If it works out like The Departed did from Infernal Affairs, then it'd be good. And departed had an A-list cast, but I guess characters are infinitely more important here. Appleseed would be great as a live-esque film

Well they may not look like humans but we could just treat them the same as we do other people. We already only expierence life from our own point of view. If we can treat other people well with this handicap, then the same applies to anything. For a while there may be the 'black' or the 'jew' type ...

That is why I gave them credit. Like I said, I won't say anything bad about GITS, I liked it too much. What ever the reason, it made for a good show. And to follow on to the next point.. Also, for the record, I would like to point out that I am personally not convinced that Kuze is dead. Well we co...

but instead the creators took a more realistic approach filled with unhappy endings and issues unsolved. I once read that an inexpierenced author kills their main character at the end of the story rather than say have a happy ending in an attempt to show how creul and unforgiving the world is. The ...

Well I'm sure they are good, but look at the effort Snatcher went through. Don't write off fan subs. For example, one thing I disliked about the English Dub was cyberbrains are now refered to as e-brains. As if the english speaking audience are 2 week old computer illerates, and the previous film me...

Wow, that's pretty heavy going there. Where did you get the original storyboards and scripts? So your saying that the region 2 version I have [U.K.] has the worst subtitles, the Japanese version which has English subtitles is better? That's unfortunate cos I doubt I'll get my hands on that. I was th...

Watch it. While we're on the topic, I won't bother with a new thread for this... I bought Innocence recently with English Dub. I'd seen it a few times with English Fan-subs. But this Richard Epcar guy who directed the English version and did Batou's voice seems to have used his artisitic licence. So...
