in the shell

...I think I got the title right? Yay, Togusa gets to do some serious kicking of butts and rescue the P.M. (Aramaki cops a feel! Ecchi! :twisted: ) Proto's alive, if not kicking. And Batou solves a situation diplomatically :shock: and now he's off to rescue Motoko again. Could someone remind me plea...

I hope they can repair Proto--what will I do for my bishonen fix without him? :cry: And if we have bioroids, can the Puma sisters be far behind... I'm a little confused about the plane that Kuze and co. shot down--was Gohda supposed to be on it, or did they just send it out there unmanned to jam com...

Did the idiot refuge fireing at the soldier with out orders remind anyone of the final battle between Mordred and Arthur in the Arthurian Legands. It kinda reminded me of the old archer in Lord of the Rings: the Two Towers who accidentally let an arrow fly, killing one of the orcs (shows how shallo...

And more importantly, the factor was being virgin before cyborgization, which Kuze would pretty much automatically pass, having become a full cyborg as a child. I still think it's a loopy plot device. And I still think the Anna Russell quote very much applies to Gohda (strictly based on his persona...

I thought he was too purty to be human. But this does shoot my theory that Proto is Legolas' long-lost twin brother all to hell...
(BTW Elmo: great use of teh chibis! )

I nearly choked on my breakfast cereal when Gouda claimed that the common factor for the individualists was...virginity?
And lo, the clouds parted, and the voice of the divine Anna Russell proclaimed from on high, "I'm not the least bit surprised!"

There's also quite clearly a different animation crew that did "Natural Enemy," "PU 239," and "Trial." (I think they do mention this in the interviews on the DVDs, but I forget precisely who worked on which episode, and I'm too lazy to go look again... )

Whee, more manga characters make it to the small screen. They did a good job with Koil, Aramaki's Russian friend, and the weird little beady-eyed thug who takes Motoko to meet w/ the hacker. The hacker's "pets" were pretty cool too. Serious "EEEeeewww" factor when one of them sta...

no more a rip off of GitS than some of the stuff i've put out there so i should just stay quiet about that. Ooh, what kind of stuff have you put out there, Elmo? May we see? here is a website of one of my fav. artist. someof his work loks very GitSy. Yes, some GitSy-ness...and definitely much NSFW....

You win.

Thanks, Jeni, but I was actually thinking of amended that to Motoko and Anissina from Kyo Kara Maoh...Do I still win?^^;

Togusa and Fuu from Samurai Champloo

Looks like CafePress still has Laughing Man logo stuff aplenty:

Hah? What farts? Did this not happen on the Adult Swim that we Left Coasties get for some odd reason? Or is your post the April fool's joke? :? Batou: "Dogs don't like me." Yep, definitely a different continuum from the movies. Wonder if someone's gotten ticked about all the fanfics about ...

Got SE Vol. 4. Yep, three figures (go CEO Jameson!) but no soundtrack CD. Someone at Amazon's not earning their keep...

And the kid still has his organic body, and seems a little younger than 15 to me. Way younger than 15 IMHO, with that voice, body size--heck, doubt he's even hit puberty yet. I know that Motoko believes in letting it all hang out, and the Japanese tend to be mellower about such things than us Purit...
