Matters appear on the upswing, however, when they are found and brought to Olympus, an urban utopia and centerpiece for the reconstruction of civilization. Duenan and Bri join the Olympus police, a force that seems hardly necessary in such a paradise. But, like in most pretty pictures, perfection is an illusion, and Olympus's peaceful facade hides a dark secret, a violent struggle between human and...

Hard to follow? haha, gotta read the two ghost in the shell volumes then guys.
i find appleseed a lot easier to understand...
this manga has a multi layered storyline, some of them pass on the media surrounding the heroine, some are just small background stuff...re-reading a lot it is mandatory.
This said, political intrigues involved in appleseed are all lost in the video adaptations, too bad.
i frankly got disappointed by ALL of them, only the two latest oav's are worth more than a 5/10.
the full 3D cellshading ones are a complete no-go, even action scenes s*ck.

This was great, art wasn't the best at first, but by the third volume Shirow hit his stride. Yeah, it's a little hard to follow at times, but it's a great story nonetheless.
This 80's cyber punk manga is full of technicisms from technology, military & police worlds. You add to that some international conspiracy, mix in a little bit of existentialism and there you have: appleseed. I found it very hard to follow. Not worthy enough to read.
