Has the anime delivered according to your expectations?
It's just as... good... heh heh... as I thought it would be.
It's ass just like the original manga, so yes I'd say it did
trying to stomach the silly politics but at least it's not utter garbage like nukitashi
motoko coomsanagi
>>289516555Why is her skin textureless?
>>289516592she's a robot
>>289516615So? Doesn't mean she uses shitty loq quality skin
serious gits >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> gay gits
>>289516686no matter how high quality the fake you'll always be able to tell, kinda like a tranny
>>289516463I haven't watch it yet but I hate how it's brighten up the manga and added in more goofy faces, the old manga had goody moments but it was just standard amount, it was still more serious and gritty than this is with the one liners and the run down city, this is too bright,clean and colorful, it should look like the PS1 game not this. Now there's misconception the GITS manga is a bright comedic book when it's more like a gritty crime comic with some comedy moments like your standard manga/anime at the time also I heard the last and it doesn't fit at all. It should have a tone like the original Bubblegum Crisis not whatever this is.
>>289516555It's over.
>>289516820Heard the ost*
>>289516463It's done nothing but cause a bunch of shitty bait threads on /a/ to appear, so par for the course, really
>>289516463i had none, and i felt very dissapointed, but im happy people like this
>>289516463Cyborgs should be mopey, super sad people who always have existential crises, because they don't know if they can be called human.I mean, super strength, sturdier bodies, immune to disease, long lived. Who would actually want this?
>>289516883That's every anime ever made in the last 15(?) years.
I'm loving every minute
>>289516592It's a fantasy in cyberspace
>>289517255But the soul?If you become a cyborg, you are just a ghost in the shell.
>>289517367There is no distinction between having an organic body and a robot body from the perspective of the soul.
>>289516820that's a lot of opinion for someone who admits to not having watched it at all
>>289516543>utter garbage like nukitashishit taste
>>289517546I can watch all kinds of porn without lazy Hollywood politics any time and plenty of porn with
>>289516463It's better than I dared hope. Visually and aurally gorgeous, and the retro character designs bring back a lot of personality that's been filed down over time.
>>289516463It does a great job capturing the rare comedic moments that were in SAC while still maintaining the atmosphere that made me fall in love with GitS in the first place. I'm loving it bros.
>>289516463I really don’t understand why people on here don’t like it unless they are just mentally ill contrarians. The first episode could maybe have slowed the pacing down a bit, but other than that it’s been good so far.
>>289516555wtf
>>289518329I actually liked the breakneck exposition pace of the first episode compared to the fucking glacial pace of all the standard isekai slop I've been watching for the better part of a year. Heavy Knight being the worst one (pacing-wise) so far. It sounds cheesy but having to read so quickly and keep up adds to the atmosphere and immersion.
>>289516463It's embarrassingly gynocentric. All the men are old, ugly and useless in a fight. They just stand around and talk while invincible ninja lesbian does everything. I prefer Edgerunners.
I really enjoyed how this asshole was a random mook and didn't even get a name but he had his moment where he was just about took out all of Section 9 singlehandedly
>>289518453They foreshadowed it in dialogue?>everybody else is laughing at a security guard having that much mall ninja military hardware>only Motoko suspects he's a real veteran
>>289518400Having to read so quickly breaks it since I'm pausing every 3 seconds trying to process all the jargon being thrown at me.
>>289518532>>289518453I like how it just makes sense that the head of security in a government secret facility is a true Adam Smasher tier professional who solos Motoko's entire team and she only wins because of a freak coincidence. It makes the world more believable, they wouldn't hire an amateur for this job. And it also shows us in the very first chapter that Major is not a Mary Sue unstoppable badass just because she's the main character, if she's outclassed or if she fucks up she has to deal with the consequences
>>289516543The only reason for the politics is to explain why Section 9 gets assigned to a case. You can pretty much ignore it.>>289519114Shirow says he intentionally had Motoko make one mistake in every case just to show that she isn't invincible.
Shit they deleted the leaks discord channel now I'm waiting here like a fucking pleb
Anybody have a link to the second episode? I haven't seen it yet.
>>289519780https://www.amazon.com/THE-GHOST-IN-SHELL/dp/B0GZCWN8M2/
>>289516463No, too censored
>>289516463>heavily censored>faithful to a shitty manga>even less serious than its source materialNot enjoyable, except from action scenes. But even them got fucked up by weird exposotion choices that, surprisingly, differed from the manga.
If Science Saru hired a Motoko Kusanagi cosplayer to come and bounce on your dicks you faggots would complain she's not heavy enough.
>>289518532I thought it was Ishikawa who insisted their hardware was government-grade.
>>289516463Censored
>>289516463It looks horrible, definitely more retarded than the manga, art is digital slop with barely any line variation if any and typical paper doll animations. Censored anywayActual goy slop
>>289520278what's your point? people shouldn't complain about anything?
Most of /a/'s complains are just complains for the sake of complains, with barely any substantial criticisms to work with. Hell, most of them just reveal they're newfags who have never even read the manga.
>>289520585No it's that you're Mamoru Oshii grognards and '26 GiTS is still the best it's been in 24 years
>>289516463>Has the anime delivered according to your expectations?Unlike most other people who were excited about this anime, I came in with zero expectations and think it's okay so far. What sucks for this adaptation is that I'm also watching SAC for the first time at the same time that I'm watching this, and I'm finding myself more eager to see more of SAC than more of this. Also something about GITS '26 is rubbing me the wrong way, I think it's how it looks like an anime from the 90's which are aesthetically all the rage among larpers right now.
>>289520403Batou's always looked like a dopey retarded gorilla and that's why he's the GOAT.
>>289520697SAC is Dai Sato in his prime, its unironically one of the best examples of anime as just an animated crime serial
>Meet coworker at new job>We get to start watching anime together>Show him Outlaw Star and it blows him away>Show him SAC and by the 2nd episode we were both in manly tears mode>dude then tells me he is moving away cuz he got his chick pregnant. Ill never forget the positive feeling of knowing i had 2 more seasons to watch with him then followed by \\sense of loselast time i had a anime friend, shieeet tht was about 10 years or more ago...
The only thing I don't like is how each episode has each foot in a different chapter so it's all broken up. People would probably complain less about the breakneck pace if each episode concluded properly.
>>289519778Go back.
>>289517399>>289517367So where is this "soul", this "ghost" located?The body? Is it physical? Is it in your CNS? Your brain?
>>289521477Go back to what shit eater I've been right here for 23 years.
>>289520697There is an uncanny valley that makes it look like a cartoon that apes 90s anime, i blame the use of color they choose
>>289521580Lymph nodes
>>289521580The soul or indeed, yes, ghost in classical Christian theology is an emergent property of human life enshrined in the moment the living cells of your parents fuse to create the germ of a new life, and in the sense that GiTS cyberization draws a line between a brain in a container driving around a prosthetic body and androids, yes, the brain.
>>289521580>Your brain?Do NOT remind of this shit PLEASE.
This is the first Ghost in the Shell I've ever seen and they really don't explain shitIt caught me offguard when they flat out murdered the girl in the car with them and then just went "she was a robot lol" and then they show the boss and he's just got six more of her working at desks
>>289521593Stop playing dumb and go back.
