vexille

let's start with a music-video from BoomBoomSatellites (track: FIENDS /
who also did the title-track for Appleseed Ex Machina) which actually features
more visuals of mecha + battle-scenes than the trailers themselves LOL

first impression when i watched the VEXILLE animated movie trailer in the cinema last week just: "daymn it looks like a manga-ish arcade-game drawing rather than a full-on CGI flick" .. but i reckon i've been "spoilt" by hyper-realistic-CGI to miss the beauty of anime (IMHO) ... regardless, in terms of "tonal depth", this seems way darker and mayhap surpass Apple Seed (One, not Ex Machina - still waiting to watch this gggrrrr) which too was produced by the same team! but frankly, that may be an unfair assessment based on visuals from a single trailer ... but who am i gonna find to go watch this with me? ggrrrr ... meanwhile CLICK ON for movie synopsis, images and trailers :)
"Vexille" (ベクシル 2077日本鎖国 Bekushiru 2077 Nihon Sakoku?) is a 2007 Japanese CGI anime film, written, directed, and edited by famed Ping Pong director Fumihiko Sori, and features the voices of Meisa Kuroki, Shosuke Tanihara, and Yasuko Matsuyuki.

PLOT: Japan, 2077: A female agent named Vexille is dispatched to Tokyo to investigate whether the Japanese are developing robotic technology, which has been banned by the U.N. due to its potential threat to humankind."
