Trailer of a cel-shaded Appleseed story to be released with some figures. Not great, but at least interesting.

Molly: Star Racer looks more promising in terms of a full CG anime, but this doesn't look half bad either... I think all the mechas like Guges will probably turn out well in 3D.

I'm still happy for how the made the cel shaded mechs in the new Ghost in the Shell anime. Specially in the second episode.

As much as stores seem to be charging for those figures [at the one store I saw them at picking up all three would put you back $75 US] I would hope the anime included would be at least satisfactory.

Quite interesting!
But for a new anime made in 3d, check out Platonic Chain
Platonic Chain

This page has a small review of Platonic Chain's 1st episode. Scroll right down to the bottom:

I also heard that this anime is done in 3d, but I'm not too sure of its name:

It's Maho Yugi, and the OAV is indeed done in 3D. They have a digi-subbed version of ep 1 floating around, and it's an intresting watch and story (Though the animation feels very stiff, much like a lot of early Computer Animation tends to do). It is a fun story, though...

It seems cel shaded anime is starting to become more and more popular now. I guess the popularity of Zoids and Initial D had some part in it. I downloaded the first episode of Platonic Chain today... but I haven't watched it yet, seems interesting though.

This is probably the most promising looking CG anime I've seen so far, it's called Mahou Yugi... and it's done by AIC! verrrry interesting looking OAV.

For anyone interested in Molly Star Racer, here's a good little write up on it- http://www.students.sonoma.edu/users/a/albright/molly/about.shtml you should check out the trailer even if it doesn't air until 2004.


edit- just watched Plaitonic Chain and I'm pretty let down. Despite the length (a 6 minute episode?) the framerate and jerky animation just ruin it... that and a total lack of any facial expression on the characters. Just shows there's still a long way to go on cel shaded CG anime. ;)