>>289521678What's wrong, anon?Genuinely one of my favorite twists in scifi, both the times he pulled it off
>>289516463So in Stand Alone Complex when Motoko is killed and ends up on the internet how does she manage to keep her personality and memories intact?The Laughing Man even told her that it was pretty much impossible to do and he, who was a far better hacker than her, could never manage it.
>>289521870after you're gone
>>289521824It's less his twists I have conflict with and more Kishiro's handling of internal conflicts, pacing, how we transition from one chapter to the next, etc. Like, Gorilla Hitler should not have given Alita so much internal grief, especially over the most overused trope around (and the "resolution" to this conflict is both infuriating and hilarious).The first time he pulled off the brainfunny is a good example of all my feelings about Alita. There was time spent building up this world, getting you connected to these cool characters, and setting up great questions about them and their connection to this world. Like why did Ido leave/get kicked out of Zalem? Why are you still alive? Etc, etc. Then before we get the chance to do more with the character, we completely throw away the ability to follow up on that but at the same time introduce an insane plotline that's really cool and makes me want to keep reading.Genuinely impressed Last Order even bothered to follow up some long-standing questions and go crazy with the world building, which is why I could stand a lot of its dumber decisions. Couldn't do it for Mars Chronicle, though. I did like its opening at least.
Could you inspect your own dick, /a/?
>>289520943They pretty clearly did the whole thing as a single 4 hour movie then just sliced it up evenly
>>289522550>single 4 hour movieShould've released this and called it Ghostfellas
I really, really like the art style. I hope retro anime makes a comeback.I always disliked the manga though, especially Motoko!s moe personality. So it's not for me, I prefer SAC's more serious time. But I'm glad it exists for people who wanted a manga adaptation, it seems fine at doing that for the moment.
>>289521843She accepted the cookies
been pretty okay
>>289516463Total bing bang zesty banger!
>>289516555That's some major man-spreading right there...
Gentlemen BEHOLD. I found a way to piss everyone off!
>>289521580>>289521824Who cares :)
>>289516463Yeah it's pretty fucking outstanding. My expectations are greatly exceeded and I'm very much looking forward to the rest to come out. A lot of people trying to ruin the threads though. Or maybe just one schizo.
>>289516463>people been telling me this is the best series of all time>is not even better than Youjo SenkiSigh...
>>289523640why is she a rat(?)
>>289520585Just don't complain about retarded shit because you're incapable of liking new things.
>>289523762It's tactical
>>289516555Would you be ok with her being your hotgf?
>>289523640Still would
>>289523754It's not for you. But while I enjoy both, This anime is a better adaptation than Youjo Senki's.
>>289516463No, it is shit.
>>289516463
>>289523754This. I don't even like Youjo Senki since it has no gore and no one ever dies, what a pussy depiction of fantasy WW2.
>>289516463Was Major being born without a organic body also a thing in the manga like it was in the anime?
>>289524497>like it was in the anime?The fuck it was.
>>289519780Its on animepahe
>>289524509I forgot if it was in Innocence or Arise
>>289524566Innocence is set after 1995 movie continuity where Major fused with Puppet Master and became information live-formArise tells her plane crash story as a kid and constantly changing cyborg bodies to new sizes since she was like 6 years old
>>289524603I remember that she comes back to the place where she and some orphans used to be raised as a kid, fuck I need to rewatch the older GiTS because I barely remember jackshit
>>289524497>>289524566>>289524603>>289524624It's from the final movie in the Arise continuity.
>>289523640Hyperactive rat monkey Major is making me feel things I don't want to feel.
>>289516463As far as anime budget and expected sex censorship, yea.
>>289516820>uh guys manga expert here..
>>289516463It's mogged by an anime about catrgirls smoking way too much and shooting up heroin
>>289516463I didn't know mokoto could be made hotter but she was.
>>289521843Motoko was just puppeting another body from afar.
>>289524603>Arise tells her plane crash story as a kid and constantly changing cyborg bodies to new sizes since she was like 6 years oldNo that's her origin story in SAC.In Arise her mother died while pregnant of her and they cyborged the foetus.
>>289526284Well I'm never watching that dumb bullshit Arise then.
>>289520028Didn't the manga rip off appleeed.
I just want to know what Batou's first name is. Personally I think it's Bob
Finally finished the first episode. I liked it. The mix of goofiness and seriousness is nice, artstyle is very pretty and colors are yummy. Can't say anything about plot yet because it was their first mission but it wasn't bad at least. Unfortunately Maaya sounds like Shiki Ryougi for me instead of Motoko. But it's not a big deal.I noticed that they like to call every part of their equipment or body and it gives me a video game impression.I think the move is better but this show is still great. Absolutely don't understand all hate.What is /a/ verdict?
>>289521843You shouldn't be on your phone when watching an anime older than 5 years ago.
>>289526379Btw is there full height pic of her cyborg body?Man, I miss anime cyberpunk so much
>>289516820>I haven't watch it yet butat least you were smart enough to lead with this so you can let everyone know no one should give a fuck what you think
>>289516555Keep posting that censored shit that's the only thing that anime going to be remember for. This just shows The anime community now days is too retarded to understand the 95 movie and 2002 anime.
>>289526547>Posting an even more censored anime.At least try if you're gonna troll.
>>289526588The goofiness doesn't fit the setting of ghost in the shell. That's why it's different in the 95 movie and 2002 anime. Like i said before the anime community is too retarded to understand deep complex art anime anymore.
>>289516820>the old manga had goody moments but it was just standard amount, it was still more seriousWhy are you trying to bait with this shit again?
>anime only's having a little cry again
>there is no more passion behind baits anymore What went wrong?
>>289526731>Like i saidSo you did.
>>289526769Inflation and desensitization.
>>289526146Catgirl protect anime industry from this and the propaganda anime.
>>289527103
>>289526731Look man you might be fully self aware and that why you don't like fun but I don't take myself seriously and I've discussed and talked about GIST for nearly 15 years. It's for fun not everything has to be serious I get enough of that from real life.
>>289516524This. Oshii saved the source.
Never watched any of it and the more idiotic posts i see like op the less interest i have in this, it might be great, it might be trash idk just saying the idiots that are enamoured like that are disgusting and off putting.
>>289526731I don't believe you've actually watched SAC, which was plenty goofy, and the setting is defined by the manga if anything, which was plenty goofy. You are such an obvious troll, you should really go away and train in the mountains for a bit before you come back and try again, because this isn't meeting the standard.
>>289523640where does that fit on this gits influence chart?
Why did they made her lesbian. Was she an old dude before putting her brain into the shell?
>>289527229>Why did they made her lesbian.You will not survive Section1 boyfriend.
Is that mistranslation? The next dialogue makes sense only if they talked about her body abilities instead of some gun stats.
>>289527278its about cyborgs insane ability to accurately shoot even snub revolvers at high speed. I watch some guntubers and this really depends on quality of the barrel. You can shoot them very accurately. Fast though is another matter.
>>289516555Censored shit that's not even hot. I'm going to beat you retard with a Rusty old pipe.
>>289527318Sit on that pipe instead, faggot. Who the fuck expected uncensored lesbian sex in TV anime?
>>289527318Im surprised major likes anal
>>289527331i meanlook at what else we've been getting
>>289527347>look at what else we've been gettingLike?
>>289527365i don't wanna have to dig up the utena sayo webm

