I'd post a copy of the magazine article I originally saw the lenses in, Gillsing, but I haven't the foggiest notion how to attach images to my forum postings. I'm so computer illiterate!! (collapses weeping onto keyboard)I use Opera, so all I got to see was a black screen with the top menu. Sad

Motoko's eye color v. NikeVision
Hello Folks,
It's been quite a while since I have visited these forums, so I was surprised and pleased to find them active. I decided to post because I felt that that could through in my two cents from a personal perspective (for the record, 2 cents and a Starbucks gift card will get you a triple-vente capuccino with 2 raw sugars--made dry, but not afford you the tip).
Since the 3rd grade, I've worn glasses and I have experimented with different tinted lenses through my life. I have tried graded-grays, brown, red, orange-brown, and dark gray. I have also tried clip-ons -- yeech!!! The orange-browns and browns are great for working outside with trees, and plants. Try a pair of orange sunglasses at a football or baseball game. The green of the field stands out and helps you to isolate players. However, this color is worthless (IMHO) on a body of water, especially one dyed brown by tannic acid. Here, gray-shaded lenses with polarization work best.
I suppose, that if one were to be in the line of work of Kusanagi, adjustable light filtration would be the best way to go when considering visual input. It wouldn't matter the color of your iris's, they could be any color that your stylistic sense dictated.
Best regards,
RPM

I think she just likes the way they look w/ her purple hair
Those contacts are cool though. An x of mine bought those blue blocker glasses. They were kinda cool, but as an artist, it bugged me not seeing real color, (well my subjective version of color.)

Because purple hair and pinkish-red eyes are a winning combination that have been used for ages in anime/manga. Because they had to nick purpl as one of the coolest hair colours and give it to Motoko, thus thinning the pool of character design that bit more for all who follow and create things along fairly "cyber" lines. Aspiring creators everywhere are going, "But I wanted to do a purple-haired cyber heroine! It isn't fair..." And the eyes? They're my personal heartache... The character who I've kept in my heart since I created her at the age of 15 has surreal pink eyes. I'm not changing them, either. If I ever get her famous they can live with it.
