in the shell

[quote="hazle"]The tachikoma's kamikaze song. I've been watching and rewatching the last episode just so I can hear them sing. And then I'll get teary eyed. I know, I'm a sucker for pain.[/quote] haha. I totally agree. I have it on my ringtone. And people wonder why I answer in a somber to...

Plot-twist? nah.

Use-less? Not entirely. I think it's one of those quirky interludes that adds a smidgen of depth into their lives.

lol.

I guess, it all depends on her 'shell' at the time. There could be no definitive answer. Unless you speak of a certain time period.

It only takes but a minute electron to give charge to something great.

True. But you might be underestimating the trauma that Motoko [i]might[/i] go through, (having lost an arm, even if it is prosthetic), inwhich something like that would transfer over (unconsciously) to her avatar.

Lot of what if on my part, but I see your point.

But in essence, It's the synergy of all those involved that elevate the idea from one man's glimmer of a whim, to a veritable fortress of greatness to be appreciated by all whom look upon it.

Yeah, I read about that this morning!

haha. And I'm guessing our robot overlords will be feminine and breaking down half the time. I think we can win the resistance.

I think it is completely virtual. As Motoko's watch is her Constant to her ghost. So is the image AND function of a library to Aoi. (whatever he may be now).

It's gonna suck for Live-action. But luckly it's been determined to be complete CGI.

Good point. His love life seems to be quite mysterious indeed. Perhaps as handsome as he looks now, he may have been quite the lady-killer in his hey-day. Infact, I would imagine he was self-distructive in his relationships, till the war changed him. After the war, he was able to make more solid rel...

Virtual icons are nothing new. It's just a "progressive" step from animation idols.

Thank you very much.

Actually Watchmen turned out great. But that's because it was done by NON-hollywood group:

Legendary Pictures
DC Comics

although i'll give you, big Hollywood did distribute it.
