Anime Abandon: Appleseed

I wish I had a hundred hands, too; so I can give this anime 72 thumbs down. See more anime goodness at www.benthesage....

[@Solqueen86]

He wears clothes just like how those in Ghost in the shell with cybernetic and full cyber bodies still eat They don't need to eat but they choose to eat. The new kind of food that is made for them mimic normal foods is tasteless but it still helps keep the memories of what it is to be human. Just like how his clothes may make him look dorky but it makes him feel like he is still human or free will and not some mindless machine....Show some pity for the poor guy Sage

[@cheezeofages]

I do enjoy the character concepts of Deunan and Briareos. Two damaged war vets that are unshakably bound by their deep feelings for one another with a long history behind them that we don't see. Briareos bothered by his status as a cyborg and trying to live as human as he can, but Deunan not really being bothered at all but sometimes showing hints of being deeply afraid of losing him again. Deunan being spunky but also serious. At a core level they are very compelling, albeit held back sometimes by some executions of those ideas over the years.

[@cpuuk]

The 2004 remake did a better job of explaining the back story to Deunan and Briareos.

[@angelabeyer2497]

Briareos was human at one point, so he probably feels more comfortable when clothed. Also, I am a girl and love Appleseed. Deunan is so badass!

[@miguelvalentine9776]

exactly!! like ex humans will try to just do things they did in their life i think like wear cloths.

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

You forgot one thing. Olympus was built by Bioroids, which are genetically created and programed humans. Then we have the humans and the cyborgs, which are wounded humans which are keep alive by robotics. This, there are two type of beings in this world. Humans, and the controllers of Olympus, Bioroids.

[@stanleyteriaca2184]

Hairspray is a Bioroid also. Which means she is not exactly human. That is why she can still hear after having a pistol fired near her ear. Which is my BS reasoning. I want this DVD.

[@dramspringfeald]

The Bullshit excuse is Bioroids are 4 to 8 times stronger and resilient than humans. Their "Fleshy parts" are top gear high end Genetics complete with mostly illegal editing, The rest of them, Bones and "important parts" are 100% badass sauce

[@NeoDragonCount]

So let me get this straight: Olympus has no unemployment, free healthcare, a literal embodiment of a welfare state where you can lead a safe and happy life without fear of impoverishment and being guaranteed security, and people hate it? I'm pretty certain all the people in the world who live on the streets, go hungry, have no access to medicine and are in constant fear of being killed would disagree with the view of that being the ideal way of life.

[@TheRezro]

Hipsters, psychos and idiots would always exist.. I understand why people could be disappointed by success but acting like nut isn't solution for anything. In end that motive end totally pretentious.

[@christopherchurch6022]

Welfare states never last, if the anime were to bring attention to that it might have an argument. But it doesn't, and it looks dumb.

[@stevenbrawley326]

+Afriend ofyours Can you back up your statement?

[@christopherchurch6022]

Soviet Union, Canada's shitty hospital system, and Greece going bankrupt.

[@stevenbrawley326]

Only the Soviets would call their Union a welfare state.

[@dramspringfeald]

The only issue I have is you keep keep forgetting Briareos Isn't a robot, he's a human in a prosthetic body. If I remember it's brought up a few times in the show or at least the manga, Tv shows, and ALL the AU Movies...

[@tomtinker8220]

shouldn't the solution to the "lifeless paradise" to have virtual struggles to give people a sense of purpose? i play video games because the real world is stressful and if i'm not with trustworthy people it's usually drama-seeking kids in adult bodies. i'll make my own paradise until i have to leave the house to take care of myself.

[@observationsfromthebunker9639]

Manga Entertainment video releases, those were good days of my anime fan youth. :) The OVA was a cheap tie-in for the early volumes of the manga which at the time was a big success and very popular. The anime was made without Shirow's involvement, and it shows a lot. All the flash, none of the substance. The Greek mythological references are intentional, and NOT hipster tongue-in-cheek. Olympus is a deliberate showcase for The Future in an otherwise crapsack world. Hecatonchiros means "hundred-handed", and refers in-story to Briareos's onboard augmented senses and hackerware which can theoretically let him run an aircraft carrier by himself! (Not that the OVA story used that capability in any way.) BTW Briareos is a cyborg, a modified human, not an android. He is still fully human at his core, and he acts like it without being the stereotypical Cyberpunk ticking time bomb.

