in the shell

By that, I just meant that there is no need to suppose some possibilities, as the definitive answer is available. I didn't mean to force you to watch it right away Force? Heck, I was trying to snooker you into sending me a copy....I'm dying to see it. I don't know Japanese, nor do I have Japanese f...

I don't know why you're galaventing about the tachi, because the answer is in SSS

Well, probably because we haven't gotten to see it yet, so plbbt. IT's not being released here in the US until 2007.

I think Pazu is more intriguing because he is quiet and broody, whereas Boma comes off as a real average joe. I'd forgotten about that bomb-pla...

I have After The Long Goodbye and The Lost Memory: are there others? I don't want to miss any. I'm also trying to assemble a full set of the comics: they're hard to come by. What does that Visual Book have in it?

Here is what I think: I believe the Tatchikomas uploaded their AI's into the space they had originally created for the refugees. I think Batou has loved Motoko for years, but for some reason, neither of them has verbalized the way they feel towards each other to each other. Motoko was willing to gru...
