I do like their navigation even though it is flash based. It's not just pretty, it's actually functional. I've seen a couple of sites that were so heavily flashed that I could not find the hot spots to get actions to happen - those are too hard to use. On thier music page I do not recognize the 'be ...

http://www.aeroni.com/gits/series.htm

Seems to be last updated in 2006 - but since I had never been there it was all newish to me...

We anticipate a detailed review.

What was good, what was bad. Was the story changed or just he presentation.

Reviews by fans are far more informative than reviews from professional reviewers.

That was a boy in the Tachikoma episode? I coulda sworn it was a girl. But then anime is so androgynous sometimes.

I'm with Saito there. I took a class in college where we studied the works of American playwrights and one of the huge things that came out of it was about the symbolism used by the writer. At the time I thought that was utter bunk. I still think most of it is, but a thought that I had later on rela...

I agree that the library is real. There is even an exchange about the storage of obsolete information between Aramaki and Aoi. Aramaki asks how long he will do it and Aoi replies "As long as they will let me." It was unclear if he was working as a librarian in someone else's library or if ...

The Major.... Hacked.....

I guess it is possible, Aoi did link with her while all of her defenses were down when he saved her fro the assassin, so he might have her ghost key.

All of us are reaching for our DVDs now to go watch that ep again though!

Hi Gareth,

Might be a small world... Did you attend Rosebank School in Hartlepool by any chance? Some time around 1977-ish

If you have a fear of crappy 3D anime then I suggest watching the two recent Appleseed movies. No, those are not 3D .... They may be rendered in 3D inside some computer somewhere, but by the time you see it, they are plain of 2D. 3D is that crappy stuff like "Jaws 3 in 3D" or "Spaceh...

Been lurking a while. This thread made me come out of hiding... No one mentioned the horror yet... "in - 3D" Each of the previous incarnations manga/movie/series changed a little of the characters and the story. But some elements remained the same (exploration of what it means to be human ...