>>289516463>Has the anime delivered according to your expectations?Lol noMade me rewatch SoC though
>>289527712>SoC
>>289527611reddit hates this show because it's an allegory that man is beast
>>289527427Why doesn't she just sell her raunchy body? Surely she can earn 1 pack a day.
Imagine how much it will hurt to see the terrible Saruslop rendition of the hacker shooting scene. It's like some kind of reverse humiliation ritual.
>>289528476What was wrong with Ghost Controller cyborg shooting scene, for example?
>>289528502he had a big nose and that makes me uncomfortable as an Israeli person
>>289528538blame Shirow, not Sciencssaruthere is supposed to be a Mossad conspiracy later on too
>>289516463So what is this exactly?I never watched/read any ghost in the shell before.Do you need to watch the movies before you can watch this?
>>289528800it's a 1:1 adaption of the manga story
>>289528800>So what is this exactly?GItS 2026 is very close adaptation of source material: manga.Previous adaptations took significant liberties in both plot and styling.1995 movie & SAC seasons are worth watching. Everything else is meh.There is no particular order, you can start watching older stuff while waiting for new 2026 episodes coming out.
IMPORTANT QUESTIONHow reliably are the DEI (dividual) episodes for Standalone Complex 2nd marking the "standalone" episodes that are not in the compilation movie/OVA?So far it feels like half of them were actually included in the movie (watched up to EP10)
>>289528800You don't need to watch anything first. It's a post-cyberpunk world where super hacker spec ops detective/SWAT people fight cyberterrorism with robot spider tanks and AI operator ladies. It's pretty cool. As others have said it's meant to be a faithful adaptation to the manga, which hasn't happened before.The 1995 movie is great, but I'd recommend you wait until after this to watch it.GITS:SAC you can watch any time. Before, during, after, won't matter. It's a whole different continuity and completely different story really. 2nd Gig, the second season, is also good.Personally, I'm thinking eventually I will like SAC > 2026 > 1995, but I really like all of them. There's a bunch of other stuff that's not really that good.
>>289528845>>289528890Thanks for letting me know.I am gonna watch the mamoru oshii stuff and SAC eventually, but I'll follow this weekly for now.
>>289529164Good plan.
What the fuck?? First Ilya and now THIS?? What the HECK were they THINKING?!
spoonfeed
Episode is up in Nyaa
UOHHHHH! I DOWNLOADED THE EPISODE BEFORE ANYONE ELSE DID!...ok it's 77%
>>289529318I admire the timing of this bait
>>289527208Its a scene from stand alone complex clearly. Don't you remember Major eating a bucket of raw clams and then drunkenly hitting on the rest of SS9 until they lock her in a dog crate?
Why do Tachi-- I mean, Fuchikoma call Major "yessir"
>>289526325Same mangaka, dumbass.
>VIOLENCE ISN'T THE ANSWER!!!
>>289520697Watch Patlabor 2, is a Tom Clancy novel animated, with a bit of mech stuff.
Holy fuck....I expected to be disappointed but this was far more than I imaginedOshii turned coal into diamonds
>>289529451Fuchikomas are Indian basterds.
is this a remake or your typical Japanese bait-and-switch "secretly a sequel" anime reboot?
>>289516463I quit watching halfway through the second episode and rewatched 95 and Innocence instead. Glad I never read the manga desu.
I feel sad for the people who only knew the Oshii-wank version of GitS, and not the real deal.
It's honestly fascinating how a manga by Masamune Shirow led to one of the cyberpunk staples by Mamoru Oshii, which in turn led to The Matrix and it all can be considered a long chain of events that formed what is a huge influence for the modern cyberpunk genre and now the loop is closing with the return to the manga by Shirow but this time it's in an animated form with modern technology.
Man I forgot this airs an hour earlier than I'm used to.
red pants blocked by fiber paper
Shit this is so cool.
>>289529728New best girl.
I think the Fuchikomas are evil
>>289527204If SAC was plenty goofy why did they make the new anime more goofy? SAC had plenty.
>>289529663>the loop is closing Because people are realizing the original manga wasn't as good as the later iterations and what it inspired? If you like the new show the loop would reset and start a new loop or "loop back" according to your analogy.
>>289529826It's about the same level of goof. You just didn't understand it before so you thought it was more serious.
>>289529897No one in their right minds or who isn't shitposting would ever say the manga was uninspired. But later iterations are just much more muscular works of sci-fi with arguably a much more appropriate tone. I don't think this is unfair at all to say.
the beginning of the ep feels like animated by guest animators
major and her yuri polyculeBASEDBASEDYURI BROSWE FUCKING WONNED!
>>289529990We're out of start of season animation bonus, expect shortcuts and subcontracted work until episode 6.
Final art made by Gundam designer
>>289529937Same level of goof, but SAC had better execution and balanced the goof better. The original manga and the new show balance goof with brutal fights and technology being extremely dubious in design and use considering how advanced it has become. SAC framed technology as a tool for corporate control of public opinion, sabotage solutions that can only benefit the common person, and government organizations playing nice with the corruption because the situation was too complicated to explain to the public without causing mass hysteria. Also the term Stand Alone Complex literally describes people impersonating celebrities, mass shooters, and revolutionaries before such a thing hit critical mass in the real world.
>>289530024Huh? What about the stonetoss endcard?
