>>23856572Im glad they are actually attempting to adapt the manga and her characterization
I can't wait to see a massive influx of "Ghost in the shell fans, outraged to see it for the first time."
Smart money says they won't show nipple.
>>23857033Be original retard.
>>23857055DO NOT SUMMON HIM, don’t even invoke him
>>23856572I was all in on this from the first announcement and art and especially the first trailer with the cool electric guitar and it sucks that the newest trailer is catching the gooner fans with the ass shot and a version of the lesbian scene that they're not going to temper their expectations for.
>>23856572>display 3 lines of text for 0.25 secondsHow the fuck is anyone supposed to read any of those cards without pausing? Why would they do that?
>>23857066who?
>>23856572I'm glad they are actually attempting to adapt the manga and her characterization
>>23856572I wish they would have kept the music of the PSX game. Maybe this is more along the lines of what Shirow wants but it's more along the lines of '80s '90s OVA stuffs. >>23857166Nah we never really got to see it animated. Just adapted into the pretentious movie.
>>23856572I'll be happy to see this flop.Movie and SAC are peak GiTS and that will never change. Manga was never good btw.
>>23857076I want to believe this is bait but I know it isn't. Can you really not read a full sentence just by looking at the full thing at once? Am I a god?
>>23857187You can read ALL THIS in less than 1 second? I don't believe you.

>>23857055Hmmm?
>>23857298I’ll believe it when I see it.
>>23857166That’s not an “NPC” opinion, that’s coming from long time fans who have read the original manga. There’s been people waiting over two decades possibly three for a true faithful adaptation
>>23857166>>23857064
>>23857385>long time fans who have read the original mangaLmao
>>23856572God damn I really like the music. Not exactly 'manly jazz' but...'manly swing' maybe? I'm a bit of a musiclet and don't quite know how to describe it.
contrarians on 4chan have devolved to the point that you have people trying to bait and cry and whinge about a new GitS show that's more directly adapting the original manga, just because it's new. It's sad.
>>23857447you're acting as if the reaction wouldn't have been the same 15 years ago
>>23857450It wouldn't, no. Genuinely not and not to this level. You always had contrarians, but they used to not constitute the majority, at least in smaller boards like here.
>>23857459>You always had contrarians, but they used to not constitute the majorityUh, if they're the majority opinion, they're not contrarians by definition.
>>23857479They hold an opinion insincerely just to counter what they perceive to be the majority opinion rather than any judgement on the work itself. That means they're contrarian, even if in a place where they occupy the entirety of the population.
>>23857191It had been the same intro for the past 30 years. No one needs to actually read it
>>23857482>They hold an opinion insincerely just to counter what they perceive to be the majority opinion rather than any judgement on the work itself.You have genuine schizophrenia. How the fuck would you know what people do or don't "perceive" or whether or not their opinion is "sincere"? Maybe they just have a different opinion than you. In fact, being against an entirely imaginary enemy just because of what you think they "perceive" is actual, legitimate contrarianism, again by the word's textbook definition. If you don't like seeing opinions different to your own, for any reason, you need to go straight back to plebbit because clearly this website is not for you.
>>23857514Not that anon but ignoring the trolls what are your thoughts on the new show?
>>23857406Done dilating?
>>23857298That's the suit.
>>23857517It looks OK, I guess. I like the character designs and it does indeed seem like they're going to at least try to be faithful to the original, but the animation looks kind of cheap and I'm expecting a good deal of the fanservice to be taken out. If the lesbian orgy is represented accurately I'll eat my hat. I also think the coloring has the same issue a lot of other modern anime series, especially remakes of old shows (like the Ranma 1/2 reboot for example) have where it's a little too bright and flat and looks less detailed as a result. The music is nice. I don't have enough faith in Science Saru to hype something up without actually seeing a full episode first, but it could theoretically be good if they don't intentionally screw it up. I'd certainly like it to be good, but we'll see if it actually is when it's out. I was burned by PSG season 2 last year so I'm keeping my expectations well within the realm of possibility for this.
Ok, thats niceManga faithfull Appleseed soon, right?
>>23857479>/co/ shit >>23856572Doesn't look good.
>>23857529>but the animation looks kind of cheapThe animation, as in the movement, looked above average for a tv production. Probably the only decent thing in the whole trailer .>PSGPSG was never good. Flcl was the last decent anime Gainax has ever made.
>>23857033>this manga that's 9/10ths Shirou's schizobabble (not even counting 2) if you include the footnotes>what it's really about is the major and how she makes my peepee feel>that's really the fundamentals of ghost in the shellLook I argue for holistic adaptations all the time but you people are absurd.
