Ignorant moviegoers are still claiming that the slow-motion fighting choreography of Matrix (1999) is original. These sequences were coined as simply 'Matrix' effect. When such said effects appear in Appleseed, they will shout "See! Japanese anime copied the Matrix effect." Ghost in the Shell was produced in 1995. Go figure.
Modeling human-like characters is not an easy task. For example, animated films such as Shrek, A Bug's Life. The audience is unable to judge how accurate or true the characters were modeled because the characters are fictional. In addition, the two most expressive and difficult-to-animate human parts are face and fingers. Hence, the characters in Appleseed (and most animated films) are wearing gloves most of the time. Even if the hands are exposed, it will most likely be a non close-up camera shot.
