Appleseed XIII(TV) (2011)
No synopsis for Appleseed XIII. For more about Appleseed XIII and the Appleseed XIII Blu-ray release, see the Appleseed XIII Blu-ray Review published by Jeffrey Kauffman on May 22, 2013 where this Blu-ray release scored 4.0 out of 5. Starring: Luci Christian, David Matranga Director: Takayuki Hamana » See full cast & crew Appleseed XIII Blu-ray, Video QualityAppleseed XIII is presented on Blu-ray courtesy of FUNimation Entertainment with an AVC encoded 1080p transfer in 1.78:1. I'm frankly a little conflicted about this CGI enterprise. There's no denying the sleek, often quite nicely crisp, looking animation, but at the same time, it often feels like we're stuck in a videogame rather than an anime. Watch, for example, how discrete blocks of various characters' hair moves—it's a weird anomaly and completely distracting at times. On the other hand, the CGI allows for some really nicely nuanced dimensionality as well as some extremely fluid action sequences. But the patently "fake" look to some of the proceedings perhaps is antithetical to Appleseed XIII's attempts to craft a "real" feeling future world. In any case, no matter how you personally may respond to the CGI, the transfer here is largely flawless. There is some minor banding evident at times, but otherwise no horrible artifacts are apparent. Colors are bold and well saturated, and line detail is largely impeccable. Surfaces often have that overly rendered look, depriving the series of any real feel of texture, but that's part and parcel of this series' tendency to look more like a videogame than an anime. Appleseed XIII Blu-ray, Audio QualityAppleseed XIII features Dolby TrueHD 5.1 mixes in both the original Japanese as well as an English dub. While there are some fairly dramatic differences in the voice work between the two languages, otherwise the mixes are quite similar. There's some excellent immersion throughout this series, especially noticeable in the bombastic fight sequences (which are also rife with LFE). Some of the aerial scenes offer impeccable panning effects as various objects or characters zoom through the air. Dialogue is very cleanly presented and the really lovely score sounds fantastic. Fidelity is excellent and dynamic range is extremely wide. Appleseed XIII: Other Seasons
