Sweet. I usually don't care for anime but I gotta admit this makes me actually want to see this in the theatre.
Pisses all over Mainframe's Spiderman.

Oooh, cellshaded. I've never been into anime, but it does look kewl.

/me likes.

[dealforme]

Wow,

I didn't know that they were re-making it. Looks good.

[smirnoff]

I'm not as heavy into anime as some of you guys, but visually this is awsome. However, the music in that trailer was just crap (imo!), very mismatched, I hope the movie itself gets more respect.

[akito925]

GiTS 2 trailer was pretty awesome. I'll post a link if I can find it... it'll probably be BT though, it's huge.

[sfu_lifer]

I've seen that too (GiTS2) but this looks far cooler IMO.
And I don't get what people see with Initial D.
I watched the first 2 episodes and got bored immediately.

I'm not even really into anime (only thing I ever watched was The Animatrix and the sequences in Kill Bill: Vol 1), but that trailer looks absolutely gorgeous!!!!

[hotwings]

WOW. i have no idea what's it about but WOW. Robots and guns, gotta love anime. :)

[jollyeskimo]

I've been waiting for this for a while now....NewType USA had a special on it a while ago

[Roninvancouver]

meh. you seen one matrix-robot-anime etc; you see them all. all sizzle no steak.

[Fantaz]

Well, it hasn't been posted about since february and I hate bumping old threads. Should be coming out here in the summer.

[Bortman]

Robots and guns, gotta love anime. :)

Its called Transformers, they are 20 years old ;)

[Shen]

You were able to watch Initial D until the 2nd episode? Congrats you have guts. I never liked cars, racing, and Porsche.


I never liked cars till I saw that anime!!! ;)

[Shen]

I know you are not an anime hater, and I also agree that after watching the Appleseed episodes or movie, this dosen't strike as something new. I don't go see movies for the graphics, so I'm passing on this one even though I am an anime fan (not one that pays for anime though lol).

who pays for anime? ;)

Appleseed is out on Torrents...but no english subs..

Watched the opening scene of the movie (first 5 mins)...i was mesmorized...it's so good.

[spike-spiegel]

I'm going to watch this just because of the crazy animation. Story-wise, Appleseed has never realy appealed to me.

i love initial D since 1st stage... its just soo good (to me at least)... now i havent seen much of the 4th stage coz Live-Evil (subbers) are stuck at ep 6.. :(

as for appleseed heres the gist of it..

The anime film based on the comic book Appleseed by Masamune Shiro, famed for creating Ghost In The Shell, is a huge hit in Japan. Set against the backdrop of a 22nd century world devastated by World War III, a new utopian world, Olympus, is founded by Biodroids, half human, half machine. Deunan, a fighter in the war, was rescued by citizens of this New World power, one of which is Briareos, her ex-lover. As she settles in this ideal and serene city, she began to notice underlying tension between the humans and Biodroids. Humans in Olympus begin to suspect that Biodroids' plans might threaten the human race. A war is about to be waged between the two sides, as humans hope to destroy the super computer Gaia, the "brain" of Olympus. What will happen in this epic battle?

the new version is simply amazing... still looking for subs myself.. :(

I've watched all of Initial D except 4th stage, because no group seems dedicated to subbing it.

3rd Stage movie was my favourite. Great movie and much improved animation! There's a live-action HK Initial D movie which looks... awful.

[slippy]

I just get whatever 4th stage episode is available subbed. Up to episode 8 is out.

Thanks for the synopsis cmge. It's always the humans vs the robots. That's how the matrix got started :D
