I recently
watched the three Appleseed films.
Appleseed
(ova 1988): Your basic cliché
80's Tasic Anime Cyberpunk anime.
Appleseed
(2004): A film that pioneered the use of Computer Generated 3d
imagery....so its rather cringe-worthy visually. The plot and
characters also make no sense.
Appleseed:
Ex Machina (2007): The best of the three. Uses 3d graphics again, but
it looks good thing time round! Also its just generally better
written. If your going to watch one, it should be this one.
Yeah, well,
yeah...one line reviews aside, after watching those films I dug out
an old miniature of the main characters that I must have had for 5 or
6 years now. I got it from Ground Zero Games at the Salute wargames
show the first time I went.
The
miniature painted up really nicely. Sorry about the crap photos. Not
sure what went wrong there....but believe it or not the model looks
all right in person!
I'm going
to stat the pair up for Necromunda at some point. I think I can slide
them into my home-brewed 'mash-up' Post-Apocaliptic setting, probably
as Enclave officers.
The anime
super-girl Deunan Knute, atop the shoulder of her giant rabbit-cyborg
lover Briareos Hecatonchires.
MM.
Nice work on this duo. I can't recall if I've seen these movies or not I will have to check them out.
