A Great Surprise

Although the title of the manga is "Hypernotes" the majority of this book is an eighty page story that Shirow calls "The End of Appleseed Book Five (Unfinished), Beta Version". That caught me completely by surprise and looks quite finished by my eyes. So just to let all you Appleseed fans out there, here is what the unreleased volume five of Appleseed will look like!

A Shirow-fans must have book

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.
