Appleseed XIII English Sub & Dub

About Appleseed XIII

If you are hunting for a new action series, Appleseed XIII deserves a look (2011). The setup goes like this. What the story covers: After facing massive destruction from a devastating war, the city Olympus has become the last stronghold as the center of command for the world. In order to protect the city from a group of terrorists known as the Argonauts, former LAPD SWAT member, Deunan Knotts, runs special military forces consisting of Biroids (cloned humans) and her cyborg partner Brialeos.

Another thread: Knotts must protect the town at all costs but is met with difficulties when Al Ceides, the Argonaut leader thought to be dead, resurfaces and causes problems.

As an action title, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. If you count yourself among viewers who like fast, high-impact fights, put it on your list.

Production & Appeal

Production sits with Production I.G, Welz Animation Studios, which means the visual identity of Appleseed XIII follows that studio's craft. Because it leans on action, fight choreography, pacing and sound design carry much of the weight. With a 6.4/10 score, it is more of a niche pick than a universal crowd-pleaser. It aired in 2011, which makes it easy to place in the wider anime calendar.