>>23857406You can't be this foolish. I read the manga after seeing tank police when I was really young. I've wanted to see an actual anime adaptation of the original mongo for a very long time. More than half my life. I was very pleased with SAC and was happy to leave it at that. However this is very nice and I appreciate it.
>>23857576The manga is one of the first I ever read and I've always hated SAC and liked the first film.SAC feels like a compromise between two visions and never its own thing.SAC's also more plot driven I think which the manga/film aren't.
>>23857529I actually don't mind the coloring that much, it doesn't look any worse than your reaction images. I wish it was an ova so they used a lot more shading but the Batou shots looked pretty nice.
>>23857055>>23857299Isn't this being made by the same team that made Devilman Crybaby, which had full sex scenes in it?https://files.catbox.moe/zc7uul.gifhttps://files.catbox.moe/s39iny.gif>>23857526>That's the suit.And it still has nipples sticking out just like the movie, which means we will see nipple.
>>23857172>Manga was never good btw.Thanks for your shit opinion. More people should out themselves as trash so quickly.
this is /m/, talk about them
>>23857742You first, we're not your personal entertainment.
Since when did /m/ become /v/ with this kind of thread? I blame armored core 6
>>23857763It's the usual SaC and Manga at each other's throats, it's what you expect in a GiTs discussion, and it'll be even worse once the anime airs.
>>23857763>>23857769>check /v/ thread>buttsHow the fuck is this board so dead and GAY?
>>23857447No one is complaining that a new show is made, the criticisms are towards the people going "FINALLY MY FAVORITE MANGA THAT I NEVER READ IS COMING TO LIFE!!!! TAKE THAT MAMORU OISHI!!! SHIROW WHO?????"
>>23857792why do you have to assume no one read the manga
>>23857792freakin THIS. it annoys me so freakin much and those wannabe fake fan bastards need to pay the ultimate price. warriors like us need to make our stand here and now
>>23857800NTA, but people who talk like that are almost always secondaries with wikipedia knowledge trying to flex how "in the know" they are.
>>23857800>no one read the mangaBecause if they had they'd probably appreciate the adaptation as something keeping the franchise alive instead of coming to "correct" the previous iterations that are incredibly popular and beloved. Contrarians hating on a popular director or show are nothing new.
>>23857820I've read the manga multiple times, as well as appleseed and dominion, and I'm pretty hyped to finally have an adaptation that at the very least aesthetically hits close to that. I've loved shirow's art style (at least for that earlier stuff, I'm nostalgic for his later digital colouring but dunno how much I like them) for years and seeing a fairly close attempt at animating it is great. I think the colours are a bit off and the look is a bit too clean but still, I'm hyped enough to see how this goes.>>23857830They've had 30 years of doing adaptations that did their own different things (though how different is subjective, it's more accurate to describe it as 30 years of doing copies of oshii) to the point that actually doing something close to the original style, for once, is actually refreshing. I hope it's good, and does well, and they end up also doing appleseed as a result
>>23857837>I hope it's good, and does wellFor sure, can't see why anyone would wish otherwise.
>>23857742Fuchi > TachiNamed after Grorious Mt Fuji, not a tiny sword. Red not Blue, 3x speed. Plays trance and d&b, not Yoko kanno. Is kawaii and drawn by hand, not CGI.
>>23857868Anon in The Shell: Inferiority Complex
>>23857837I'm more a fan of Ghost in the Shell's adaptions than the original manga, however a halfway faithful adaption of Appleseed would be fantastic. I don't understand how that's had multiple high budget films and two OVAs and none of them have even gotten in the ballpark of geting it right.
>>23857055Why does a cyborg need nipples?
>>23857955For sucking.
>>23856572I can't tell if this early 2000's American hentai website artstyle is good or not.
>>23857784I don't care what anyone says about what's better, the anime adaptations or the manga, it's good to have the return of Major booty.
What's wild about these threads are how in the absence of any real significant drama, oppositionally defiant schizos have had to invent enemies at two totally different extremes of opinion to get mad about the idea of.
>>23858091it's soulful

>>23857742really liked seeing them flying around and clinging to the sides of buildings in a previous trailer, that's the kind of shit they should be capable ofGitS is just an extension of dominion with fuchis as the tanks

>>23857742I hope we get to see their revolution
>>23860450Spiders tend to have big asses.
>>23860450>caked upYou will never be ghetto.
