Looks like an action fest, I hope it has the story to back up the animation etc It's got pretty big shoes to fill.

I apologise in advance for my ignorance and inflicting my opinion upon you all but… What a complete load of garbage. Page after page of her floating around in cyber space. Page after page of techno babble dialogue that adds nothing to the story. I’m hoping 1.5 has at least some of the entertainment ...

Daily life of high school boys

Ignore the title, this is a very funny, very clever series. Each ep is cut into short segments revolving around the main high school students plus surrounding characters. Each segment is like a short sketch. Well worth checking out if your looking for something a little refreshing from the norm.

Can talk about either really. I just ordered NGE 1.11 & 2.22 Not watched yet. I'm kind of expecting a shortened version of the series with much less room for character development. Will be good to see the newer animation, plus where the story goes with the new characters/plot etc. I didn't think...

1.5 or 2

I've finally finished the first manga which I'm so glad I did. It was like discovering GITS all over again and makes me appreciate Oshii's vision that much more. Obviously 1.5 is set between 1 and 2 but as it was written afterward does anyone had any recommendation on what order I should read them o...

On a GITS forum, no one has a favorite soundtrack or an opinion? I would have to say I love the original movie soundtrack however its difficult to stand up to the first two series soundtracks because a fair amount of it is meant to be background tracks to the movie. I would say SAC OST 1&2 are m...

Recap / remake movies

What do we think of recap / remake movies for example Evangelion Death and rebirth, the new Evangelion movies, The Berserk Golden age movies etc Do they add anything to the franchise or just a way of cashing in? Personally speaking Death and rebirth was a travesty to me as someone who hadn't at that...

Might as well answer this myself before the topic goes dead. If I remember correctly my first encounter was my uncle hiring the Fist of the North star movie on VHS. At that age I was immediately hooked by the most ultra violent cartoon I had ever seen. From that point on it was more video hiring plu...

Got through the first set up episodes, watched ep 4 last night, where they sent the retrieval team to collect the special weapon. Woah!

Randomly I watched the first ep the other night when looking for something new to watch. I really loved the animation and the story/characters seemed intriguing enough. With your recommendation I'll definitely check out more of it. Its nice its not a 22 ep long series as well.

I can't help but think they chose quite an unfortunate picture for this petition. Pale, pointy chins, big blue eyes, it's probably the most SJ has ever resembled Motoko.

I'm deffo going to watch all of Arise, I think my initial dissapointment has worn off enough now and it is good to see Motoko getting knocked about a bit and not being the kick ass character we know from old as this allows more development and realistic growth. From the manga so far, the character i...

GITS music

While I'm on the theme of music, if you look up Vitek on Itunes there is a couple of cool, slowed down versions of Inner universe (one instrumental, one vocals) as well as Making of a cyborg, really worth checking out if you haven't stumbled across them already.
