Is it even this dub? i agree, it's ridiculous. yep, it's the same dub. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blatch Posted April 8, 2018 Share Posted April 8, 2018 The thing with Stand-Alone Complex is that Manga Entertainment owns the home video rights to the show in perpetuity because they bankrolled a large amount of the series' production, just like they did for the original movie. Basically, they thought this franchise could become the next Akira in the west and wanted to take advantage of that. And now, Anchor Bay is now the permanent licensor for the series through owning Manga after some corporate buyouts. They also happen to give zero damns about anime in general. So the franchise is pretty much doomed to forever getting inadequate home media releases in America, which really fucking sucks. I can't even imagine how such a critically acclaimed franchise could suffer this fate. The only thing we can do about it is to import a foreign release, and thankfully, I've heard very good things about those sets from South Korea. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this was mentioned in the ep where we first learned he had so many people watching his actions. Plus Kuze warns the Major just before she tried to fully connect to him to try to see through his eyes, to find his location, about what connecting to his memories or whatever else is there seems to do to most people. Thanks for the info. I must say I have failed to really absorb the Kuze stuff in particular. Over the years I kind of glazed over it and attributed everything to charisma, but I have a renewed interest in what they are trying to say. There are so many layers to this show you kind of don't realize how much you don't fully understand until the 4-5th watch through. Unlike other sci-fi shows it's not just mumbo jumbo either. I completely respect the show and trust it's worth understanding the underlying concepts. Thanks again dude Edited April 9, 2018 by saito34 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Kuze fucked him up. I wish I could turn off my pain receptors. When the shit hits the fan in GitS the shit really hits the fan! Love this epic bgm. Uh-oh Kuze got screwed.