[@warped_rider]

"You underestimated the power of Japanese technology,you evil bitch!" Some Japanese tech company needs to adopt that as their slogan immediately!

[@180223]

I'm a simple man. I see a new Anime Abandon, I click like.

[@Seanatonin]

same.

[@theproplady]

So the villain of this anime is cyborg One Punch Man. Oh if only....

[@dramspringfeald]

There is one small problem with your argument.. An android is an 100% artificial construction (biodroids) a cyborg is a 100% real human with artificial parts strapped to them. He is a cyborg, the show doesn't say how much is bunny but and how much is human but human food and human organs suggests hes at least got lungs that work, organs that work and this is not an android. In the manna however basically his head, torso, and some of his lower organs survived.

[@dramspringfeald]

This is also why he wears cloths and the like its an attempt to feel somewhat human again.

[@qtheplatypus]

Cyborgs have biological parts so they need to eat.

[@TheRezro]

But they don't need do that directly. Digestive system is quite complicated and far more sufficient solution is use of food capsules.

[@manxvangura3154]

yeah but I thought cyborgs were existing people that just had robotic parts added on, like people with prosthetic arms and legs

[@TheRezro]

Manx VanGura Yes, of course. Its all depend on scale of his augmentation. The issue is that they never clearly explained that and it seams that and he have full body prosthetic. He could be like that but I see why people could see that as something off.

[@CamsEyeView]

I was thinking the food would turn to fuel and such

[@Solqueen86]

Ghost in the shell does this by showing that those with cybernetic don't need to eat but they choose to eat. The new kind of food that is made for them mimic normal foods is tasteless but it still helps keep the memories of what it is to be human

[@shoigunjinsho4419]

IIRC, in the manga it says Briareos wears clothes because he was once totally human and that the current robot body he has, has a thin membrane over it connected to his spinal column that allows him to feel things as if he had skin again. So he wears clothes because it makes him still feel human and not totally robotic, like the tongue man in AD Police, or Motoko in GitS (who users her charm bracelet to similar effect).

[@gutterlang2322]

I would love to read a book about the history of Manga video.Appleseed is by no means "good" but it was always a guilty pleasure of mine.

[@johnlemus7921]

Brearios is really similar to Robocop in his construction, he has a human brain as well as part of his human digestive system. The funny thing about Brearios is his was misnamed. His robotics were supposed to be named Panoptes because of his multiple eyes or ocular censors.

[@OnDavidsBrain]

Oh god all of the bad guys in this anime are Izzak Crowe from Batman Fortunate Son. All that's missing is for Spider Jerusalem to start seeing visions of a Che Guevara stand in or something.

[@ztyran]

I know this review is three years old, but I have to say this. Briareos is a Cyborg not a Robot, that means the machinery keeps him alive but still requires food, water and oxygen.

[@Szadek23]

Why would you use Windows 12? Everyone knows 11 works much better.

Btw Sage.... he is a cyborg... not an android, yes he has a digestive system, a circulatory system, a respiratory system. Lol, he is still a human being man. just all those organs are in a tin can

[@400KrispyKremes]

Damn this was a long time coming, but I'm glad Sage finally got around to it.

[@miguelvalentine9776]

I think you missed the point, I think the no unemployment and how the main character hates this utopia implies forced rolls, also when they invade his memories. I also don't think he wants to live in the waste lands, he probably wants the life that was once there pre- WW3 or should I say a freer Olympus. people probably still are forced to work and possible not fullfill personal goals like being a artist free thinker etc. seems every one is working a cubical job honestly.

[@miguelvalentine9776]

Ps he isn't a Cyborg, he was human before they say it.

[@jmantime]

hey bennett , what type of hentai would you want someone to draw you in ? and who's your waifu ?

[@schwarzerritter5724]

If you do not like Olympus, go build your own city. Nobody is stopping you and there is a lot of unclaimed land out there. The complaint of the terrorists is not that they do not have freedom but that they are bored.

[@Ralndrath]

Have you done Orphan? I remember watching that in the early 2000's on Adult Swim, but it must've been way older than that. Remember it being pretty good

[@CornishCreamtea07]

That would be interesting to see, he hasn't done a light novel adaptation.

