Appleseed

    (WildStorm, 2005)
™ and © 2005 Shirow Masamune/Seishinsha & WildStorm, an imprint of DC Comics
Adapts movie.

In a world destroyed by war, skilled soldier Deunan Knute is called to the utopian society of Olympus. An advanced race known as bioroids lives alongside humans, keeping the city running with methodical, emotionless methods. However, not everyone approves of the bioroids, and the source of their life force is under siege. If Deunan and her allies can keep the attackers at bay long enough, a forgotten research project called Appleseed may provide a solution. Is Appleseed the key to humanity’s salvation—or its destruction? While the movie’s CGI images translate oddly to the page, this anime adaptation serves as a suitable complement to Masamune Shirow’s original manga series.
