If you loved Appleseed Alpha, try Appleseed
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Shinji Aramaki, and they sit in Action / Animation / Science Fiction territory. If that's the register that drew you to Appleseed Alpha, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Appleseed is
You're a soldier, repurposed for a perfect city after the wars. But you notice the cracks in its gleaming surface. What is hidden from view? Aramaki's visual grammar borrows from Shirow's manga while setting its own pace. The film lingers.
