FUNimation Entertainment has announced the Complete Series release of Appleseed XIII, the 13-episode 2011 CGI anime series from Production I.G, Jinni's Animation Studios and director Takayuki Hamana. Appleseed XIII arrives on Blu-ray via a 5-disc Standard Edition BD/DVD combo and a 5-disc Limited Edition BD/DVD combo, both of which street on June 4th.

Official Synopsis: Following a world war that killed half the world's population, the city-nation of Olympus stands as a beacon of hope in a world of chaos and conflict. The utopian metropolis is governed by Gaia, a vast artificial intelligence, and administered by genetically engineered humanoids known as Bioroids. Although Olympus seems like a peaceful city on the surface, racial (human vs. bioroids vs. cyborgs), religious, and political conflicts lurk underneath, threatening to overturn the delicately balanced peace. Security threats such as terrorists and anti-government criminals abound, so the use of force becomes a necessary evil even in this so-called utopia. Deunan, a young female warrior, and Briareos, a veteran cyborg-soldier, are both partners and lovers, as well as members of ES.W.A.T., the elite special forces serving Olympus. They are deployed wherever trouble strikes. Conspiracy, terrorism, deadly military weapons technology, greedy corporations, and power-hungry politicians; these are just some of the threats that Deunan and Briareos must contend with as they fight to protect Olympus and save mankind from plunging into another war. Based on the manga by Shirow Masamune.