Can't wait for a version with the footnotes subbed, Amazon can't sub for shit this episode.
>>289529603Insanely high test energy
>>289529811Beautiful
>>289529990It was! All my friends from all over not-Japan worked on it! And they also used the finest AI for assistance!
>>289530053Manga embodies 90s well.Sac embodies 00s well.
>>289516592She's covered in oil
>>289530024>>289529318I liked the Major pic more, why did they replace it in the English stream release?
>>289530024Fuchikoma a cute
>>289530121Technical limitation, they can't put more than one sub on the screen at a time. Something they could easily fix but they just don't care.
Pre-OP fight was kinda ass. Reminded me of new Birdy adaptation. But episode ended on a good point.
>>289530176Supposedly, this guest illustrator is a bit controversial in the West.
FORCED ANIMATION
GitS 2026 feels like the episodes don't really have much structure to them. The characters just do stuff, which makes it pretty challenging to follow. I like the animation and OST though
>>289530232eh she's in a moving tank
>>289529990The first 3 minutes have a special credits list attributed to it. Bahi JD directed, boarded and supervised it, and also brought some guest animators to animate it.
>>289520697The Laughing Man is just a better story and is way more relatable than some AI gaining sentience. It's not insane to believe that a cure for some disease can be found then buried by corporate greed.
>>289529897>Because people are realizing the original manga wasn't as good as the later iterations and what it inspired?For me it's the other way around. I saw the movie first, then bought the manga, and enjoyed the manga so much more. Not that the movie is bad. If I didn't enjoy the movie, I wouldn't have bought the manga. But the manga had so much more. I loved SAC too, because it was way more like the manga compared to the movie. Innocense was different, but also enjoyable. And I enjoy the new anime because it is so much like the manga as well.Hell, there were even parts of SAC2045 and Arise that I found enjoyable, eventhough overall it was trash. The only thing I couldn't enjoy was the live action movie. That was complete shit. It felt like the people that made that movie had no idea what GITS was about.
>>289520767Unfathomably based. CCC is probably my favorite episode.
>>289530204That's why I hope some fansubbers give us more accurate subs later down the line. The footnotes were pretty important this episode.
Is the corrupted mustache guy Akio Otsuka?
this major sure is greedy
>>289529318Chat is this real?
>>289530232Cute gremlin spec ops team leader.
>>289527318all of that shit makes zero sense without the notes explaining what it all means.
>>289530374Well Commie has picked up the show if you're willing to wait a few extra hours
>>289530382By that, I mean him >>289530400
>>289530400What a deplorably shitty character she was in the original manhwa
>>289530400Her girlfriends are needy.
>>289523640I read Aramaki's part with his dub voice.
>>289530408I'll probably collect their release when the show is over. Thanks for reminding me.
>>289523640>Yinglet gits fanartThe internet is a fascinating place.
>>289530433true, Major should be have no personality and be stoic all the time
Great episode. A bit front-loaded in terms of action, which was awesome, but some more of that philosophical seriousness coming in towards the end. Bunch of stuff I want to make webms of but don't have time for now unfortunately. Maybe other people will beat me to most of it and post it.I think the overall pacing is good, and will make more sense when the whole thing is out. These first three episodes really are just setting the stage for the main story, and some world-building needs to happen also. Really good OST.Anyway, Robot Rondo next week. If you know, you know.
>>289530399This ass is kinda sad. Where are the hip bones?
>>289530019Already in episode 3. The "blue CRT screen" filter segment during the action piece in the first half was absolutely a production shortcut. They had some of the principle animation done but not enough time to finish the segment to a complete polish.
>>289528800You don't need to watch anything first. The beauty of GITS is that every work is like a different universe that are all a different take on the source material. You should watch the GITS: Stand Alone Complex series. That's an excellent series. If you enjoy that, you'll probably enjoy the other stuff too.
little pieces of shit
>>289530534Yeah reminded me of Birdy 2008 robots fight scene where everyone suddenly went low-polygon.
>>289520697SAC has the better story. I think most people would agree. The major case in that is just the best of them, and there's some great minor cases as well. But I'm still really enjoying this new anime. It's visually great, sounds great, it's pretty fun all around. Of course I've already seen SAC, so the mystery of it doesn't hold as much weight for me anymore. Not that I don't know how this anime will go either, but I don't yet know how exactly they'll do everything in it. There's room for style. I am looking forward to it every week.
>>289530400>Bad Major, greedy Major
Really needs a dedicated international release that has the japanese lore blurbs replaced with English
If anyone has a gif or mp4 of the fuchis dancing I'd really appreciate it.
>>289530534Shortcuts are always going to be a reality in any production. There's compromises in everything. Always will be. It's how those are handled that really matters. I think in this, it was visually quite interesting and a fun way to do it. I enjoyed the surprise of it and the whole sequence was great.
>>289530154Some of the stuff SAC is referencing happened in the 90s. Masumune Shirow was born in 1961 and the original manga came out 1989. How could he capture "the 90s" when the GITS manga was written before the 90s had even begun?

