Appleseed: The Promethean Challenge/Book One

Rating:
Summary: This is great material.
Review: Although this title's artwork is a bit less intricate than Masamune Shirow's latest material, this is still great, classic manga in his unmistakable and beautiful style. He always manages to write great stories, despite whatever mediocre "super hero fantasy" comes out all the time in the comics world; also, his watercolored and airbrushed covers are very beautiful {as well as his girls}. Appleseed's story concerns a totally sterilized society in which all is perfect... but can humanity survive in such an environment? This futuristic society is the Utopia mankind has always sought, but can humanity "live" in a world where everything is provided for you, and where the difference between androids and people is becoming more and more blurred? Humanity's rebellion begins...

Summary: Appleseed is a far-future cyberpunk, adventure.
Review: Appleseed is one of the best manga series out there today. With its hard-core action, placed in a future of chaos and technological shock. Deunnan Knute and her cyborg lover, Briarios, are placed in a new utopiac world. But, they soon come to realize that there are incredible secrets and corruptions hidden in their midst. A great book for all manga fans! Masamune Shirow delivers the best, again.
