Nah, more likely they were from Hong Kong or mainland China, I think. But yeah, it's funny when you see the complete sets for really new shows. |

I have watched Vexille on the big screen myself (thank god, a co-worker found the advertisement for a Dublin festival where the movie was screened), and I really do not understand the review.
The movie is more then two hours long and it pretty much explained everything - there have been no loose ends or unexplained occurrences. I did not like the character design, but the action scenes and plot was amazing. It was actually the first movie I ever saw in a cinema, that had such a nihilistic ending. |

I still believe that Appleseed: Ex Machina was the best of the two Appleseed movies thanks to the better visuals, better action, change in voice cast, and a story that I thought was more solid than the first. I thought the first movie had a pretty wooden dub, Hitomi was the most annoying of the group. Thank God for Hilary Haag in Ex Machina.

Ah yes, I forgot about them! I assumed it was more likely Singapore/Malay etc area only because I noticed that the English on the packaging for them is very reasonable (offence none 2 China) and since Aus is closer too. Oh well, bootlegs are bootlegs! Though the Appleseed DVD looked like the real one at least.. I did happen to watch the first movie late on TV one night last year sometime and didn't mind it, but fell asleep about 20 mins before the end. Figures. |

I'm a fan of the Oxford comma on principle, but I also had the AP Stylebook usage beaten into me as a copy editor in another life. Now I'm just confused And what you call "jam" we call "jam." Our "jelly" is jam with the fruit flesh filtered out.

I agree to at least some extent with Veoryn with regards to the Ex Machina dub; the majority of the recasts were at least on par with Geneon's original choices.
Well there were a couple little loose ends, but nothing vital to the story I think; they left the bit about spoiler[the infected politicians] hanging, for instance. I didn't find the ending nihilistic, though. Sure, spoiler[Japan is essentially erased], but they tack on that "moral of the story bit" at the end, which balances out the narrative (I don't think this was a particularly bad choice, by the way, as it wasn't overzealously pushed upon the audience). As for the action scenes, they were absolutely a lot of fun to watch -- I thought the character designs were fine as well, myself. |

oh thats right, the politicians are not explained - I totally forgot about them. Well, either the chick will tell about them or we can wait for a Vexille 2 ;>
The character design, of course, is personal taste - to me, it looked kinda 2-dimensional. Interesting thing by the way: the cinema I watched the movie in, showed the original version with subtitles. Kinda strange, considering that it was a month ago and the dub is available! |
