Matt and I are the same page with same influences. Masamune Shirow is the master.

Another big influence on me has been Masamune Shirow, who is best recognized as the man behind Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell.
I first saw his work back in the 1980's (around '85) when I discovered a bootleg copy of the animation Black Magic. The designs were very unique, with an organic quality to the mechanical style that looked unlike anything I had ever seen before. When I eventually saw the manga for Appleseed my brain exploded and I've never looked at a mech the same way since.
This build is a tribute to Masamune Shirow's incredible worlds, without which Glyos would have a lot less round stuff to play with.
These new Axis Heavy Armor figures look like they could be straight out of Appleseed. One of the best Anime if you ask me.
