Ergo Proxy....can anyone tell me a bit more about this? Looks intriguing! As for show similar to GitS - Serial Experiment Lain. :) marto_motoko Serial Experiment Lain is probably the weirdest series I ever watched, but it's quite good. However, I wouldn't really compare it to GitS, but rather to Ev...

Well, it's pretty easy to crack any DVD player for turning it into a multi-zone one, so... :P

Maybe I'm out of touch, but I never recalled the US getting a complete box set for the first season. You guys in G.B. are very lucky to get some of the extras you do. I guess only fair after how long you wait for releases. Yeap, I just had a quick look for it and I didn't find it :x And I can't bel...

Major leaves S9! ah-What?! How can this be?! Motoko is Ghost in the Shell! In the second movie, Motoko wasn't part of Section 9 and it was a kick ass movie anyway! 8) But whats a third series without Motoko ;_; They never said that Motoko won't be part of the 3rd series. Actually, I highly doubt sh...

Article in Nature about a computer controlled by human brain

Extract from an article in Nature 109 (13 July 2006) about a computer being controlled by a human brain (which I find obviously linked to the very essence of GitS!): ...two papers in this week's Nature suggest that the direct interfacing of the human brain with computers or robots is no longer confi...

Also announced at AX 2006 during the Production I.G panel was that Solid State Society is not scheduled to be the final iteration of the Stand Alone Complex series. There were no details on any future releases. Seems like if this movie/ova sells well. We might get a 3rd TV series. YEAH That's great...

Well, it would be surprising that people who are reading about SSS didn't finish watching the 2nd GIG, but not impossible, so I guess you're right :wink:

If Motoko Kusanagi is the Puppeteer then she will have a bigger role as the villain, even if she isn't the Puppeteer then I would think she still will have a big role to play in SSS. I never would have thought that Motoko would leave Section 9 or go against Section 9, these unexpected changes make ...

Humanoïd robot article

Here is an article about Humanoïd robot development (and it seems to go faster and faster! :shock: ). I found it on the french newspaper website lemonde.fr ( http://www.lemonde.fr/web/article/0,1-0@2-3244,36-792677@51-792813,0.html ) because its being tested in Toulouse, my hometown (where the new A...

Well, I expect that she'll be part of the story anyway (like in Innocence).

I still can't believe it :?
