Best described as a sci-fi series that began in 1985, spanning four graphic novels (manga), two encyclopedias, and soon, five movies (animes), Appleseed somehow manages to be both a well-known and an undiscovered work of fiction. Uniquely, it popularized early cyberpunk, and the concept of volume published manga, featured a female soldier as a lead character, tackled sociological issues as entertainment, and later pioneered a new form of motion-capture animation which now sees use in Hollywood. Unlike most of its contemporaries, it mixed drama and dry humour, in a formula which most critics find to be well-done.

Unlike most of its contemporaries, it mixed drama and dry humour, in a formula which most critics find to be well-done. It also finds loyal fans in people as diverse as Chinese film director John Woo, and Italian fashion designer Miucca Prada, who loved the saga so much that she later designed clothing for the characters in a later sequel. What else is there to know about the series, which for nearly fifteen years now, has been underratted, and cast aside as Ghost in the Shell's little brother?
