Review of Vexille (2007) by Greekcthulhu M — 10 Mar 2010
"Vexille" is a very solid sci-fi anime that utilizes the CGI-2D hybrid that has become popular thanks other anime like the "Appleseed" series. The direction is top notch as well as the action and soundtrack.
The story follows Vexille as she and the counter-terrorist origination S.W.O.R.D try to uncover a mystery surrounding humanoid cyborgs and its maker Daiwa. What they discover is much more serious and disheartening.
Without having to spoil too much of the movie, what the movie's story shows is what length we as humans will go to ensure our immortality by simply playing God on others like us as subjects. What originally starts as bring the next evolution in Man by creating cyborgs that look and move like us is now taken to the most drastic of levels. But on the other side of the spectrum the story show's what lengths we as humans will go to maintain our sense of humanity in the face of all this utter chaos. What all this leads to, in terms of the movie, is a look into the humanity, the human condition and wether or not we are ready for a drastic change just so we can make life easier on ourselves.
For a while I have been looking to get back into anime and "Vexille" is one of those anime's that is pointing me in the right direction.
