Appleseed

アップルシード

Aired: 1988

SF action OVA released in April 1988, co-produced by AIC and Gainax. Directed and written by Kazuyoshi Katayama, this roughly 60-minute adaptation of Masamune Shirow's manga is set in the post-WWIII utopian city of Olympus, where SWAT-team operative Deunan and her cyborg partner Briareos confront conspiracies and zealous terrorists lurking beneath the surface. Hideaki Anno served as mecha animation director, and Risa Yuki performs the theme song Crystal Celebration in this early cyberpunk landmark.
