Why the different opening style?
Why did they turn away from computer graphics? Not complaining, as I think GIG's opening is more fluid, but would like to know the reasoning behind the change, if anybody can clue me in?

Then you are unlikely to get your hands on it, since I believe that even on Japanese DVDs it was replaced with CG.
I wouldn't consider downloading something I've already bought as piracy. And considering that if it wasn't for fansubs, I'd never had bought a single anime volume, in the first place, I think it's wrong to say that they are entirely bad for the business. Now I'm spending hundreds of euros on anime, thanks to P2P.

The different openings
I was disappointed that the two openings for season one where not made available as part of the extras on the SAC disks. I have seen the montage opening and I prefer it to the CG opening. Alternatively, the SAC:2nd Gig closing also features the outro with "Christmas in the Silent Forest". I don't know if the animation is different, but I do prefer the music "In the Shell" and "Christmas" to "Lithium Flower". Has anyone seen the "Christmas" outro?

Re: The different openings
Christmas in the Silent Forest is not an outro but an intro as wikipedia says. Last episoe is exceptional of course.RPManny wrote:Alternatively, the SAC:2nd Gig closing also features the outro with "Christmas in the Silent Forest".

The second opening feels a lot more dynamic and well-placed in my opinion. I preffer the concistency of different speeds of movement, and the force behind some of the scenes, such as when motoko breaks the bridge when she jumps on it. I don't think that could have ever been done as well in 3d.
