Still the GOAT
realtalk, how long has he gone without sex?
SAC s2 was lame
Hey do you like that anime that's one of the best animated productions ever? Well here's a tv show that runs at 12fps and looks nothing like it!
>>217198349i liked it
>>217198364the movie is nothing like the rest of the franchise
>>217198364>expecting them to have the same budget for a seriesThat's silly plus SAC still looks amazing
>>217198402exactly what i'm saying, franchise is its own needless thing
>>217198183Couldn't agree more OP, might be time for a rewatchI just wish they'd given my boy Boma an episode of his own.
>>217198364The show has its own movie, Solid State Society, and it’s way better than the show.
>>217198364It was less up its own ass than 95-Innocence and added more stuff from the manga while leaving out the comedy
>>217198183seeing the pic in the catalog I thought something completely different was going on in it
>>217200176I dreamed that I was old T_T
I love that show so much. It's the "world" that cemented cyberpunk aesthetic in my mind. I never watched it because I feel it'd ruin the story for me. There is probably some silly stuff in there, besides Motoko's outfit
>>217201130r u gay
>>217198364I liked SAC more overall than '95 movie desu still a visual feastAnd 2nd GIG - more than InnocenceSAC is the cultured man's animehttps://youtu.be/kG2R8LqnLOshttps://youtu.be/PS_lTP-3tjE
SAC is also one of the rarest few shows, where english dub is [arguably] better than the jap original
>>217201130>I love that show so much.>I never watched it
>>217201457I've never been more confused by a post. So they love it, they haven't seen it, they wanna fuck the Major, they're a little kitty cat, like what? What are we doing here?
>>217198183>Still the GOAT*a challenger approaches*
>>217201272>>217201457I meant "rewatched", but I rephrased some other stuff and forgot to fix it. kek
>>217201569Ergo Proxy is good but the philosophy is way too heavy handed. If it took a more hands off approach like Texhnolyze it would've been way better in my opinion.
>>217201674>the philosophy is way too heavy handed>way too heavy handedNo such thing nigga>>217201674>hands off approach like TexhnolyzeHaibane Renmei is still ABe's superior Magnum Opus
>>217201790>No such thingMy tolerance is pretty high but when characters are acting like writer stand-ins and monologuing about philosophy I tend to mentally check out a little bit. Same reason I wasn't a huge fan of Innocence. >spoilerI like Haibane Renmei a lot, too.
>>217198364Stand alone complex is the best piece of GitS related media in my opinion, and I've consumed everything GitS except for the scarjo movie and the newest anime - which I heard bad things about but I guess I'll get to eventually.The anime I mean. I'm never touching the scarjo movie.
>>217202027>Stand alone complex is the best piece of GitS related media in my opinionMy tasteful nigga
>>217198183Name of the girl ?
Scarjo movie was just better. If you disagree it is because you are gay and hate (3d) women
>>217198183Appleseed>Tank Police>>>>>Gay in the Shit
Daily reminder that Motoko is canonically a female pedophile
>>217203477>30 posts in and no one has posted the clipShameful.
>>217201569tfw no Re-L Mayer gf
Expectations?
>>217203647I hope they remember that the manga has a sense of humor and isn't all grim dark.
>>217198183>>217201569>anime has never been GOATYou can discuss this on /a/, and stay there.
>>217201569>>217203604The problem is that they didn't make Re-L the protagonist. There's way too little of her to the point that the covers feel like false advertisement
>>217203737It's not like there are any good airing TV shows to discuss instead.
>>217198349The villain is cool and like s1 it has a few kino eps, but overall feels weaker.
>>217198364Everyone continue to dunk on this retard for being retarded. >>217198203He either bangs prostitutes every night or refuses to ever do anything sexual unless it's with the Major.
>>217203779I thought it was a kino subversion. The twist goes hard when the opening first appears and reveals Vincent as the MC
>Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2>Golden Kamuy Final Season>Hell's Paradise Season 2>Jujutsu Kaisen: The Culling Game Part 1>Sentenced to Be a Hero>All You Need Is Kill>Steel Ball Run: JoJo's Bizarre Adventurekino season

>>217201569I managed to watch about half of this show, maybe a few episodes more. Every episode felt like a chore.I'll probably go back to it once my mild OCD completion disorder compels me to.
