When I saw this piece of news up on ANS, I actually started to drool. Not in the "ZOMG Belf naked chick" kinda drool, but something more on the lines of "phear the visual effects" salivation. I may not be a big mecha fan (read: I despise all mecha shows that do not include at least one imouto chan with pink or green hair), but Appleseed was, indeed, to my liking. Don't really know why, it has plenty of robots, a story fit for some of the most underrated Doujinshi out there, and, yes, no little girls. Eh, well, it must have been the animation.

Suffice to say that a new Appleseed movie is on it's way due this Fall, entitled "Saga Ex Machina", directed by Shinji Aramaki and produced by *gasp* none other than John Woo. If you like spicy fighting scenes, Jet Li-like moves and plenty of gun fighting, then this show will be just the thing for you. Seems like the similar PS2 title, launched recently, has some connections to this movie. We will wank wait and see.
