Sequel shown in India?

I'm not sure this is correct. The contribution by 59.93.241.169 might be placed in the wrong section. I think they meant that the 2004 film was shown in India, not the sequel.--kenobi.zero 12:21, 21 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I think it should probably be removed altogether. I'll do so, but if others feel that it should be included, just reinsert it in a different section (and without the bold formatting).~e.o.t.d~ 08:14, 3 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Proper title

This is a film article and its title should be "Appleseed (film)". It has to be moved there for film naming conventions. Hoverfish 14:25, 21 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

What is the source of the 2131 date?

I've just watched the movie and I didn't see the '2131 AD' date anywhere in the movie or the trailer? Where did you guys get it from? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 218.215.144.219 (talk) 09:26, 9 December 2006 (UTC).[reply]

Never mind. I found it. It's on the official website.

Gaia?

No mentions about Gaia? -- 130.233.243.229 13:53, 12 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rotoscoping

did it use rotoscoping technique in this film? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Myofilus (talk • contribs) 14:50, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Influences and similarities?

The film seems to borrow heavily from many different movies, most notably Ghost in the Shell (particularly the series Stand Alone Complex and Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG) and Blade Runner, but there are also hints of everything from Aliens, and Robocop, to Akira and Metropolis. Perhaps a section should be added outlining some of these influences? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.0.147.210 (talk) 07:07, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The influences would be difficult to say for sure and could only really be speculation. Also, Appleseed, the manga series predates many of your examples. I believe Appleseed was first published in 1985. Other anime series were first published or produced after such as Ghost in the Shell (1989), RoboCop (1986), and the animated film Metropolis (2001). The original Metropolis was a 1927 film that is considered by many notable film critics as the first major motion SciFi film and undoubtedly influenced all film science fiction. Akira is very similar to Appleseed, but reassembles much of the other manga from the 80's. I could definitely see the influences from Blade Runner, but Blade Runner was most notably known for its artistic vision and cinematography -- which to Appleseed have some arguable differences in motion style and storytelling.

As far as borrowing from ghost in the shell, Masamune Shirow created both of them, and they follow his general style. ``

SciFi Channel

I removed information that stated it aired on SciFi Channel (today). The 1988 version was on SciFi Channel, on the 12th, but the cablebox info for the show said 2004. Watching the recorded show now, it's is obviously not the 2004 version. -- Signed by Wolvereness^{t c} 22:42, 13 February 2008 (UTC)[reply]