>>217203988>Don't know what this isSamurai Gantz on gross monster island.>Don't know what this isDark fantasy with especially good animation.
>>217203988>Hell's ParadiseI only read the manga but it was pretty good. Bunch of ninja bandits and their samurai handlers must go to a monster island to find the elixir of immortality for the Emperor in exchange for their pardons. Hilarity ensues.
>>217201569First half is kino, but It get's retarded when they find the abandoned city.
>>217202027Watch the dub with the anime voice cast
>>217198183why does a murder military robot with a powerful AI behaved like a 10yo japanese little girl?
>>217198183Doesn't the creator spend all his time drawing BBC porn now?
SAC is one of my favourite animes. Can I piggyback off this thread and ask for anime recommendations? I took a look at the /a/ catalogue and it's just tranny shit. I also hate modern anime, absolutely not interested. guess you would call me a normie, whatever.I just watched 1997 HXH and 2003 FMA and quite enjoyed both. Currently watching 1996 Samurai X and it's really good. I'm specifically looking for 4:3, cel/hand drawn animation preferably with English dubbed. I don't mind giving 'shounen' stuff a go as long as it's not TOO comedy focused. I bounced off Shaman King. I tried Inuyasha a while ago but it was too romance focused. Might try it again.
The first season was great. Felt the second one kinda disappeared up its own ass politically.
>>217203477She was just messing with that kid.
>>217205799Serial Experiments LainErgo ProxyLegend of the Galactic HeroesRevolutionary Girl UtenaMawaru Penguindrum
>>217206337Only one of these I've watched is Ergo Proxy, and it was gay and retarded. Do not recommend.But to the guy's question, Seirei no Moribito is pretty similar if part of what you liked about GitS was the Major's character.
>>217198349i thought it was betterbetter story arcbetter villainless fan serviceplus a "literally me" character with KuzeS1 had a better ending and more action though
>>217206719>plus a "literally me" character with KuzeI believe you have the "literally me" character wrong?
>>217206337thankslain and proxy are a bit too pontificating and gay for my liking but LOTGH looks great.is Votoms any good?>>217206656looks potentially interesting, thank you
>>217206788kek
>>217206788lmao, that guy was so based
>>217205799I thought Psycho-Pass was pretty good. It's not GitS level but it's a sci-fi dystopia with cyborgs and shit, the main characters are a government hitsquad who don't trust the government, it has a female lead (although, she's very different from the major). There are a lot of similarities, and I thought the premise was pretty cool (basically, Big Brother has eliminated 99.99% of violence, but the remaining fraction are still causing problems; also, being exposed to violence constitutes a memetic hazard that corrupts your "psycho pass" and causes big brother to target you for censure or elimination)
>>217205799Parasyte. Or just read it.
>>217207741>ParasyteSurprisingly good show desu, nice music and great animation
>>217203827>beer-littered bachelor pad and sad, rote lifestyle>spoils his dog, showing he can take care of things if he cares to>the dog has replaced the hole in his life where a woman should beDefinitely the latter.
>>217205799Sora no WotoMushishiI see lotgh has already been suggested.Idk maybe Kino's Journey (the old one not the new shitty one)
>>217201569>>217203604>>217203899
Anyone liked Angel Cop?
>>217198349I liked it therefore it wasn't
>>217200176I don't even remember what happened in the movie tbhqBut it had a great score https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Etiw24emfUk
>>217203647Cautiously optimistic>>217203659picrel
>>217206719>cyberpunk revolutioner messiah>literally mehuh?
>>217205799BleachIt's shonen. Skip all the filler episodes, except episodes 147, 148 and 149.Then you can watch Bleach:Thousand Year Blood war, last season is coming out in ~7 months,
>>217203647>>217209451Is this gonna be a straight manga adaptation? Fucking kino if so.I wonder if they'll attempt to do the later parts of the manga where all the art became weird semi-cgi bullshit
>>217203647LET'S FUCKING GO!!!>>217203659Yeesh, dare I hope that it's actually faithful to the manga?>>217209451Cute!
>>217210481All this machineryMaking modern mangaCan still be open-heartedNot so coldly chartedIt's really just a questionOf your honesty. Yeah, your honesty.
