the medium may be anime, but the story and the soul-longing is far-reaching and risk-taking than what one finds in your average characters and screenplay.All I can say is that GitS really made an impact on my life
I totaly agree. when I first sat down to watch Innocence I had no idea what is was gonna be like content waise, and seeing as the Major had changed I was expecting some big changes in what was gonna be shown. I was really hoping they didnt change the vibe of the soundtrack as that almost made GitS for me. when I heard the jazz vibes come in, the rich, warm, subtle tones of upright bass and sax I was blown over. They had added to the soundscape and far from it taking awya from it it just took it to another level. i had invisaged this film was probably about Batou, and I was worried about how much I identified with him, but the whole jazz element really struck home with me. It made me think on bladerunner a lot actually and I watched bladerunner twice in a row right after I watched innocence.Tonks_kittygoth wrote:I picked Innocence for personal asthetic reasons as well as philosophical ones.
I like "old style" anime fine but I Love film noir which I think Innocence was greatly based on, hence the old cars, the jazz, the muted color scheme, the sense of surreality of the mixed cgi elements, the connecton with Belmers work, the Yakuza (read mob) contections, the sense of unrequitable longing, and on and on.
Or the fact that it lacked proper subtitles?Jeni Nielsen wrote:What do you mean? Are you talking about the fact that it doesn't have a dub track?niko86 wrote:Whats up with the region 1 release?
Well it was actually Go Fish pictures (a subsidiary of Dreamworks). They still haven't released Casshern as far as I can tell, so I certainly agree with you there.Black Mamba wrote:Or the fact that it lacked proper subtitles?Jeni Nielsen wrote:What do you mean?

Or the fact that the cover art was ugly?
Or just the overall all fact that Dreamworks abviously can't handle an anime realse?
