Well actually, due to some copyright issues, I heard Genesis isn't being made anymore. =(

Oh fuck me.... the 2nd movie wasn't terrible enough? Product Placement and Flying Landmate battles killed it for me.

Masamune sensei needs to stop drawing porn and get back to work on some thing decent or at least get control of his IP's I'm sick of them being whored out.

I wonder..

I don't see this in the lineup for next season. Though its still not the final lineup but it doesn't show traces of Appleseed.

Has this been delayed to next year?

I wonder how it will compare to Ex Machina in the visual department.

I'd like to think it be about the same, infact i wouldnt be at all surprised if it was exactly the same!

but the difference between the two recent appleseeds, the difference between those two was quite astonishing (in a good way ^^)
