Note from Encoder
This is Appurushiido (アップルシード), also known as Appleseed (1988), the landmark cyberpunk anime adaptation of Masamune Shirow’s manga.
I've added multiple audio options: the original Japanese stereo track, English dub in stereo, an English 5.1 upmix, and a commentary track in English featuring voice actress Larissa Murray alongside anime historian Jonathan Clements, co-author of The Anime Encyclopedia, discussing the film’s production and legacy.
A lesser-known detail: Appleseed was among the earliest anime films to push highly detailed military hardware animation, reflecting Shirow’s technical interests and influencing later cyberpunk anime aesthetics.
A foundational sci-fi anime worth revisiting. Enjoy!
