I am half through the 2004's "Appleseed" (Appurushîdo).
My father watched it and said that the story feels like deja-vu. I don't entirely agree with him but we both agree in that the animations are spectacular. The movie is done entirely in 3d, but unlike Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within, the characters are rendered in the "Ink & Paint" style. They look just like in a hand-drawn anime yet they move with incredible fluidity and are equipped with lip-synch. I will write a review after I have finished watching it.
