in the shell

Yes, welcome!

Yeah, I think it's the attitude. Not that I can tell anything, really, about the character from one pose (although you'd hope the character design was THAT good).

It has begun! My company, Quantum Tiger Games, has been funded to create an RPG showcasing our personality-driven AI. It will be released in individually complete modules, adding up to an incredible overarching story over time. Look for the first module in late October. In the meantime, please Like ...

Bottom row middle also makes me think of The Fly ...

Who's the woman top row, middle? Something about her reminds me of Pam in True Blood. Not sure why, though.

That looks cool! Revives my hopes, which had been flagging a bit.

Apparently Section 9 all use the Microsoft Surface ...

Not sure what I think about Motoko's design in this art. I like the color cover, but in the interior art she looks a bit like Tetsuo and out-of-proportion. Actually, the anime art looks out-of-proportion, too; her arms look like twigs.

I love the figures, though

No offense taken! Most TV I watch is just in the background as I do other things (typically computer things), or is of the "On Demand" variety for random films or TV series I've missed (currently watching Heroes). I have only the most basic of cable, and mostly because it comes with my Int...

Wow. That means almost every TV show I used to like is gone. And there really isn't any geek-friendly TV left (well, certainly no channels with any extensive coverage of games or tech-related stuff). I gather this is all part of G4's change to Esquire (great, just what we need ... more Spike TV). I ...

Wow! That looks lovely! Although in some scenes it's like Motoko is competing with Mai Shiranui for largest ... um ... enhancements to a character over time.

Very interesting ... I don't necessarily agree with everything you say, but am totally behind you when you talk about the West's fear of machines (and science) and cyberization (at least as far back as Frankenstein, and extending to pretty much everything Hollywood puts out. There are even differenc...

That looks fun! Been a long time since I watched that ...

Kanetoko ...

Marto! Good to see you!

If Arise is a prequel (total guess at this point, of course, but just going by the youthful-looking Motoko), are we to believe that Motoko's robot body looked younger at some point? Do they replace it every few years? Does it age? Or maybe it's not a robot body at all ... (although we'd have to be l...

Guess I'll always have a fondness for the original manga version--but looking at the comparison, she does have very big '80s-style hair, doesn't she?

Second to that, it'd either be the first film version or 2nd Gig. The design sense is just so totally different, it's hard to choose between them.
