Expelled From Paradise (2014)

This original science-fiction film directed by Seiji Mizushima (FULLMETAL ALCHEMIST, GUNDAM 00) and written by Gen Urobuchi (PUELLA MAGI ADOKA MAGICA, FATE/ZERO), two of the most prominent creators of the Japanese anime industry, garnered much praise from fans in Japan when it debuted.

Angela Balzac is an agent at the space station DEVA, whose inhabitants have no physical bodies, their minds digitized and processed into a virtual reality environment. After failing to track down the hacker known as “Frontier Setter”, who had infiltrated DEVA’s systems dozens of times to gather allies for his cause with no success, she is tasked to look for him down on Earth, now a barren planet where less than 2% of the human population lives. After being given a cloned, organic body and sent to the surface, Angela meets Dingo, her contact on Earth, who cuts off all communications with her base, in order to prevent Frontier Setter from discovering their location as well, despite her protests.

This domestic release features an all-star cast including Wendee Lee (COWBOY BEBOP, BLUE EXORCIST) as Angela Balzac, Steve Blum (COWBOY BEBOP, DURARARA) as Dingo and Johnny Yong Bosch (DURARARA, BLUE EXORCIST) as Frontier Setter.
