Definitely better than "Alpha", and certainly having some great aspects, but there are a number of detractors inhibiting me from giving it a higher score. Check out my full review at https://geekyngodly.blogspot.com/2020/04/appleseed-200...
Crappy stereotypical story, bad and cheesy dialogues and an animation that shows some quality when representing non living characters: people have not facial expression whatsoever.
