World War III is over, but for nomad soldier Deunan Knute and her cyborg lover, Briareos, the greatest challenge lies ahead. Not in the abandoned cities and DMZs of a post-war battlefield, but on the streets of a new "utopia." Shirow Masamune's visionary Appleseed is widely regarded not only as one of the lynchpin works of graphic fiction, but one of the most influential science-fiction stories in recent memory, culminating in the astonishing 2005 animated adaptation. Appleseed: Hypernotes, never before collected in America, features an over eighty page Appleseed tale, plus reams of detailed information and art of the characters, machines, and weapons of Appleseed.

A Shirow-fans must have book,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Appleseed: Hypernotes (Paperback)
I am a big fan of Shirow and Appleseed, so this book was a must have. I was very pleasantly surprised though with the amount and quality of the sketches and production notes section at the back. Great stuff. I'd have given it five stars, but some of the content seems like fluff or filler. Not too bad though, some random interview and other stuff. Like I said, it's a must have for a fan, but not critical to your collection.

Hypernotes Review,
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Appleseed: Hypernotes (Paperback)
The rest of the Appleseed saga plays out in this book (as of 2010). Shirow, long ago moved onto Ghost in the Shell, and who knows if he will ever return to the Appleseed series. His latest work is just poster and full color image art, as he has either become disinterested or lost his drive at weaving interesting stories. (Maybe he just puts all the hentai stuff out now for money...) So if you were a big fan of Deunan over Motoko, I highly recommend picking this up to complete your collection. On top of that a lot of great sketches, explanations and concept sketches of things in the Appleseed world. Definitely not worth the 14.95 price tag, but I picked this up new from Hero Comics for a measley 5.50 which made this an excellent buy.
5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent addition to the collection,
This review is from: Appleseed: Hypernotes (Paperback)
This is the same basic setup as ID which is a supplement to the manga. This one has a story which is a little over half of the book and the rest is illustrations and info on the series. No color pictures this time (unlike ID). A must have if you're an Appleseed fan.
