Haha yeah. It's all in one sitting for a movie Hmm, you might be right maybe it's pricey due to being GITS. Yeah, OVA length would have made it tough, they were each about 50-60 mins each, and only 4 of them (5 with addition of the later OVA release of eps 9-10 of the TV version to better connect to the latest anime movie) so probably too short to mess with the schedule like that. But with the TV edit it seemed more possible.

Certainly has flaws, but I think there's still some cool parts to see for GITS fans.

Yeah, that plus it being old made me think it was unlikely so I was just like "maybe after a re-run marathon!" lol Yeah, I always remember that the Bebop movie aired but I don't fully recall experiencing watching it on TV anymore either.

Plus the Major and Batou scenes together and action scenes together felt really good IMO, so it feels like they could have done a good job with the rest of the team if the plot was different rather than an origin story so that it could have involved the whole group more. I guess maybe they were hoping for a sequel for that or something? Yeah, was shocked how good a fit he was.

Yeah, it's a great time to watch it some time soon with this fresh in your mind. Yeah, I just don't get it, they're huge GITS fans and the show still seems to do well, you'd think they would have jumped on airing the new Arise. Arise even got a re-edit into TV length eps like Gundam Unicorn. Even though the OVA order's probably smoother just like it was with Gundam Unicorn, it should still be a good watch. They'd have a good amount of content to air too since they'd have both the 10 eps as well as a new Arise series finale movie.

Oh that was just because they don't really do movies anymore and it's old now and they'd probably consider it a re-run so I thought that kind of thing that might be the best shot lol. Had to look it up since I didn't remember the details but kind of remembered it getting on TV; So it was shown during the Adult Swim anime years.

Yeah. The plot and case was way too simple and generic and also it was a little too focused on the Major and needed more of the team. Still surprised by the lack of Togusa scenes since I recognized his actor. Scarlet was a pretty good Major. And Batou was surprisingly freaking perfect.

They probably won't but it'd be cool if one of the days they did a repeat marathon they'd re-run GITS SAC: Solid State Society, the sequel to 2nd Gig. I'm still really surprised they haven't picked up Ghost in the Shell Arise.

Yup, was worth it on the big screen, despite some flaws. I went to see it in IMAX. The visuals definitely should have won some awards.

Yeah, that could be it. That might also be why he then did the crane as well.

Like the end of a Bond movie with a vocal song

The scene shows up in Arise as well

Back on the job

Around the clock Cherry Blossom viewing Operation Oh hey, Proto is still functioning!

Already got to him.... There's the crane.

"You're that prick!"

Motoko stealth kill

"Are you sure? Have it your way" Outmaneuvered!

This is such a great music track

Ishikawa's the fucking man

One minute close moment with the Major, next arrested.

Damn, and he's a sexist piece of shit too Kayabuki about to school his ass

And here he is....this fucking asshole
