I thought it was passable for a hollywood interpretation of the film. With many of the coolest action sequences, the tank fight scene and the "shelling" sequence of the original 1995 film re enacted in exquisite detail. Visually the city, the cyberpunk feel of a japanese city in the future...

This article popped up on my own newsfeed because of my interest in GitS https://thenerdsofcolor.org/2016/11/14/ghost-in-the-shell-trailer-drops-and-yes-its-just-as-racist-as-everything-else-this-week/ And wow. The venom in that writing. Now to see if I can edit my newsfeed and black list sites. Wh...

Just saw the news and came to post here. I think if they stick to the originall 1995 versions as closely as possible it can work out with Scarjo. Although the major is originally japanese, her body is purely synthetic accept her brain so she and batou can probably pass with foreign (american or euro...

NOooo way dudes this is blasphemy! I think the only directors that can execute this properly are Chris Cunningham, Ridley Scott and maaaaybe, jj abrahams. They have proven sci fi track records. Also she has to be japanese, why not Rinko kikuchi she looks like the current Motoko from Arise. It has to...

Awww dude that sucks! I was wondering who would do the dub, not to happy about this. I've seen GITS in both english and japanese and it's the one anime I prefer to watch the english dub. Because of Epcar and McGlynns awesome voice acting.

Wonder if there might be English subtitles? That's awesome I hope someone records it. YouTube should be able to do both! 8) Live Events (via hangouts) are automatically recorded and can then be viewed at any time, and some of these get automated subs (done by voice recognition, but it`s probably no...

Making of PS1 GITS game!

I love seeing stuff like this. The game was great too. It had a lot of cool cut scenes with Masamune shirow style animation.
Here are the cut scenes

I think there there's a definitely an element of zen though out the first film. The scene where panning shots of the city and music is played kind of very minimalist and zen like way. But zen buddhism doesn't have the re incarnation dogma that other sects of buddhism have.

Re: Technological singularity projections.

At my most cynical I say probably not before we destroy our selves. Ah, be optimistic! It's the singularity that WILL destroy us - so they arrive at the same time :D Yeah I figured that, damn 45 views and only one comment. I would think so many GITS fans would be fascinated by the prospect of a tec...

Technological singularity projections.

One of the things GITS really got me thinking about was how soon we really are to a similar future technology wise. At my most cynical I say probably not before we destroy our selves. But when I look at Moore's law and I think about how technological advancement is exponential, I realize it might be...