Holy shit, the translation is atrocious, pure reddit cancer. Or is it just close captioned from the dubshit? Either way, I hate the modern anime experience.

>>289530871They have identical nipples. Uncanny.
>>289530904I just hate that literally 10% of the notes get translated for some dumb ass reason. The entire second half of this episode was choke full of 'em and we only got like two lines about Fuchikoma and their AI sharing programs.
>>289530943that sure is some strong ammunition
>>289529995FUCK THIS SHIT!SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO FUCK BATOU!AND SUCK HIS DICK!AND LICK HIS ASSHOLE!AND KISS HIS FEET!
Terrible episode. Anyone who watched the 1995 movie can tell that this is basically Jesus (right) to Jesus (left). And it's an extra appropriate analogy because "muh faithful adaptation" = "original Jesus was Black actually therefore the "original portrait" here is invalid!" (same low IQ argument).
To all my brothers who've been waiting for a manga adaptation since forever I just want to say that I'm so glad to see us live to watch this. I can't stop grinning from ear to ear like an idiot while watching this show.
>>289530998to be fair I translated them and they don't say anything important
>>289531042This but unironically.
>>289530953I'm not sure if pessimistic is the right word. More like "nervous", like we were anticipating something apocalyptic. But it was an optimistic delusion throughout, best represented by Fukuyama's The End of History and the Last Man.
>>289531031maybe with +P FMJ out of a long barrel, and 100 rounds

