add recHeat Guy J and Escaflowne not only are made by the same studio, but have a very similar feel. Both shows have great twists and turns in the plot, with characters who you never sure where they will eventually side with. While Escaflowne focuses more on romance, Heat Guy J is all about the action. Character development is top notch in both shows, particularly with Dilandau and Clair. Whether you're looking for action, deep characters, or even a little bit of romance, both shows are top notch and perfect for anyone.

add recUtopia, from the Greek eutopos ("good place") and outopos ("no place"), is an ideal society created for human benefit. Utopian fiction, a genre closely related to science fiction, describes such a society. But the worlds of Appleseed and Heat Guy J are not utopian but dystopian.
Appleseed opens with the promise of an utopian society in Olympus but, as Deunan Knute soon finds out, "utopia" is an ambiguous term. In Heat Guy J, outsiders believe the city of Judoh is paradise on Earth; but for longtime resident Daisuke Aurora, Judoh is a hardboiled wonderland.
Heat Guy J and Appleseed are part of the trend of crossing noir sensibilities with science fiction themes. If you're a fan of Isaac Asimov's Robot Series, or just tech-noir in general, check them out.
