So if you want to see the Casshan/Casshern/whatever-the-hell-you-call-it deal, perhaps you might be equally excited to learn of appleseed. The trailers make it look quite good. The usual anime lots of violence and guns and superhuman strength and evil robots, from what I gather. Perhaps I'm oversimplifying, but I bet I'm right.

A little CGI-cel-shaded goodness. We'll see how it turns out. Who needs plots or characters when you can just have cool special effects? Of course, that's what Sony thinks will power "Hellboy" forward, but I think they're making a mistake in that case. Besides, you don't want to go up a week later against the punisher. Dolph Lungren or no, that'll be the end of hell-boy.
