Based on the manga by Masamune Shirow, the film follows former soldier Deunan Knute and her cyborg partner Briareos as they navigate the utopian city of Olympus, a place that looks perfect on the surface but hides plenty of political intrigue and social tension underneath.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhat makes \u003cem\u003eAppleseed\u003c\/em\u003e memorable is the way it balances big ideas with giant firefights and impressive futuristic hardware. One minute it's debating the future of humanity, the next it's unleashing towering machines, explosive action sequences and enough cyberpunk imagery to wallpaper a convention centre. The computer-generated animation was groundbreaking for its time and still gives the film a distinctive look. Ambitious, stylish and packed with sci-fi spectacle, \u003cem\u003eAppleseed\u003c\/em\u003e is a fascinating snapshot of early 2000s anime reaching for the future with both hands.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Rumorbooks","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43114454188109,"sku":null,"price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0551\/7882\/1709\/files\/IMG_0055_b6bfb8fd-9b6c-498b-b416-0a2fca4e8c43.jpg?v=1781771274","url":"https:\/\/rumorbooks.com\/products\/appleseed-special-edition-2-disc-set","provider":"Rumorbooks","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