Shartrannies and sawful really hates this anime, incredible.
>>289516463I like it just fine, but it's really demonstrating the problem with 1:1 adaptations - it's kind of redundant.

>>289531673>I could empty my magazine into her, if you follow my thought.
>>289516463I'm dropping the new series after this third episode. For laughs and giggles while we were streaming it, we went back and watched the garbage truck chase scene in the original movie. It wasn't just a night and day difference: it's about purposedly shit on something to ruin it, exactly like Hollywood does. Science Saru is sabotaging Ghost in the Shell for their own ends, so fuck them.They and their fanboys use the original manga's use of super deformed reactions as a cover. Saying "it was in the manga", then following it up mendaciously with "then I can fucking put it all over the show, make it the focus point". In short, they inverted object and background. The Ghost in the Shell's main object was deadly serious and straight, like in the movie and SAC: but in the background, in small reaction panels, you could also see some super deformed. Instead they turned it around, and it's become a wacky SD show with a few scifi elements thrown in. Total inversion. Total subversion.

>>289532408>adults are talkingYeah, real adult stuff you need to announce it like a child. Maybe, just maybe, the original manga was extremely juvenile except for the scattered sci-fi flavored philosophical conversations and later iterations were better at balancing humor, characters, and plot than the very first time Shirow put pen to paper. Things can improve over time you know? Or have you given up on the very idea of position progression?

>>289532556>I'm not immatureAgain, announcing it like a child. The point is "fun and deep" need to be balanced and SAC did it perfectly while Shirow's rough, spastic story pacing and characters clearly needed more time to hone and garner a more sophisticated appeal.

>>289532588>it's not important to me therefore it shouldn't matter to anyone elseThis is how retarded you sound. Calling something arbitrary or nebulous is admitting you have no way of arguing against the point so you simply dismiss it entirely. Concession accepted.
>>289532696It was the first anime they ever watched that didn't feel like anime. Westerners that are ashamed of enjoying anime and want to feel like watching an "adult" show somehoe makes them one. The same type of people who went crazy for death note, AoT etc
>>289532696I don't like the movies but I like sac.
>>289531863Because it very unlikely to be real? Why Stonetoss drew the same pose as Ilya when the committee had planned for months in advance and also asked the end card illustrators months before to work on? They wouldn't be able to see each others' works during the time.Could add more and more questions that will never get real answers. And faking it will AI slop is so easy nowadays.
>>289532696Wrong as can be. I'm a cook, not a Colonel.Furthermore, my first anime was obviously Pokemon and Digimon, like every other late 80s / early 90s girl. Finally, I haven't even rewatched Bebop, and there are maybe 2-3 episodes I still recall as good. Outlaw Star mogs.*drops the voice amplitude enhancing modulator*
>>289532696SAC is better than the 1995 movie and this "new" direct adaptation. Anyone bringing up a movie in comparison to a series is a shitposter, but anyone thinking criticism of the "new" show comes from solely 1995fags is also a shitposter. That's you.
I think the reason Oshi's take on the source material worked so well is because he focused on the little philosophical quandries that get touched on briefly in this episode and makes that the entire point of the film, and that suits his contemplative directing style. He sacrificed a lot of the charm of the original but he made something more out of the parts he chose to work with. The chase scene from this episode and the last is maybe the most iconic scene from the film, but all I could think about while watching this episode was the same interrogation scene from the film where they talk about simulated memories. The idea of implanting memories and what that means for a person's own sense of self and grip on reality is fascinating the think about. The scene from the film really conveys the gravity of the situation in a way that gets under my skin. The whole film has a dreamlike quality to it that matches that feeling of confusion. This episode is obviously in keeping with the manga, which is nice it's own way - that you can have this kind of black humour where reality-breaking sci-fi tech is a problem in the lives of everyone and they just have to complain about it and get on with things whenever something crazy happens - but it does leave a little bit to be desired. Personally I think this panel from the manga does a better job than the anime of conveying the weight of the same scene in a single image. There's so much you could do with this one throwaway character and his situation. It's interesting to think about.Completely unrelated but I love how cute the fuchikomas are in this. Anway, sorry for rambling.
>>289532810Can you preface your long post with an upvote or downvote for the 2026 anime so I know if you're a chud before I read all that?
>>289532810>Personally I think this panel from the manga does a better job than the anime of conveying the weight of the same scene in a single imageThis, I can agree with. Saru's adaptation is not *bad* but it's not as good as the manga either.
>>289532867I will when I've finished watching it.
>>289532810>comparing a single standalone movie to a seriesWhy do this?
>>289530953Early 90s literally had the japanese financial bubble burst with decades of consequences. It's hardly optimistic for japanese people.
At least this episode confirms that cyborgs have genitals>>289531934higher sensitivity for lesbian porn>>289530782That's all stuff they add later. The cyborgs didn't have nips in that scene in the manga either
>>289532896Then you're a chud secondary. Real fans of /a/ would already say they're loving this faithful adaptation.
>>289532933I thought that was in 97-98 crisis.
>>289532944NTA but I'm the biggest manga defender and I don't think Saru's adaptation is very good. I like the *idea* of a faithful adaptation, but I don't agree with every single choice on how they *executed* it.

