Everything about this is top notch; the storyline, while involved, is still easy to follow and very engaging. You care about characters when they die, even the ones with limited screen time. For a standard (read: non HD) disc, the image is fantastic, though I watched it on a PS3 so the upconverting may have helped. The surround sound mix is totally immersive and goes a long way to bring you into the story. The action sequences, while somewhat derivative, are brilliant and very well staged and executed. All of this is served spectacularly well by the music, which is a combination of Oakenfold's signature breakbeat techno and selected songs by other artists, and is never off putting or out of place. Also, the anime style, a blend of cell shaded 2D and CGI, is reminiscent of Appleseed, only a bit more fluid and stylized. The Japanese audio track is solid as to be expected, and to my surprise the English dub is actually very well done. Bonus points for that. All told, Vexille is a must buy for cyberpunk, sci fi and anime afficionados, and is definitely reference material for your home theatre system. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. Review: Love animated movies. - Good movie. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B001ECQK8E | | Actors | Akio Ôtsuka, Meisa Kuroki, Romi Pak, Shôsuke Tanihara, Yasuko Matsuyuki | | Aspect Ratio | 1.78:1 | | Best Sellers Rank | #146,559 in Movies & TV ( See Top 100 in Movies & TV ) #1,541 in Science Fiction Blu-ray Discs #1,844 in Kids & Family Blu-ray Discs #1,885 in Anime (Movies & TV) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (262) | | Director | Fumihiko Sori | | Is Discontinued By Manufacturer | No | | Item model number | 0 | | Language | English (Dolby TrueHD 5.1), Japanese (Dolby TrueHD 5.1) | | MPAA rating | PG-13 (Parents Strongly Cautioned) | | Media Format | Animated, Color, DVD, Special Edition, Subtitled, Widescreen | | Number of discs | 1 | | Product Dimensions | 0.7 x 7.5 x 5.4 inches; 6.4 ounces | | Release date | November 4, 2008 | | Run time | 1 hour and 45 minutes | | Studio | FUNimation | | Subtitles: | English | ## Images ![Vexille - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71VytagJIIL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Everything that "Appleseed Ex Machina" should have been! *by B***B on June 16, 2008* Went into Vexille on the heels of the disappointing Appleseed Ex Machina and was BLOWN AWAY.

Let's start with the one thing that I didn't fully like then move on to the good stuff. Vexille Soundtrack The soundtrack, done by Paul Oakenfold was really good - but a little to hardcore in some of the action/fight scenes. We had to keep turning the volume down during those parts then turn it back up for dialogue. This is just a personal preference - many of you will likely love the heavy feel to it. Ok that's it for what I didn't completely like! Animation - superb. There was however, a very interesting aspect to the animation. The details on the characters (the people) were scaled back when compared to the details on the environment/effects/buildings/etc. You could see rich wood grain on the walls of buildings, but the character's hair barely moved in a harsh wind. Skin features were missing, yet mechanical aspects to body armor were complete with detail. It was an interesting perspective that the environment was more detailed than the actual people. Even things such as lighting effects from a vehicle were amazing to watch. Plot - also superb, and very impressive offering from Japan. Vexille is the main character of the movie - but you don't find out that it's actually the character's name until half-way into the movie. It starts out with a bang - Japan has cut off all uncontrolled contact with the outside world and has erected a very impressive barrier/shield around the entire island to prevent signals coming in or out - basically a total blackout of the island. A team of elite soldiers operating outside the auspices of the US and United Nations is tasked to infiltrate the island - the first "visitors" in 10 years - to determine if they are building a prohibited bio-mechanical technology. What's been going on in Japan for the last 10 years since the blackout? You'll have to watch the movie and see. This is a full length feature with exciting action sequences, violence, a bit of romance, and an effective storyline that has made me want to watch more animated movies like this. Sci-fi is thick in the plot, so expect a lot of "tech". We watched it with the English audio track and no subtitles, but you can watch it in native language with English subtitles if desired. There are a few special previews on the DVD, but they are mostly advertisements of other Japanese animations that are now available for purchase. Highly recommended for fans of action/adventure, sci-fi, and animation - even for those who don't necessarily choose animated movies, you'll forget that you're watching animation! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/198036922-vexille](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/198036922-vexille) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-05-16*
