ben0119 Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 There's the mysterious girl. So she's the planet. Lonely because the inhabitants destroyed themselves. Hang out with Earth-chan! The prettiest planet ever. Go to another dimension huh? Another hint of the multi-dimensional aspect of this show. It doesn't matter where I go. Alive or dead, I'm still pretty dandy. So Dandy chose to stay dead to hang out with Limbo and the others? It's a whole planet of album covers! And that music is great! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yeah, it's a prequel (though not 100% beholden to the previous adaptations so as to not have to worry about slight cannon contradictions), so it is also a younger Motoko Edited July 1, 2018 by DangerMouse 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess I should watch it sometime if Toonami is never going to show it. It being another continuity is probably why I didn't rush out to watch it. Ghost in the Shell is a strange duck. As I understand it, the movies, Standalone Complex, and Arise are all different continuities, and none are straight adaptations of the manga. Also the manga is supposedly more light-hearted and cartoony, which I wouldn't have expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangerMouse Posted July 1, 2018 Share Posted July 1, 2018 (edited) For the most part you can really watch it pretty much as a prequel to SAC, detailing the initial forming of Section 9. Edited July 1, 2018 by DangerMouse 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, even so, for the most part you can be comfortable just watching it pretty much as a prequel to SAC though, detailing the initial forming of Section 9. So since you've watched SAC most of it should feel pretty right. I can't even remember too much being particularly contradictory.

Oh yeah, no problem, it's actually not as confusing if you'd followed it as it came out, the four OVAs were each about 50 mins and released in theaters before home video and were the original release of the series. They were then recompiled into a TV episode runtime, similar to Gundam Unicorn, after it was finished so that it could fit on TV. The four OVA's listed as Ghost in the Shell Arise: Borders 1-4 are available in two sets (2 parts each) and streaming, from Funimation. As is the movie finale, called "Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie" (heh). Edited July 1, 2018 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's available to stream I should check it out since I am subscribed to Funimation Now. The OVA version IMO. It's like watching four mini-movies that way and was how all four were originally created to run. Also, I think only the OVA version has been dubbed, so that's another reason to go with that if you prefer to watch with the dub too. Then you can watch the movie which is available both dubbed or subbed. If you really like the OVAs a lot, and want a little more before watching the movie, you can watch episodes 9-10 of the series version (Alternative Architecture ep 9-10, Pyrophoric Cult Part 1 and 2), which were newly created at the end of the TV run to further improve the flow of having the series smoothly flow into the movie with an extra story, though I'd say they are not completely necessary to watch and still enjoy the movie if you just want to get to the movie faster, since I originally saw the movie only after seeing the 4 OVAs. And didn't know about those two new eps until later. You could think of ep 9-10 as "Border 5". But since those two eps haven't got a US blu-ray release so far, I think just like the rest of the TV series version it's only available subbed on the Funimation stream. https://www.funimation.com/shows/ghost-in-the-shell-arise/ Edited July 1, 2018 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see. Well that's odd. If those extra episodes aren't dubbed, that doesn't really help me much. Don't really want to switch back and forth, so I guess I'll just stick with the OVAs and movie, then. Maybe this mess is why Toonami hasn't aired Arise. Edited July 1, 2018 by ben0119 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe this mess is why Toonami hasn't aired Arise. Yeah, that could be it. Having watched the OVAs when Funimation released them I didn't re-watch much of the Alternative Architecture TV version, so I didn't realize it still hasn't gotten dubbed so maybe that's why it still hasn't gotten on Toonami. Funi or Toonami should just pony up and finished dubbing the extra bits in order to air it. It'd probably be worth dubbing those two extra eps to finish the dub. The majority of the work is done. Yeah, that's why I suggested just watching the OVAs and then the movie, since those are all dubbed. Edited July 1, 2018 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose they could line it up to where it'd work for a special week. I mean it's not like they haven't aired movies before and some long finale eps like FLCL's or Hellsing's, so maybe they could do it as a special night since it'd just be for that last week. Cool, I enjoyed it. Even with some of the differences like the younger versions, it still feels quite familiar so you should feel mostly right at home having seen the other stuff, like SAC. It's also quite neat seeing a younger Motoko and Aramaki get started and bring in the team. Edited July 1, 2018 by DangerMouse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
