It took me several scans of the article to find out what it's name was.
'To'...just plain 'To'.... Still, the website looked awesome so hey, I'm looking forward to this. |

I enjoyed the manga and the original anime. I also like Sori, just saw Ichi and that was pretty good, while Vexille was great.
This should be worth a watch. |

Awesome news. I have all three volumes of the Viz manga. Think I should re-read it.

Looks cool. I didn't care for Appleseed, but I love stories about space exploration/travel.
Is the Manga pretty good? edit: I can't seem to find any listing for the manga on VIZ's website. But I'm checking out the OVA ASAP, cause it seems like its right up my alley. |

The manga is OOP. Volume one even had a hardcover edition. Flipped art. Wonder if Viz will reprint it now that one of the stories will be animated. |

Wow, this has me really excited. I loved the manga. Don't let the name fool you. While the first 5th of the story is very closely related to 2001: A Space Odyssey (the manga's inspiration), from that point forth it really begins to tell it own story and takes it through some very unique twists and surprises. Though I doubt many modern anime fans have either seen the movie or its concurrent book, so I doubt that should be much of an issue anyway. spoiler[Also, even though they are short stories, they are told in a way that makes them related to each other.] (<--semi-weak spoiler)
This should be a great anime. My only concern is time. Is this only going to be a single film? I hope it is long and they don't leave anything out.

The Japanese website is a candidate for Engrish.com or FAIL Blog.

Does this mean that, unlike what I'd be lead to believe by my past experience with short story compilations, there is a strong emphasis on storytelling in the source material? If so it sounds quite solid; something tells me the visuals will be sumptuous. A must for good sci-fi these days, I suppose. |

I admit, given the quote I am unsure of what source material you are talking about. But yes I can assure you there is a story to tell (I think it would be alright for you to look at my spoiler since this seems to be ending up as a single, hopefully long film). And I rather like the art as well (left to right, not in sequential order), which is more realistic and less anime-y. Not that anime style is bad or anything, just it really would serve no purpose given the serious story and mostly realistic science fiction. |

The story sounds interesting, but the past work with Appleseed, and especially Vexille, isn't exactly filling me with confidence.
