  Pants
  
  I wish I'd paid attention to the other reviews for this film, it is amazingly bad. It's dull, cheesy, and completely pointless.

  Dated but easier to follow
  
  This is clearly inspired by 80's action films. That wouldn't bother so much if it wasn't for the awful amercian setting.

  looks like 70's anime
  
  It was nice to see an older anime but I did think that it left me wanting to watch the rest of the Appleseed saga.

  Pick it for the storyline not the animation.
  
  The storyline was good, but it has some niggling cliché phrases, like "it may be our only hope".
  
  Don't pick ‘Appleseed’... read more »

  Reasonable action ...
  
  Reasonable action cartoon. Why only 2 stars? The story line was totally confusing. The dvd left me with more questions than answers.
