in the shell

Hi, I meant it as a compliment, so please do take it as one! I suppose the Major may be nicer than she seems, I guess I'm still holding a grudge from when she sent the Tachikoma's away to be killed off or reprogramed. It was lucky they didn't get rid of all of them! I suppose she thought they were d...

Hello, Ok I searched about a bit and don't see this topic already done, if it is, I appologise and ask for directions to said topic. I have some questions about Batou. 1. It says (usually) that he isnt full cyborg, what is his percentage and which bits are real? (I'm guessing head as I posted in ano...

I dont know the timeline, but since Batou managed not to get shot, earned the Major's seldom givin trust, and had his eyes in, I believe he was already post rangers. Plus hasnt it been established that he served in the world wars, and this acording to Saito was after them? So What Is with those eyes...

Yeh that bit creeped me out too!!! I mean, its bad enough, and kinda silly to walk around in her undies all day with "the boys" (I feel bad for Togusa's wife!) but she seemed to be pushing it with that kid. Though he did sort of start it by checking out her, uh, prostetics, when he was try...

Masaki Yamada is an amazing author, apparently he is very famous in Japan. After reading this book, which I thought was going to be a throw away, I wanted more from Yamada. I hunted about for translations and only found one other, a Y.A. book on Amazon.com. (I even emailed Locus which is reportedly ...

The messenger bag is kinda cute, not that I need another one.

*drools over the idea of someone able to sew clothing from GitS or Final Fantasy 7 Advent Children*

So why doesn't Bandai pander to us loot having stuff wanters???

Yeh boys, (and some girls) like nearly naked chicks, yawn, not much of a surprise. But for coolness Sac 2nd gig is the best. She looked pretty foolish sometimes wandering around in her undies, dontcha think? There is a line between sexy and stupid. I think you get a much better effect with inference...

Hi, I was just about to send off a nasty letter to Amazon.com It listed Vol 4 as having 4 figures and a soundtrack... Mine had 2 figures the end. They changed the listing to say 2 figures and a soundtrack, and sent me another one, with again, only the 2 figures. Urge to kill rising... So in reality,...

Hi, Im new too! Yep I'm pretty sure Batou likes the major. Personally I think he is too nice and sensitive for someone as hardcore as her. Also, I have an friend who also is dyslexic but wont go online because he is worried about his spelling and so on. Im glad you came on! Maybe he will from your e...

Well, it is hard to say anything after the last reply, which was very very interesting, but I'll take a shot. I agree that Oshii was not looking to give us as simple an ending as "Happy" or "sad". Oshii seems to be exploring the sentients experiance of life. I don't use the word ...

Hello all,
New here,

You can avoid having the second season spoiled, (like I foolishly did) by fast forwarding to 1min 30 sec.

Does it look like to any of you that Batou's hair is cut?
