in the shell

As for evangelion, I bought it, watched it, and was left with one remark at the movie's Evangelion finalle- The end of evangelion: ".....So...what was the big fuss about?..what's so special?" While indeed, seeming very deep, in my opinion there's only one phylosophy behind it - Shinji nee...

As for identity, I think who we are is closely tied to the matter we are made of, or at least the matter that out brain is made of. If you were to die and a copy of your brain were exactly replicated, down to the last molecule (including neural connections and the memories and aspects of personality...

I hate to sound rude, but you need a serious reality check.

I would think that being a woman would most certainly be worse when you are being acousted by thugs. They would see you as being an easy target, someone not worthy of their fear and theirfore respect, they may even rape you. A tall, powerful looking man is much less likely to be mugged, and more lik...

No one calls you Motoko, we all call you Marto.

I probably should have mentioned it initially, but my interpretation is based on the mangas (only the original incarnation will do for me). It was also a major gaff on my part to leave out that Ghost in the Shell is about the qualification of life, or more precisely when is something considered to b...

When you "buy" something on the Darkhorse web site, you are actually linked to a third party that sells the product. In and of itself that is not a problem, but the third party site does not always sell the product for its original price and does not always have the item in stock (at least...

...another question. What manga was that from exactly? I've read and reread the mangas MMI, and the original, and I don't recall anything of the sort.

Its from the final (all black and white) chapter of the first manga.

I don't think so, when Gabriella does not respond Motoko says, "Maybe she's away and her Gen 6 took over?"

If Gabriella were a dog, I doubt something would be taking over for her.

I always liked Ragathol. Maybe I should go to his web site's web board and tell him that the In the Shell Forum is back up.

Luke and Chris

I thought one of them (I can't remember which) got banned for flaming.

All I can say is that this web board needs you Marto, your its lifeblood.

By the way, was the new Appleseed film good? I did not get around to seeing it yet. I read something weird about it starting out with Deunan waking up to discover that her human partner Bri is now a cyborg (instead of one all along from the moment you meet them, like in the manga)!! What a strange ...

Best Buy is only good if you are looking for fairly common fair, otherwise I would suggest Suncoast. But, since most of Miyazaki's movies are fairly well know, you should probably be able to find them at Best Buy. The Suncoast at the mall nearest to me went out of business, I'm so distraught. Howev...

From a philosopical point of view what do you think that Ghost in the Shell is about? What is its primary theme? I think that GITS is about life and what it entails, being born, changing in order to survive, reproducing, and dieing. It is about birth in that it is about the birth of the combined Mot...

Were all just playing his sick game, even I'm playing it right now. This topic should be locked.
