For some reason, I never heard of this one coming out in 2007. I own the first one and I love it.

[I]Appleseed[/I] was also the inspiration for two [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anime"]anime[/URL] adaptations, the first an [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/OVA"]OVA[/URL] released in 1988 and directed by [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kazuyoshi_Katayama&action=edit"]Kazuyoshi Katayama[/URL],

the second a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery"]CGI[/URL] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appleseed_%282004%29"]movie[/URL] released in 2004 and directed by [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shinji_Aramaki&action=edit"]Shinji Aramaki[/URL]. Aramaki will also be directing the sequel to the 2004 movie, titled [I]Appleseed Saga Ex Machina[/I], which is set to be released in the current of 2007 in Japan.

The movie will once again feature animated [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer-generated_imagery"]computer-generated imagery[/URL] and [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Woo"]John Woo[/URL] is fully involved in the production. Also planned for 2006 is a more traditionally-animated 26-episode series and a [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Appleseed_EX"]PlayStation 2 game by Sega[/URL].

Great, the 2006 (IIRC) release rocked, much better than GITS2.
