Being the fan of Shirow's artwork that I am, I would, of course, like to see a third manga (or fourth if you count GITS 1.5). As far as I know, he hasn't made any mangas since MMI and it would be nice to see any new manga (GITS or otherwise) by him. I know I've said it before, but what I'd really li...

I'm Spica, a college junior currently studying psychology and, to a lesser extent, philosophy (though I'm, as of yet, no expert in either field). I hope to study both subjects in graduate school (with a greater emphasis on philosophy) and eventually become a college professor. I am a free thinker an...

his electronic brain never dreams Hmm, thats weird. Doesn't Motoko dream about her cyberization at the begining of the first movie, and in the manga continuity there is at least one reference to cyborgs dreaming (during the making of a cyborg sequence in the first manga). I don't see why he wouldn'...

Wow, 20 pounds, that's like $40-$50 right? I got the American version of the DVD for $20 at Suncoast, but then, things are usually less expensive in the US.

I am interested in this EVA. Did they like make a movie that isn't a sequal to the series, but rather the entire series? Like the upcoming Laughing Man movie. The first Evangelion movie "Death and Rebirth" is basicly a sumation of the series. There would be no point in producing a movie i...

The SAC manga probably will be one of those mangas composed of screanshots with voice bubbles. They did one like that for the origional movie. If Shirow is working on any new manga I hope its either something compleatly origional or a conclusion to Appleseed (He had started on a fifth volume, but it...

Re: Stand Alone Complex glossary

Does anyone know of any websites that give a list of terms used in SAC, like Image Curtain, Probe virus, Japanese Miracle (featured in SAC 2nd Gig, episode 6) and what these terms mean, if not, do any of you know what these terms means? I know the meanings of most GITS terms. The Image Curtain is t...

I've played it quite a bit with friends. I liked it a lot better than the second one, which I refused to play after a while (mainly because I didn't like the girl's costumes, DOA has spoiled me). I can tell you that the new characters (Zasamel and Tira) are good. I usually play with Xianghuan, she's...

I'd have to say "The End of Evangelion". Its hella tight, but you should probably see either the series or the "Death" part of "Death and Rebirth" before you see the movie. I assume that you've already seen it, but if you haven't, the origional Ghost in the Shell movie ...

I've heard about it. I hope that they finally resolve that business with the bootleged vampires from Hong Kong (For example: Who was doing it and why?).

I personally am going to buy the individual issues (just like I did with MMI). That way I'll be the first kid on the block err... forum to be able to talk about all the exciting goings on. Also, the individual issues appreciate in value much more than the collections, and they each come with a neat ...

This reminds of that "Jungle Cruise" episode that YTV skiped. Maybe this new caution is brought up by that story. My guess would be that there is more gruesome violence on the way, but then again I haven't seen anything past the second DVD volume. I was going to refrence the rather distur...
