About three weeks ago I brought forth the anime about a stunning young woman and her cyborg partner.

Deunan Knute, the main character of Appleseed, has had a less-than-normal life. As a legendary female soldier, and survivor of the Third World War, you could say she is something close to badass. She is the main reason that I enjoyed this anime, not for the twist, or the CG animation, but for the hardcore female badass. Usually with anime there is the alpha male and the weakling little girl who screams, cries and flashes her panties. Now, not all are like that,
