I think that's when they officially become Section 9. Edited May 20, 2018 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ben0119 Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 (edited) What's with the apple? That submarine officer looks like Duke. LOL Ishikawa just clocks him. That sexist dinosaur Takakura pegged Kayabuki wrong, and got put in his place. Ameri-Soviet Union? Wut? Lol EU is canon apparently. Didn't think it existed when this was written. Surprised they are still around in this universe in any case. That was the Tachikomas singing? They left it in Japanese. What were they saying I wonder? RIP Tachikomas. What kind of nonsensical penal code is it where you can't be charged if you turn yourself in? Goda smug and full of himself right up to the end. Then Major just blows him away! God that was satisfying! Oh no they got Kuze! Did that guy break into the vehicle he was being held in? One last crane... Thought for sure Proto died. Guess not. Puchikomas? Looks like the AI on them was kept pretty basic. What was Bato going to say? Great ending but still potential for more I think.

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.

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.

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.

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.

They love GitS but movies are a rarity these days except in special circumstaces. Wow really? Pretty sure I didn't see it, but I guess I would know for sure if I go and watch it.

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.

I'll definitely try to watch it soon and try not to get side-tracked. Easier to commit to watch one movie than a series anyways. I wonder if the show is hard to get, in a licensing hell of sorts.

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.

korosu Posted May 20, 2018 Share Posted May 20, 2018 if not for the different voice actors i'd also suggest airing the laughing man/individual eleven compilation films but they made a few weird changes in the latter one. like kubota telling aramaki kuze's name and gouda not asking batou if he's gonna stop him after they have that conversation.

Thanks, I just looked it up and see why I made that mistake, it looks like it did air on TV but actually aired on that short lived Sci-Fi/SyFy channel anime block so that's why I remember seeing it once on TV (the block that premiered Gundam 00 and Gurren Lagann as well). http://www.scifijapan.com/articles/2007/05/09/sci-fi-channel-to-debut-ani-monday-block-in-june-with-premiere-of-ghost-in-the-shell-solid-state-society/ 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh that's really weird.

If anything I walked away feeling like the people involved really didn't understand the underlying material and spirit of the series. Instead of a lame attempt at an origin story they could have created a case for the team to crack that is relevant and relatable to the audience. Yes. GiTS is ultimately a very existential show, but it's more of the backdrop for stories about advancing technology and how human beings are interacting with and living along side it. This is what we get with Hollywood today unfortunately and I'm more and more inclined to see my favorites left alone. I don't think they're heart is in the right place and the box office revenue is always the main driver. Edited May 26, 2018 by saito34 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