Poor Batou, he got all dressed up for the dance and got no action.
>Oshii ruined perception of GitS so now the manga, the LITERAL SOURCE MATERIAL, and its direct adaptation are now seen as badit's Patlabor all over again

So to sum up, it seems that posters who are trans love the 2026 and posters wjo aren't don't like it.

Why is she like this?
>>289534366Is that jack black?
>>289516463It’s weird, so yeah.
>>289533287I saw now, anon.
>>289534694>they call it "experimenting" and all young women do thatThat deosn't really fit what Motoko is doing.
It's really interesting that Oshii turned episode 2 and 3 into the movie. It's probably one of the biggest shifts in tone in media
>>289516463>according to your expectations?I expected it to be a considerable tone shift previously only found in the tachikoma ova's, and so far it has been pretty much that. Might finally get a decent adaptation of the overarching story of the puppetmaster, but I would've rather it had been done by Kamiyama or Oshii as part of a movie or season whatever of stand alone complex.
I see what people are talking about with the tone now. The conversation about ghosts and brains didn't feel heavy at all and it's made light of at the end of the scene.Did the manga handle it better?
>>289534718Are you forbidden from imagining something ever-so-slightly different from your perceived reality? Do I need to animate a version of that scene in the style of the manga myself before you can string two seperate pieces of information together in your brain and fill in the gaps? What are we even arguing about here?
>>289533213>No actual woman wants this.>>289534841>That deosn't really fit what Motoko is doing.Don't move goalposts.
>>289534916Don't write generalised bullshit then.
>>289534903>Are you forbidden from imaginingSo you made it all the fuck up? Got it.
>>289534758>1262x710>white bar across the tophow do you fuck up this badly?
>>289534888It's not supposed to feel heavy, the tone is exactly what it was aiming for, action comedy that asks some interesting questions. The author doesn't want you to feel depressed, he wants you to entertain those philosophical questions and have fun at the same time
>>289533213>This is an AGP fantasy. No actual woman wants this.>>289534943>Don't write generalised bullshit then.Take your own advice, retard.
>>289532088are there any autist people fixing this? or even posting the notes somewhere
>>289535020Like I said take a dick in your mouth and stop posting your patronising bullshit nobody belives in.
>>289534292I agree with you on all points, I too am dropping this.See you next week.
>>289534946Yes. What exactly is your point?
Which uploader do you usually choose?
>>289535060>nobody belives in.Take bandwagon out of your mouth and speak for yourself, faggot. You said "no actual woman", which is exactly a generalized bullshit. Then moved goalposts to "It's not Major' situation".Female homosexuality isn't even in the bible: they all "experiment" in college. Shut the fuck up and take the L already.
>>289535000I don't think that's very compatible then. It'd work better to give the questions space to sink in and partition the comedy to other scenes.
>>289534366Oh yeah, I forgot about him. Shirow likes to reuse his designs, though I don't think he appears in any of the Dominion manga. Could be wrong about that.
>>289535123>What exactly is your point?That you really don't have any.>>289535149>better to give the questions space to sinkJingle Jingle Jingle! Do you want subway surfers at the bottom too?
Which episode is it in that Motoko becomes the Ghost in the Shell?

I'm indifferent to this iteration. Which is far better than the last couple of releases. SAC2045 was alright if you could get past the animation and design from that sameface russian guy.>>289534903The point of making an anime out of a manga was using it as a storyboard and revising it/adapting it to the medium. Shirow has an interview where he talks about this and why the movies and SAC work so well when people asked what eh thought about how different they were. I think there's one where, barring a translation error, he even claims that a 1:1 adaptation wouldn't really work, just read the damn manga if you want the original story.
>>289528581Isn’t the Israeli conspiracy in Appleseed, or am I misremembering?
>>289532207The perfect comparison to nu-GITS would be the Shining tv movie. Stephen King wrote the original mediocre novel and when director Stanley Kubrick picked it up, he turned it upside down and elevated it tremendously. The hack writer seethed about it for 20 years, openly shitting on Kubrick. Until he finally got to direct a tv adaptation himself, and got laughed out the door because of how crass and cheap it was. A show is good or bad on its merits, not because it's more or less of a photocopy.
>>289533464HUEHUEHUE
>>289535197The Bible is open to interpretation.
It does feel like I both do and do not really need to pay attention to most of the details in this. I’m not sure why they needed to give us some facts on some of the process of making a cyborg body, I doubt I’ll need to remeber any of that info but it was neat in the moment and the nurse was cute, and her sex friend apparently along with the cyborg they were working on in that bit.
>>289535234Yeah if you ever partook in obscure activity of "going outside" and "socializing" in high school/college, you would know that at every party, after 2 cocktails, there is a hoe eating another hoe' mouth. Women have absolutely no homo brakes.
>>289535276>SAC2045 was alrightit was terrible dogtrashdon't tell me I have to school you on this again
>>289535357Maybe girls in my country aren't as retarded like in USA then.
>>289535291>he doesnt like lesbo actionFOUND THE FAGGOTDING DING DING DING
>>289535186My point was that you can, in fact, compare manga panels to frames of animation. If it's a still shot you can compare the composition of each, the linework of each, the use of colour or lack thereof in contrast with the solid black and white of manga. You can compare artstyles and character designs. You can compare the lighting, the shading, the level of detail. If it's an inbetween frame during motion then those comparisons might be few and thin, but you can still compare differences between mediums in broader strokes, and not by direct one-to-one comparison. Are you going to refute this?
>>289535424filtered the retard. lmao.
Just you wait until Gigguk or TrashTaste cover this in the "are remakes good" episode. Haters gonna lose!
>>289533091Listen I am mainly here for cute Makoto pics, minus the red border
>>289535434Where are those comparisons? Surely you can do as much instead of typing in all that drivel.
>>289535426Girls are retarded everywhere, your country ain't special.
>>289535291I don't get your point, this adaptation has been good so far and the previous entries in the Oshii movies and the SAC seasons from 2002-4 were also good.Shirow never seethed about the adaptations either.it's different from the shining tv movie which was badly directed by a bad director
>>289535276If you're seriously implying 2045 was better than Arise you may have brain damage.
>>289530782Is there something going on in Japan recently because I’ve watched multiple recent anime that completely removed nipples.
>>289535446I will literally just give you my post again if you want.Provided you actually explain what is supposedly salvageable about the trash that is 2045 anyway.All this time you've never given a good argument for its defense, it's always just been "hurr it gets good 2nd half" without explaining why, or why the retarded AI newtype inf. tsukuyomi plot is supposed to be at all interesting.
>>289535504no, arise is tolerable as well. I was referring to the scarjo adaptation.
>>289535547Not either of the two anons you're talking to but Arise was tolerable, 2045 wasn't.
>>289535511The fathers and hags association are up to their old tricks again.

