But that was always trash.
Vagina Bones

Show is still great

It started off good, but I felt it should have concluded with the Pharaohs arc. The author could have easily wrapped up the one or two lose ends remaining, and finished it there, but instead it kinda drags.
Thank god the Bokurano director's career is now ruined.

It's just too bad it happened too late to save Bokurano.

Show is pretty good though.

It's not that the anime was bad, the source material just isn't good until the minus arc.
To be fair though, Buddha, and lots of other manga, are nigh impossible to adapt well.

Every Appleseed adaptation ever has sucked.
I guess Ghost in the Shell/GotS:SAC made up for it, though.

Is it really that bad?
I mostly heard good things about that anime.

The quality drops a lot by the end because the manga was discontinued so they had to invent their own thing to close the series.
But the first half it's pretty good.

The adaptation was good.
Botched because it still hasn't gotten one

I haven't seen the new ones yet, but what was wrong with the first one? It wasn't a masterpiece but I remember watching it and enjoying myself.

The '90s OVA? It stripped out all the dense background just to have a spider tank rampage -- and thereby set the pattern for all the iterations since (disclaimer -- never saw any of Appleseed XIII, but given that it sank w/o a trace worse than GitS:Arise, I can draw conclusions)
