If you haven't seen appleseed. you have been missing out. This series is more of the characters and world fans adore. One thing that irked me is they rewrote some of the backstory to the characters. But if you can look past that detail it is a beautiful series evolving the relationship between our main characters.

Appleseed 13 Review
"Appleseed XIII is the new Japanese CGI anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s 1985 science fiction manga series “Appleseed”. The series consists of 13 episodes (if you didn’t get that from the title). The series focuses on the exploits of ES.W.A.T. members Deunan and her cyborg partner Briareos and stays pretty close the original manga stories. The series was produced in association with Production I.G, aka the makers of “Ghost in the Shell”. I am a big fan of “Appleseed” and I am glad to see this series get some new life. I wish it wasn’t returned to 13 episodes but it still works and it is a blast for fans looking for more.
If you are a fan of the past films “Appleseed” & “Appleseed Ex
Machina”, you will be happy to know that David Matranga returns as Briareos
and Luci Christian returns as Deunan Knute. So this should make fans of the
characters happy. It has also been almost six years since the last film, so this
OVA series is very welcomed. “Appleseed XIII” was also compiled into two
theatrical feature films in Japan. The first feature film was titled,
“Appleseed XIII: Tartaros” and the second titled, “Appleseed XIII:
Ouranos”.
Official Premise: In the wake of destruction from a worldwide non-nuclear war,
the city of Olympus has become the control center of the world. As humanity
adopts biological enhancements in attempts to achieve perfection, a terrorist
organization uprises to prevent what could be the eventual extinction of the
human race. Two former LAPD SWAT members join a special mech-piloting, military
force to take down the leader of the terrorist organization.
Funimation gave this OVA series a lot of love…This is a typical “complete series” release from the studio and is very impressive. The 1080p transfers on the episodes look fantastic and work very well with the CG animation style and non-stop action for this series…
The special features are pretty awesome as well, just like the series itself. There are two audio track for two episodes. Episode #7 features Mike McFarland, Ian Sinclair and Monica Rial, which is a complete blast to listen to and adds a lot to the episode itself. The second is with Episode #12, which features Colleen Clinkenbeard and David Matrenga, also very informative and a must listen for fans. “The Inside” is a crazy long nearly two and a half hour behind the scenes look at the making of each episode. Plain and simple…this is awesome and highly recommend!" mediamikes.com
