Notes[]
- Unlike the first film, which was dubbed in Los Angeles at Animaze, Warner Bros. chose to dub the film at Amusement Park Media in Houston, Texas. Because of this, the entire voice cast from the first film was replaced with Houston based actors.
- Ironically, when Sentai Filmworks released the first film on Blu-ray in 2010, they created a new dub with the Ex Machina cast for consistency. The same cast would later be used for the dub of Appleseed Alpha in 2014.
