Appleseed
I was a little disappointed with this movie. I had high expectations for it. But this is my opinion. You don't have to listen to me :).
Deunan, a highly skilled soldier and survivor of the Global war, gets rescued and sent to Olympus, mankinds utopia. The city is filled with humans and Bioroids (a genetically enhanced, part clone, human).
She runs into her former lover now a cyborg and they end up having to save the city from an evil unknown.
Compelling story, or so i thought. The art style, rather more of a CG than japanese Anime, still not bad, and of course it has it's Mecha side. More here.
One major point i guess is that it has a manga (which is meant to be read prior) and some series adaptions, which all in all add up giving it a better meaning and i'm sure the movie had to be compressed a bit loosing some key pointers.
I gave it a 7/10, which is being generous. Main thing is... it was enjoyable.

Blue Gender
This has to be one of my all-time favs.
Although 13 years old now, Blue Gender is completely unique. Haven't found many other reviews of this because i don't think many people know of it.
Yuji Kaido is an average young adult male diagnosed with a serious disease (the "B-cells") and is put into cryogenic stasis until a cure is found. Twenty-two years later, he is awakened in the midst of a raging battle between armoured soldiers and insectoid beings called the "Blue" which have overrun the Earth.
Incredibly creepy at times, Blue Genders music fits perfectly giving this Anime a horror atmosphere. You can really connect with all the characters.
Sad to say it is rather underrated :(. But i hope i can change that!
No matter what sort of Anime fan you are this is bound to keep you watching!