[@jamieriley8444]

"Ah, the 80s. The only time in history when anime hairstyles and real life hairstyles were equally ridiculous." *DON'T TEMPT ME.* That doesn't sound like Jontron. And the purple bunny robot in the thumbnail doesn't look like Bonnie. I am disappoint. I wonder what Sage thinks of JonTron now. I'm sure whatever it is will make me want to watch JonTron even more, out of spite. Oh and Nicholas Cage and Keanus Reeves are OBVIOUSLY immortals, not time travellers. Everybody with half a brain can see that.

Pfft back during the professionally offended and when ppl believed everything

[@stargazer3424]

Huh, was expecting Emperor Sage to show up at the time travel bit

[@GunNutproductionsOG]

not going to lie but I liked Appleseed Alpha because one I love the cyberpunk stuff and two it focused on the two main characters trying to get to olympus, therefor the characters emotions and action were simple and understandable. plus well it looked pretty kickass

[@asadULTRAwalker]

a bioroid is NOT merely a cyborg and Briareos IS NOT a bioroid.

[@Blacknight8850]

The one thing I remember most about Manga Entertainment was how it had this stable of terrible (or at least terrible looking) OVAs that it would include a roll-call of trailers for on other, better DVDs that you ended up buying. Every time the DVD extras would include stuff like Vampire Wars, Amon Saga etc, sometimes running for almost half an hour and at least 20 titles that you'd recognise every time and eventually know almost word-for-word.

[@linkeffect82]

One nitpick to get off my chest first thing Sage, the clothes on Briareos really aren't that weird, it's more for HIM then for the police force/society. He's still a human being being despite having a clearly non-human form, so it makes sense for some measure of human vanity and modesty is still practiced by him for his own humanity. Other then that, yeah this is a piece of crap, I could probably enjoy a little of the action but it's definitely a poor excuse for an anime. Good review!

[@snowwhite7677]

There has been so many reboots of Appleseed at this point this little 80's flick is pretty much irrelevant. The 2004 Movie and the Appleseed XIII Series seem to be the most loyal to the the Original Comic...

[@mechredd]

I enjoyed the entire Appleseed franchise, but why does all 4 films and the TV show climax with the exact same floating robot battle fortress thing? That damn thing is more overused than the Deathstar.

[@1986Hikaru]

Its because here the climax of first arc of Manga's ends. And people are lazy.

[@V4Now]

It still hasn't beaten the portal in the sky XD

[@louisduarte8763]

13:23 Brearios is a cyborg, so that means SOME parts of his body are still organic, requiring food to keep living, as well as whatever powers his robot parts. Even cyborgs in GitS gotta eat and drink. They probably use alcohol as fuel.

[@RenegadeVile]

Well, since he's a cyborg, he probably does have shame and probably does come with some parts that might still be human...

[@WendeXTX]

Manga still have a big presence in the UK. The fact that HMV (an entertainment shop) still calls anime 'manga' on store displays in 2016. Even more strange, Manga actually released some books (yeah actual MANGA), all licensed form other publishers, including Appleseed.

[@chrishorobin1751]

Sage... He's a cyborg... That means there's robotic parts attached to a biological core. That's probably what needs the food, and why he wears the clothes. It's a humanising effort. Now if he was an Android, he'd be a robot in the shape of a man, and your complaints would hold a lot more water with me.

[@CaptainRufus]

Note that the original US VHS release was a subtitled one by a company called US Renditions. And I really don't remember the language being that R rated.

[@wilsonkierankitsune]

I always thought that Briareos only had his upper torso replaced with cybernetics (because he was severely injured and they didn't have more sophisticated parts to replace him with) but kept his internal organs and lower body (albeit reindforced to hold himself up) so he's still human and still has to eat. I might have read that on the flash website that was promoting the CGI Appleseed movie a while back so I don't know how true it is here

So it wasn't a Utopia after all. A good point in favor of this statement was brought up by Chad Walsh in his "From Utopia to Nightmare" : People cannot feel tired of happiness.

The 2004 digitally animated film he mentions in the beginning of the review.

[@naterivers6107]

Actually, Borealis is a human, he's just got a cyborg exoskeleton. He gets shot several times in the manga and has to be hospitalized.

