On this episode, Han returns to join Kate, Ed, and Dennis as we go over the Masamune Shirow's 1998 Appleseed OVA. With many different versions of this anime, we tried to go back to the first one, released by Manga Entertainment. Paradise isn't all that it seems, as the city of Olympus deals with terrorist threats and political struggle. But is it all flash and no substance? We can't help but compare it to both Bubblegum Crisis and Ghost in the Shell. Don't forget to enter our contest to win a Japanese copy of the Escaflowne OST 1 plus an Escaflowne movie program guide from Anime Expo 2000. Just review the podcast, and send proof to us to social media or our email. Good luck! Deadline is June 30, 2017.
