Hey guys,

I read a while ago that an Appleseed TV series was coming.
Quote:
Production is underway for a sequel to the Appleseed film, as well as a TV series based on the franchise, according to an interview with Masamune Shirow in the latest Kikan-S magazine. LA's Axis Entertainment first announced the plans in December 2004.

Quote from this link: Clickies

Does anyone have any more info in this? Is it true? Was production canceled by any chance? What is the series called? Just Appleseed?

If anyone has any information on this please share.

Thanks

[BTW Merry Christmas]

The Appleseed TV series is coming out next year and it will include 26 episodes. The project is not cancelled, it is coming out. I don't if that is for Japan or the US.

P.S There is an Appleseed game coming out next year for the PS2.



Merry Chirstmas!

It's coming out in 2007 in Japan. A US date has not been announced.

I predict that Geneon will license this, seeing as how the have the 2004 movie. And hopefully Adult Swim picks up the broadcast rights, because I really want to see this. Maybe they can have some kind of Appleseed marathon, during which they'll show both the 1980s OVA, the 2004 film, and the first episode (or two) of the new TV series, all in one night. But I won't hold my breath.

Thanks for the confirmation guys! I'm REALLY looking forward to this series. I loved the movie [I own the DVD special ed.]

Glad to hear it's really coming out.

Very Happy Very Happy Very Happy

I enjoyed the action in Appleseed, and that was about it. I mean the storyline was alright but too cliche. Also the CGI was a little too bright. Does anyone know what it will be about? Or how it'll relate to the movie?

It might be a different story from the manga, or maybe it will be a retelling of the OVA's from the 80's. Dear lord how I love those OVA, they might not look as sharp as Appleseed the movie but the story was much better. Either way I am happy that more Appleseed is on the way.
