Pero la cabra tira al monte y ya en el segundo tomo Shirow no evita zambullirse de lleno en los aspectos plomizos más sociopolíticos y militarizados de este universo (curiosamente los filosóficos y transhumanistas están apenas mencionados siendo mucho más interesantes). Three stars for this volume, four for the series overall.Įs una lástima porque Appleseed me sorprendió gratamente en su primer recopilatorio siendo una propuesta más ligera y divertida a lo que suelo esperarme con este autor. While I'm glad I took it on and like the saga as a whole, the second half was a little underwhelming compared to the first. Everything since has largely felt like an extended epilogue of Briareos and Deunan adjusting to life after Gaia. In retrospect, the series probably should have ended with book 2. I'm not sure if I'll grab the Appleseed Data book or Appleseed ID, though. I was hoping for some closure but it was pretty open ended. This volume was mostly action and blew by pretty quickly. Also, Deunan gets injured during training and has to wear an eyepatch. Naturally, Briareos and Deunan play a big part in that. A giant mech is being built and ESWAT has to stop it.
The art was great, of course, and the story was a lot easier to follow than in the previous two books. Of course, Deunan and Briareos are caught in the middle. There is a lot of political maneuvering in this one on the part of Imperial Americana, the Munma terrorists, Aegis, and even corrupt elements of ESWAT. Here we area already, the concluding Appleseed volume.
Or are they? Will Olympus fall from within? And will Deunan and Briareos let it? Munma terrorists are building a giant landmate to use against Aegis. Two more volumes of Appleseed followed before he began work on Ghost in the Shell. After a professional reprint of Black Magic and a second volume of Appleseed, he released Dominion in 1986. The story was a sensation, and won the 1986 Seiun Award for Best Manga. The result was Appleseed, a full volume of densely-plotted drama taking place in an ambiguous future. His work caught the eye of Seishinsha President Harumichi Aoki, who offered to publish him. While in college, he developed an interest in manga, which led him to create his own complete work, Black Magic, which was published in the manga fanzine Atlas. Shirow is also known for creating erotic art.īorn in the Hyōgo Prefecture capital city of Kobe, he studied oil painting at Osaka University of Arts. He is best known for the manga Ghost in the Shell, which has since been turned into two theatrical anime movies, two anime TV series, an anime TV movie, and several video games. Masamune Shirow ( 士郎 正宗) is an internationally renowned manga artist.
