in the shell

er...a braincase?

Ok, I can dig Charlize as Motoko, but I still think Morgan Freeman would totally rock as the Old Ape (maybe if he stands in a trench?).
Boma's a toughie...John Goodman, maybe?

I used to prefer to watch subbed anime--still do, in a lot of cases--but over the past decade or so, the quality of English dubs has increased dramatically (cases in point: SAC, Cowboy Bebop, Fullmetal Alchemist) so now I'd just as soon watch in English and not get distracted by the subtitles...

I've been puzzling over that myself. Maybe he was brain-diving that security guard at the police brass function, along with Baby Ruth?

I do, and it's pretty high quality I'd say.

But didn't Sony BGM pull out all it's CDs with that notorious copy protection and agreed to refund all those who bought it? I think they did, Lightice, but this shop may not have heard of it. And I'm not sure that this is the infamous copy protection, not having personally experienced it myself. Bu...

Thanks for the translation, jester. One of the things I've found frustrating about trying to watch SAC on Adult Swim is that they refuse to show the secondary subtitles for songs, street signs, etc. It's also curious that they didn't try to dub that song into English, as they did with the song at th...

...I purchased a copy the other day only to get it home and find that the dreaded Sony copy protection software is on it. Not only that, but if you were fool enough to try and register the CD online, you'd get a message that you have to be a resident of Japan to do so. Nowhere on the CD cover does i...

does anyone know what hte little blue piece (blue cylinder like thing) is for? came with the other tachi, is it suppose to hold it up? That's what it appears to be for. How's the paint job on your Togusa? Mine kinda looks like he's got five o'clock shadow due to some of the color for his hair endin...

Ok, Pazu I could understand, but no match for Ishikawa? I wouldn't think that he was that--er--unique-looking...

Wow, brilliant ending to the series! Proto sounded almost envious of the tachis. I wonder if he has a Ghost? I hope they'll explore his character more in SSS. And I hope the tachis do make a comeback, since it looks like they were moving their memories elsewhere (and the new mini-tanks don't seem ne...

Don't forget the scene between the two of them in the penultimate ep of 1st Gig, after the tachis destroy the armed suits...seriously steamy...

...it is GITS-related, and I suppose if I don't someone else will. Decidedly NSFW due to rude lyrics and repetitive flash video. Moderator gods and godesses, feel free to delete this post if you will--on the other hand, you may find it strangely amusing, if your head doesn't explode after the first ...

I think he looks more like a leprachaun, myself...

What do you mean "Aramaki cops a feel"? That's just gross. Just a tasteless joke on my part, douyang--he only pats Kayabuki reassuringly on the arm. But he's totally teh dirty ol' man in SAC, isn't he? Lets Motoko perch on his desk in her skimpy outfits, snuggles with that pretty young wi...