[@MrChupacabra555]

Commenting on an old video, I know, but..... On Briarios wearing clothes: Well, the 'core' of him is still a human being, so he probably just feels more comfortable wearing clothing, and probably a bit more 'human' while doing so, even though he no longer 'needs' to wear it (otherwise wouldn't we just wear clothes that look exactly the same 7 days a week?)

[@capthavic]

Maybe its just me but that guy didn't sound at all like Jontron.

[@Tommylop1982]

[@cognisant307]

Spider's motivation would make more sense as a survivor's guilt complex, imagine you've just been pulled out of a blasted hellscape that forced you to do unspeakable things to survive and now you're in as close to paradise as reality can get. You don't feel like you deserve it and having fought for everything you've ever had it feels like the setup to a cruel punchline, like the moment you relax it'll all get taken away so you're terrified of going soft and ending up worse off than you were before. Also indignant that all your effort and skills ultimately amounted to nothing, that this prosperity was just given to you out of the blue, when you've had to fight for everything having something given to you feels like an insult to your past self.

[@Blacknight8850]

RE: the extra swearing - I think that's also meant to be a 'placeholder' for when the respective lengths of the English dub and the lip-flaps drawn for the Japanese one don't match up, so for example "-fuckin'-" can be slipped in as a one (or in a pinch two) syllable filler, or "...shit." as a one-word remark where there might not be an English equivalent. I fuckin' agree though, the cocksukin' unnecessary swearing can often be goddamn unnatural sounding!

[@JoshuaEFinley]

Sage, you are wrong. We do not all struggle to attain Utopia. Many of us struggle for the opposite. We struggle for freedom. Utopia is indeed a gilded cage for once you achieve it then you have nothing left to strive for. Ignorance is bliss and any new idea introduced into a Utopia creates chaos thusly destroying the façade. While Utopia is a noble and quite possible goal I would rather be an eagle soaring freely and getting into fights with other birds than a worker bee who doesn't know any better until something upsets me. That is what the better people of the US continue to fight to stand for and why the US constitution is better than any potential one world socialist government. Even if you get to pick your cage it is still a cage, but that seems to be what the liberal half is pushing for. A much prettier cage where everyone is forced to get along and be happy might sound good, but at some point we stop being alive and just keep living. I have lived a miserable life most of my life and I would not have it any other way because the bad parts like when my mother split my dad's head open with her high heel shoe while he held her off the ground by her throat against the wall, or all of the times I went hungry because I couldn't find a job only make the good parts worth it. You live, you learn, you love, you yearn. In this case the seemingly pretentious anime had it right. You had it wrong.

[@JoshuaEFinley]

Even a person who has everything may want for more out of life. It is not natural to be happy with your direction in life all of the time. My favorite example of this is the movie Wall-e. The ship they were on was a Utopia indeed, but it was hardly a good life. Not everyone has the same ideas and it would be wrong to make everyone be happy. I would take neither the crappy death zone or the utopia provided for me, but I would choose to build my own house in the wild rather than stay in the warm safe cage on a pedestal.

[@Green-Raccoon777]

All the anime needed to do was explain why people want freedom. Why does everyone outside the guilded cage despise it? Why would they perfer their miserable existence over the supposed comforts of their worst adversary? If these questions were answered, then this would be a much better anime.

Pausing at 4:55: Pants have pockets, joints can be covered and kept clean, scratches can be prevented from tarnishing more sensitive areas. It is like how your laptop has a carrying case or people with really good cars put a tarp on them at night.

It's a mix of living tissue and synthetic materials, so the former needs to be nourished just as the latter needs regular maintenance. Now, if he were an *android* you'd have a point.

[@ARcinder]

The issue with a utopian civilization other then the fact that it is impossible of course is that the citizens will lose their will to develop. Plato said it best, "necessity is the mother of invention." In a world where our lives are fully supported and we have no need to invent, or imagine we will, with time, lose our minds. Mankind like all other animals must fight against odds at all times to better themselves. If we ever hit a wall it may very well be our end. With said the best thing for these people to do is just make a separate city and build a free market system and try to compete with Olympus, not destroy the place.

This was dubbed in the 90's, Not the 80's I seen this on the big screen at a con in 91. It was all in Japanese. Yes, people were shaking heads and asking questions about it senseless.