I just want to say that this announcement made me finally read the manga and I'm pretty impressed it's really really good. Convinced the anime will be amazing too now.>>23857742I love the part where they discuss about the ai takeover kek. Shirow had a decent grasp of how ai training would be like decades later.
>>23867714Same energy.
Why is SAC so bad? talk about overrated, holy shit.
>>23871582You got filtered. Many such cases.
>>23871583Yes it's supposed to be boring and not cyberpunk at all with the clashing technology everywhere.
>>23871599>Not cyberpunk at allThat's a new one. How, exactly, is SAC not cyberpunk?
>>23871664Because it's not le quirky humor cyberpunk like muh Tank Police and Appleseed.
>>23871664How is it cyberpunk? Did you watch it recently?The difference in how the setting is portrayed between the manga/movie and SAC is massive. SAC looks like plain old Japan—there’s no sense of a world reshaped by four world wars or huge tech breakthroughs like in the manga or the movies. Full-body cyborgs exist with cyberbrains, but everything else is stuck in the early 2000s. Full cyborgs existing alongside 2000s-level infrastructure, tech, and peace is absurd. I didn't think about this stuff as a kid back then, but now, I find this pretty bad.The polished police procedural is the opposite of punk. They removed all the cyberpunk style and futurism of the originals in this poor attempt at making a grounded procedural, murrica-pandering cop show that would never actually work in this classic thriller way if they’d actually thought the setting through like Shirow and Oshii did. I'll rewatch Arise soon, and if even Ubukata did it better, I'll be baffled. Kamiyama did 2045 and nobody liked it, I'll still watch it but now I now have an idea why the show didn't work if you remove the nostalgia.I'm not excited to see his Gundam series soon.
>>23871711Oshii was heavily involved in the second season, Shirow gave input and the basic setup of the entire show was borrowed from Human Error Corrector pretty heavily.Most cyberpunk deliberately presents a combination of recognisable contemporary elements, outright anachronistic tech for style purposes and sci-fi elements. Half of the '95 film is just what Hong Kong actually looked like at the time with taller buildings in the background.>murrica-panderingThe 1995 film was literally bankrolled by Manga Entertainment wanting their next Akira for the international distribution market.>police procedural is the opposite of punkTake it up with the manga it's based on, you can make that complaint about the entire franchise.>there’s no sense of a world reshaped by four world wars or huge tech breakthroughsIf you ignore that both seasons' primary story arcs are built around the intersection of post-WW4 global affairs with domestic politics, financial interests and the way that the widespread adoption of communication technology beyond what we have today has changed the nature of social movements and the spread of ideas, sure.What makes SAC's aesthetic kind of unique and I think what you're throwing a shitfit about is the way that it tries to show a world that better reflects the way technology actually progresses. We don't demolish and rebuild our cities every 20 years to make sure they fit the current cool aesthetic or only contain modern technology. We build the new atop the old, and slowly swap things out. Even Newport City, which is 'only' post-WW3, was still a city being mainly expanded by a nation rebuilding from a devastating conflict in the early 00's. It would be weird if it wasn't recognisable as having its roots in a contemporary Japanese city.
Do we know how many episodes this is going to be? They wouldn't just do one cour, right?
>>23871731Involvement =/= the director's and art director's seat. The movies and ofc the manga absolutely did a better job at depicting its world even when it had a lot of "literally just HK", you could tell how they ramped up construction after japan became the n°1 superpower with a huge influx of chinks to house. Which is why they did not rebuild the cities but they did make a megacity on top which is textbook cyberpunk that's just missing from SAC entirely.I just hate how SAC looks man, it's really bad, even makes Motoko looks out of place. They couldn't have done it in a worse way.
>>23871738The movie doesn't even specify the country it takes place in, you're filling gaps from different continuities. Ones that actually do go much more into those elements.>I just hate how SAC looks manNo shit, anon. You're allowed not to, just don't act like it's broken because it's not your narrow band of taste for cyberpunk.
>>23871599>>23871711Holy midwittery.
>>23857064>>23857166Isn't that just the most natural positive reaction someone is going to have?
>>23857820It's literally less time consuming to read the manga than to watch all of SAC though.
>>23867714Reminds me of those illustrations of the major "hacking" into the various OS-tans.
>>23871901>time consumingWow I sure care about the opinion of someone that considers their hobbies a chore!
>>23867714Why does her shadow look like that cast by the Monolith?
I read some of the manga, mostly the short sequel series and it was trippy as fuck. Makoto is a digital goddess and the robot body is just her vessel.
