We've told you all about the John Woo produced, Shinji Aramaki directed, anime version of Shirow Masamune's Appleseed: Ex Machina. We've spoken to the director and found out about plans for a possible sequel, we've attended a screening, and we've given away tickets to it as well. Now, we're offering up not one but two copies of his futuristic cyborgs-in-love story for you to take home for your viewing pleasure. What do you have to do to win? Just leave a comment on this post. Sounds simple, right? Find out more inside.
Just leave a comment on this post, and we'll be using a random number generator to pick out two winners. We'll cover the shipping, and you do the watching. Please limit yourself to just one entry, otherwise you'll be unfairly stacking the pack. If we find out you've been leaving more than one comment, we'll pull your plug faster than you can say "Neo." We'll select two different winners on this Wednesday, April 9th, so comment away, cross your fingers, and good luck!
Update! We have our two winners: DWolvin and Angryride were selected at random by a non-sentient random number generator. Make sure you contact us with your full name and mailing address so we can send your DVDs along.

Leave a comment? Even I can do that.
I'd like a DVD, please.
@Evil Tortie's Mom: I'm not sure I'll be able to.
Comment? I can do that too!
@Evil Tortie's Mom: We "elders" are still good for something!
I picked up No Country for Old Men instead of this... Maybe it was a sign.
One comment for some Shirowy goodness? Deal!
Pick me. Because I am awesome.
how do you comment?
Random Eh? I can dig that!
One comment coming this way.

I'm leaving this post to enter a contest.

What's this big white square here for and why can I type in it?
Ohhh! A button!
I'm in.

i'm not really sure if leaving a comment here is worth the risk of being shipped a sequel to an anime i didn't particularly enjoy....
to late, i guess i'll have to give it a chance if i win. wouldn't want to anger the gods of randomemity.
+1. Its actually pretty awesome.
Coolness... I love contests that take no effort on my part! Thanks io9!
Done. Did I win?
Yehah contests, I'm there!
are there tentacles in this?
Here's to Randomness! Let the games continue...
Woo Hoo! Who to woo for a chance at one of two John Woo's to view? Does that count as Woo with a View?.... ahem, now, I've lost any dignity I ever had for a chance to win a movie.
I can haz Appleseed?
Ooooo, hit me!
I like pie.
I LOVE IO9!
(AND FREE STUFF!)
Oooh! I'd love to have a copy!
I am the very model of the modern major powered armor.
Masamune me, please!
Why does that sound dirty?
Also, why is the bow tie on the bioroid so droopy? Tsk-tsk.
Comment for a DVD? Certainly!
Insert witty comment thinly veiled to get me involved in this contest.
(Me likes the free stuff! <3 you Io9 guys).
Please please please tell me that I also get a free T-shirt (and unwanted line of credit)!
I AM LEAVING A COMMENT PLEASE TO BE SENDING DVD KTHX
They call me Jonny Appelseed, so that should give me a leg up, correct?
Appleseed for ME!
Appleseed, Appleseed, GO GO GO!
I hardly ever post here (though I read frequently), but I'm interested!
Hmmm. Tomorrow is my birthday. Tomorrow is the day you pick a winner.
Scarlet O'Hara said, "Tomorrow is another day."
Little Orphan Annie said, "The Sun Will Come Out Tomorrow."
Pierce Brosnan thought "Tomorrow would die another day."
I'm seeing a trend.
Hopefully, tomorrow I'm seeing Appleseed!
Commenty commenty mccomment commenty.
(Lame, I know, but last time I checked, random number generators generally don't parse natural language, so it really shouldn't matter what I say. Except for maybe this. 42.)
I like simple contests like this.
DM: "The enemy commander and your arch nemesis is rushing your location and preparing to monolouge while his troops hold you captive."
Robo-Suit Soldier: "I grab [female soldier] and leap off the platform to the safe loving depths of the ocean below"
DM: "Ok that is two DEX rolls."
Robo-Suit Soldier: *rolls and is successful*
Female Soldier: "Wait a sec! I hate monologuing arch-nemeses types!!! I'm taking the shot."
DM: "You do realise you have a -5 penelty on this since you are basicly being tackled by a small truck."
Female Soldier: "I'm still taking the shot, one round between the eyes."
*rolls a nat 20*
Female Soldier: "wewt!"
DM: *sigh* "You are successful in preventing further loquations of that particular villan, happy now?"
A chance to win a free copy of the further adventures of Deunan and Old Wabbit Ears? I'm in!

I don't even know why I'm entering, I never win anything...
That sounds fine by me.
...and that's why Superman would totally kick Thor's ass!
I'm sorry what's going on here?
Hey, count me in. I enjoyed Appleseed, and this one looks like a lot of fun, too.
Halcon says, "All will be one."
Vicious, but irresistible.
Does this wig make me look like Major Kusanagi?
io9 is good to me. And so I thank io9. For giving me the things I need: a contest to win an Appleseed. io9 is good to me.
Amen. Amen amen amen. Aaaaaaamen.