>>217210481>Is this gonna be a straight manga adaptation? Fucking kino if so.I don't think they confirmed anything, but if the concept art is anything to go by, it's likely.
>>217198349I liked the intro sequence better lol. But if im being real, I think season two is weaker than one, but the difference is like two pepperoni pizzas from two places down the street from each other. At the end of the day in still comfy eating a tasty slice of 'zza.
>>217209332Yeah, the soundtrack is also pretty good. The story is very similar to the first episode of Goku Midnight Eye, puppet master hacker. I’m sure they took inspiration from it. This show is just a 2 episode mini series.
>>217198183Those blue robots are worse than ja ja binks.SAC is absolutely awful.
So why did Shirow just start straight up making interracial porn manga?
>>217203647It'll be rubbish.The only good thing in the GITS series is the original movie, and it's a nonsensical mess held up by its direction, art and music.
>>217209332It’s mostly about how they indoctrinate people in Japan to accept everything the government tells them to do. Puppeteering
>>217203647looks like it will be pretty if nothing elsei'll be happy even if its just a 1:1 adaption of the mango
>>217205799>guess you would call me a normie, whatever.Nah modern anime is just garbage.Check out Cyber City Oedo and the Patlabor OVA/Series'
>>217209332>I don't even remember what happened in the movieim pretty sure ive seen it like 3 times at this point and the only part i remember is the one where togusa gets brainhacked and tries to kill himself
>>217209332>I don't even remember what happened in the movie tbhq I vaguely recall that big reveal was that retired Japanese senior citizens in nursing homes had their cyberbrains secretly linked to together to use as extra computing power. Basically they were using senior citizen cyberbrains as for bitcoin mining. Lol.Ghost in the Shell was really ahead of its time.
>>217205799You should give Elusive Samurai a try. You'll know after one episode whether it's up your alley or not. Inuyasha doesn't get better than it is at the beginning, it just drags on longer and longer. It's for 14-year-old girls who struggle making friends. Not that there's anything wrong with that, but it's hard to get into it as an adult.You should definitely watch all the Ghibli movies. They're all different, and they're all amazing. I second Bleach, although it takes a while to get cooking and I vastly prefer the subbed version. The dub has a lot of flat performances, even from otherwise good VA's. Cowboy Bebop, obviously. Akira, obviously.Ninja Scroll, obviously.Outlaw Star. Very similar to Cowboy Bebop.Deathnote, obviously.Initial D, Like Fast and Furious, only wholesome.Cyberpunk Edgerunners, it's fast and fun.Hajime No Ippo, extremely wholesome boxing anime.Mob Psycho 100, obviously.Berserk '97. Don't be thrown off by the 1st episode, plow through to the 2nd. Just trust me. That's probably enough for a beginner to start with. Good luck to ya.Oh yeah, you might want to check out pic related, too.
>>217201381Innocence was awesome but it wasnt what fans of the 1st wanted. We wanted to see more of kusanagi but got baton instead. I loved it and the waxing philosical during the helicopter ride is the cat's meow. The mind trap is the best trippy experience on film when I first saw it.
>>217211514>I second BleachAlso, I forgot the most important thing, make sure you SKIP the "Bount" arc. Episodes 64-91. It's filler and it's barely even mid. Most of the filler is mid, but it's also really easy to skip. I know it sounds funny, "Oh, Bleach is good, you just have to skip half the episodes!" But I'll just say, it's an anime with high-points and low-points. The high-points are insanely high, and the low-points are not great, but not terrible.If you skip the Bount arc, you're skipping the lowest of the low-points, and you won't miss out on anything pertinent to the main story.