>>289535504Nta but SAC 2045 was at least very memeable

I had sex with Motoko agaim. She said hi to /a/.
>>289535632with her and her 2 gfs right?
>>289535632I'd rather fuck operator-chan than Motoko.
>>289535589I know you're being facetious rn but the whole see you next week thing has been said for the longest time because fags that would actually tell of their dropping something almost never do and remain to shit up discussion in succeeding airings.Actual droppers just drop shit with no attention seeking.
>>289535547I thought ARISE was meh and just shortervSAC with revised stories..... until the twist at the end.
>>289535647Of course.

Why did previous adaptations make Motoko so unsexy and unattractive?
>>289535758Great, so she won't be nagging you about drape colors
>>289535758She's government property.
>>289535758If she can walk herself to the shower - she's good enough for me.

I was dissapointed when the Major landed on the metal roof of the building and it didn't crumple.The impact decal and debris falling off made no sense.
>>289536216What?
>>289535861What about the live action?
>>289535597Textbook example of 'so bad it's good'.
>>289535837>>289535841God I love her hair, I’d order one
>>289535466I already said what I would do here >>289534518If you need me to compare the scene in the anime to this one panel, then I would say that there wasn't a single shot in the whole scene that was as effective as the panel I'm on about (speaking purely in terms of composition). The scene was used to give exposition about the puppet master, and as a result, it traded the one-way mirror for a surveillance camera. The major behind the mirror (which frames the other characters) and everyone else imposing over the victim of the false memory implant, in tandem with the harsh solid black background, add to the sense of crushing weight that is exactly what the character is feeling as he's hunched over in the interrogation room, coming to terms with his reality being false. The emotion is conveyed very well in a single image. There's no reason why you wouldn't want to replicate it as a still shot in the anime. Even if it's only tagged on at the end, it would've been better than what we got - which was a series of close ups of the guy looking sad, and then of the other guys being quietly sympathetic. The surveilance footage was straight on - no perspective being used to convey the mood, or characters blocking, etc. Then after more exposition with the major, it cuts to the end of chapter gag with the guy working again the next day - which probably would've worked better being shuffled later down the line in the edit, if not as a post-credit scene. You read manga at your own pace, so it's up to the director and editor to decide how much attention is given to any single shot. There is nothing about the panel I originally posted that would've been too hard to replicate as a still shot with some minimal character animation, but even then, it would've worked as a still shot with no movement towards the end of the scene. No other shot in the anime conveyed the turmoil the guy must've been going through in such a visually striking and instantly communicable way.Happy?
>>289536391Show comparison of show with manga or fuck off with your verbal vomit already. Nobody's going to read it without illustrative arguments.
>>289536303I should've specifiedand now that I look, it probably isn't a metal roof. Never mind!
>>289536438I compared the two scenes you dumb fuck. It's your problem if you can't picture something in your head when you already have more than enough stimuli. Are you ready to consneed yet?
>>289536623Manga and anime are visual mediums. Who the fuck wants or needs your entirely arbitrary verbal vomit "comparison"? Do the page to frame comparison or shut the fuck up.
>>289536697Just read the words that I wrote and imagine it in your head you actual troglodyte. It's really not that hard.
>>289536912>Just read the words that I wrote and imagine it in your headWhat a solid argument.Now you've just give up and spout lowest-quality bait trying to outshitpost me. Concession accepted. Take your L and be on your way.
>>289536946You beat me at shitposting when you said>Comparing a manga panel to an animated scene is dumbProbably the most trite and vague argument you could have possibly come up with. You'll just spin it semantically until you don't have to admit you have no actual argument.
>>289537092NTA, but you talked so much about comparisons without actually posting any - I couldn't not call your bullshit out. I'm glad that I did. You're full of shit lmao.