>>23874243>MakotoAny relation to Motoko?
>>23871801Holy secondary
>>23871901SAC is a short watch if you skip all the useless filler episodes. They were even kind enough to mark them for you.
>>23875704Isn't that like more than half
>>238757082nd gig is mostly relevant episodes
>>23871709I'm surprised that was allowed to air uncensored in the states.
>>23867714So what's that mean for the Vocaloid? The format says pregnancy test but the label on it seems more suggestive of STDs.
2045 got too much shit just for the CG huh? it's actually pretty good.
>>23878439What are you referring to?
>>23879174
>>23879823Yeah 2045 and arise were still pretty good. As a long time fan it just seems like every single project was enjoyable. I like Appleseed more and I wish I could say the same for that but sadly. . .
>>23879823Why does Motoko look like a 10 year old baby?
>>23879864I mean..
>>23879843Yeah same. As for Appleseed sadly only Aramaki gave a shit about it but he isn't Oshii or Kamiyama. Too much focus on action over an actually good story based on shirow's stuff, and then the CG on top never helped appleseed, and people hate CG so much that even Gits isn't spared from criticism the second they use aramaki's CG studio. But tbf 2045's writing isn't the best kamiyama gave us.I can already bet nobody will like the upcoming Gundam AU. It's shame I think 2D is ofc king, but I much prefer full CGI over 2D character + mixed 3D mech horseshit.
>>23879897The CG for Appleseed wasn't too bad from what I recall.
So since we’re pretty close to release, do we still have any idea who’s voicing motoko?
>>23879870HNNNNNNNGH!
>>23878439I had a lot of problems with it beyond the questionable art direction and often plain bad CG.They certainly didn't help, though. It's easier to forgive weaknesses in one part of a package when others can help pick up some of the slack.
>>23879907I agree. Appleseed 13 was killer, but the other two movies in that decade are hit and miss. The big suck is that the original OVA had such bad production quality yet the manga was gorgeous. God I love the Appleseed manga so much. When they go fight the cat girls in New York City. Jesus Christ.
>>23881072>cat girlsI thought that was Dominion.
>literally full of yuritrannies hereI'll laugh seeing this show flop
>>23882599Why are you trying to create artificial drama when this show doesn’t even have anything controversial going on around, is this some kind of advanced trolling for no reason other than for the sake of creating fake outrage? Can’t we just enjoy the fact that we actually have an adaptation of the manga now and be happy?
>>23882621>adaptation of yurishit with quirk chungus charactersWhat a joke. There's a reason the manga never made big while the OVA and SAC did.
>>23882629Are you just saying this in every thread with two girls in the OP until you find one where it sticks? I refuse to believe there's multiple people on this board unironically calling things 'quirk chungus' even as an insult.
>>23882621>>23882649Stop replying retard.
>>23882110Appleseed can be seen as a bit of a prequel to Dominion. At the very end of Appleseed they develop the organic made domiciles like you see in Dominion, Plus there is a hint at genetic manipulation as we see in the cat girls. Yes these are either the very same or the precursors to the girls in Dominion.
>>23882621>>23882621It's a mentally ill sharty/chagen tranny. That's why.>the manga never made b-ACKHoly fuck he's (or xir?) absolutely seething and frotting at the mouth.
shirow was based huh
>>23882676It's only in SAC s2 that they hinted at her being from a boy's brain. Even if that's the case, keep in mind that if it's from a little boy's brain they take the brain out it's not going to mature into a full-grown man in any way. Little boys are still very much female in behavior until they go through puberty. She did not go through puberty.
>>23882702What? They don't. I have zero stake in owning anyone here I have no idea what this schizo shit is on about, but that's just not true. There's two survivors of the plane crash so badly injured a full body conversion is the only real option, a little boy and girl. Major's the girl, Kuze's the boy.Assuming we take the story as literally true of course. I'm pretty sure it is but who knows.I genuinely don't know where you'd get the inference otherwise.
>>23882712That's the only way I could see of him saying the series has transex stuff. All the other stuff the major mentions about maybe being a man is hypotheticals.
>retard posts the laziest attempt at trolling>/m/ spends the rest of the thread replying to him and trying to decipher the post as if it were an earnest oneI get the board is slow but you are just enabling and encouraging this behavior.
>>23882692beyond belief, my friend

>>23884277Then why was it so famous when the manga never did so great?
>>23884250No you won't, the opposite is gonna happens instead, like the faggot up there, complaining about 1+1=2 for years on end. It's really obvious by now who's most cancerous about this kind of shit.
