to figure out how the city super computer worked!

I still say this is the best of the older 80's and 90's OVAs. Miles better than Violence Jack and Genocyber. The story made a lot more sense and wrapped up neater than the likes of Black Magic M-66, which was pathetic. It was also directed by Masamune Shirow himself, but Appleseed is superior.

Not bad, basically an hour long ghost in the shell episode made in the 80s. The ending felt a bit rushed, it wasn't very satisfying the way the big bad guy went down.

Fun little, retro 80s anime that I like! Great music, animation, and characters. 7/10.

It's a happy ending because the society designed by machines, largely for machines, continues as the status quo? Or because Hitomi, the replaceable DNA key, survived? If Sebastian wasn't portrayed as an uber-evil terrorist, this would have seemed like an unfortunate conclusion. Still makes me feel uneasy about its resolution.

Calon did nothing wrong.

It's so jarring to see Brialeos doing humans things like, eat, and wear clothes.

Novels I have read/am reading pending approval: since November 10 2022

The mech designs have this cute roundness that was really fun to see in action. So it sucks that Deunan and Sebastian each have mechs and power armor respectively, yet there isn't a one-on-one showdown. They opt for running around hallways to shutdown a gigantic tank. As someone else stated above, it made for an unsatisfying end.
