in the shell

I think that the SAC/SSS Motoko actually looks a lot less relatable, human-wise.

Ack sorry- I particularly mean the original series of SAC. SAC 2nd Gig actually has more shots here and there of her that looked better to me.

Marto- nice AMV! Flows well ^_^. What did you use to make it? I started one an AMV (not GitS) over a year ago using Adobe Premier, but it captured the video kind of "jerky" (the frames are stilted) even though I bravely chose to work on the raw footage uncompressed (I know that for uploadi...

All very nice (the art)! Someone should start a fan art thread (didn't there used to be one?)... I'll dig out my little SD SAC Motoko sprite gif and post it too :D Plus she will always be the original Ah no... As I say in another post, the 1st manga Motoko is technically the original... by a good fe...

I agree, shiny people look plastic. But it would look a lot like the MMI (Man-Machine Interface) manga if they went in for the shiny plastic people look. Could create a surrealist 'artificial people' atmosphere, capitalising on the alreasy surreal artificial nature of CGI? GitS needs to stay Anime ...

Hey Fainaru, Twelve and Dark (like my shortened names? :P) Nice to meet you! Yay for FF lovers, and yay for FFVIII fans in particular (too many people aren't kind enough to that beautiful, lovely game :x ). Hooray for Motoko, hip hip hooray for Batou! And five thumbs up for Dr. Who (wha? Five thumbs...

er you should probably level Van up a bit. You don't want later characters to join at a level 12 ^_^ (there's a NPC that joins your party later and he joins at whatever level Van is). OOOOOHHH HECK >_< !!! Thanks for the advance warning, Jeni. Is it Larsa? Oh please don't let it be Larsa; I like hi...

Macross Plus soundtracks have real gems on them. Yes yes! I adored those; chased them obsessively when I was 17 :P I think Akino Arai's "Voices" on those CDs is a beautiful song. I love "After, in the dark ~ Torch Song", "Pulse" and "Santi-U" as well on those...

Hee hee FF:TSW. All the freckles on the faces and wrinkles and such. That was so cool ^_^.

I love Macross Plus and Sharon Apple too. One of the first times I was really introduced to the virtual idol concept.

Uh... I read somewhere that it is, in fact, dead now. They have have gone back on that (read that news some time last year), but it sounds like they've abandoned it. It's okay in a way though, as I don't really care to see all their names and ethnicities changed like they were going to do to the cha...

Yeah, Saito-geek-chan (lol!), that logo does look a lot nicer

Hello hello! And hello (that's... 3 new people I think?). :mrgreen: ->This is my favourite emoticon. He's so welcoming, that mr. green. I just realised, the first time I was ever here would have been on the old boards nearly 9 years ago! To me, that is a little mindbending. And there are still peopl...

Eh- what was the guy thing? Playing football on stilts? Hey, if I could play football or walk on stilts, I'd be right up there with them!

If you think about it. Fiction writers have always lead the way. From going to the bottom of the sea to space flight. The Sci-Fi writers were not only taking us there but doing it in a surprisingly realist way. Yep! Actually, I think some of the various Discovery Channels have shown cool documentar...

VWEEE!!!! Hey!

Yes yes, several medical benefits etcetera. I can tell who would be the first to line up if all this was ever really available (most of the people here, LOL!!)... By the mid-2000s (i.e. now) having a personal computer or at least the skills to use one is almost compulsory in most modern western soci...