>>217201130This best cyberpunk animes are Bubblegum Crisis and Cybercity Oedo 808I liked Tank Police better GitS to be honest, Patlabour was its better successor>>217200176Major looks to be packing some serious heat, must've got a milking upgrade>>217206827>is Votoms any good?Very, much better than Gundam (except for 08th MS Team)Also check out Orguss 02, which has my all time favourite asshole anti-hero character.>>217201674>>217206656Agreed.First half of Ergo Proxy is decent, but the second half I swear the writing staff must've broke been huffing paints and glueRe-L is one of the hottest pieces of drawn ass though >>217208900Moribito is good, one of the best examples of how to write a strong female character without just turning her into a man>>217209121>Anyone liked Angel CopYes, both versionsIts funny that I barely saw mention of it a year ago but I see it all the time now
I hate this little motherfucker
>>217211514>Berserk '97. Don't be thrown off by the 1st episode, plow through to the 2nd. Just trust me.I second this, I was initially put off by the first ep and dropped it, then took about ten years before giving it a proper go and found it was a fantastic character driven story.Another anime I initially found off putting just because of its title was Bastard!!, then I watched it and found I really liked it.There's a remake with some better pacing but overall just isn't as good, plus its dub lacks Daran Norris voicing Dark Schneider, who's performance really makes the character
>>217205799attack on titan is the short of show everyone kinda enjoys
>>217211312He's a hardcore japanese nationalist, drawing blonde blue eyed women getting BLACKED is his way of wenting frustration
>>217205799Golden Kamuy, but you have to read it because the anime is a travesty
>>217212633*venting frustration towards americans, forgot to add that
>>217208900
>>217209862yup. just like me someday
>>217212245A lot of REALLY GREAT anime takes a few episodes or even a season or more to get good.Gintama is like that, the first . . . like 50 or so episodes are straight-up not even good . . . but once it finally DOES get cooking, it's one of the best anime you'll ever see. And unfortunately, you can't skip the beginning because all that set-up is entirely necessary. It's really NOT a beginner-friendly anime. Same with One Piece, the beginning is super slow and really not impressive . . . but as it goes on, it gets better, and better, and better, and better, and better. But the beginning is necessary to set up the world and characters. In fact, as I think about it, Bleach is the same deal. It's actually not a good one for beginners, but it's excellent for an intermediate-level anime fan. So save that one for after you've already watched all the other ones I listed.Gintama is a comedy anime that gets a lot of traction for doing parodies and references of other anime like Bleach and Dragon Ball, so you have to save it for when you've already seen those. But it's great for jaded viewers who feel like they're starting to run out of good anime to watch and they've already seen all the big ones. Mostly I would say, watching anime is a lifelong thing, and just when you think you've run out of good anime, another one will come along and blow your mind, you just have to keep looking and keep trying new ones. There's no real formula for figuring out if an anime is good or not, not all the new ones are bad, not all the old ones are good, some of the lamest-looking ones turn out to be great, some of the greatest-looking ones turn out to be lame, some of them start out bad and get a lot better, some of them (a LOT of them) start out great and then turn to shit. Some of the best-looking ones are boring and stupid, some of the worst-looking ones have the BEST stories.Most of all, you can't go by what anybody says, you have to watch it for yourself and decide.
>>217198183I bought a Chiappa Rhino and 3d printed a cyberpunk grip because of GitS. Actual Mateba's are like $15,000
>>217212653Oy, don't even get started trying to turn this into a "the-manga-is-better" thread, I'm surprised the mods have let this thing go as long as they have.
>>217205799>Currently watching 1996 Samurai X and it's really good.Whatever you do, don't neglect to watch Trust and Betrayal after you finish the main show. It's easily, easily one of the best anime ever made.
>>217200176>>217198183>>217203477I gotta keep it 100 with you senpai the major looks like shit in SAC
>>217213331I rate each episode. If the average rating drops under 6/10, I stop immediately, if it's under 7/10 at the end of the season, won't start a new one.Just stopped Claymore after fourth episode.One Piece starts strong. Definitely not slow, always moving forward getting the crew, getting to conclusion of Alabasta, getting to Sky Island and then it gets slow. Imo it needed more fillers. Fillers you can skip, canone eps where pretty much nothing happens are worse.
>>217214059(You) are extremely gay.
>>217198349are you fucking serioushttps://youtu.be/FF21zT4_5ME
>>217214998The highly underrated formal military uniform
I'm in a GitS mood. Playing the Stand Alone Complex PS2 game on a whim and its getting me back into the series. What are some good comparable things?Could be anything, eastern or western. I've been considering a Matrix 1 rewatch. Watched Texhnolyze last year. Seen Ergo Proxy. Lain. A lot of similar stuff. lol preferably understand intuitively what I've already seen and recommend me stuff I haven't thanks
>>217213597I'm not, but GK is genuinely a horrid low budget anime while the manga is drawn with great detail, and online fan translations include tons of translator notes to explain references to Japanese history etc.
