Any GITS '95 fanatic out here?
This anime really is Shirow's masterpiece

also I liked Dominion; Tank Police when I was a kid but I realize this one might seem fucked up a little

Shirow didn't have much to do with the movie besides create the source material.
The actual manga itself is more smut with technobabble thrown in.
You can place the credit on Oshii.

I'm trying to find signature scenes in GitS 2015 to convert into webm, but there is a serious lack of anything memorable or impressive animation-wise. I do have some laughable scenes to share though.

they even did Motoko's arm ripping in Arise. homage is nice but it's funny how the memorable moments are the ones from the original movie still.

It just doesn't teach you anything new.

Stop rehashing and trying to cash in on the classic, you cant re-create Oshii's genius, not even he could with Innocence. Let it dieeee- oh never mind we have that Scarlett Johansson remake coming up dont we kek

It's not a dissertation, kuck. If it was you'd just call it pretentious anyways.

It merely discusses some philosophy that relates to it's themes, nothing more. It's not trying to impress anyone like you are right now.

95 GITS is great, TV show was enjoyable. I have actively avoided Arise and will probably skip out on the remake.

The webm clips make it look like a low budget cash-in on a known franchise.
>>
>>134806191
Motoko lost limbs in pretty much every episode of Arise.
>>
>>134804604
No. No, it's not Shirow's masterpiece. It's Oshii's masterpiece, as it was definitively unlike Shirow's work. Mind you, I'm actually complaining right now, I like Shirow way more than Oshii.

Is there another cyberpunk tale that comes even close to the 1995 film and Stand Alone Complex?

The director of the show didnt even understand the point of the movie
It was a good crime show, but about as deep as a tablespoon of water

>>134812459
SAC had better writing than the movie which was Oshii trying to prove he is REALLY REALLY DEEP

>>134812459
The director of the movie didn't even understand the point of the manga. The director of SAC, however, perfectly captured the spirit of Shirow's work, thus fixing the mistakes of the '95 movie.

The source material was mediocre and flawed with Masamune's bad habits
Oshii turned that mediocre manga into a masterpiece

I recently saw the the original movie. I was pretty disappointed and have no desire to watch the sequel, but it was interesting enough to make me want to watch the TV series. I hope it doesn't disappoint.

>>134812648
Disagreed. All of Shirow's habits are good. Heh.

Well, '95 and SAC are doing their own things, so there's no point in direct comparison of traits. Objectively speaking, I'd say they are equally good in different ways, though I liked SAC more.

Get the fuck over it. The 95 movie and SAC are still there. Nobody has touched those.

it tries to be a mix of the films and SAC and fails horribly at both

the first Arise ep is ok I guess.

If it's good, loads of people will get into anime, more western adaptions will be made, and more newfags will arrive.
If it's shit, it'll be shit and also all of the above will happen but to a lesser degree.

Dang.

SAC was amazing, both seasons

I even liked Arise, just getting to see and hear Motoko is worth it IMO

That voice actress is 10/10 in all respects


Anyway, can anyone recommend me a similar anime movie to watch tonight?

After watching the movies and SAC a long time ago now I'm left with the urge for a good manga adaptation with Motoko which is more energetic and slutty.

I only want to see the boat scene animated.

At least SAC has one whole season to set the scene up, which was somewhat satisfying.
>>
>>134815852
Yeah i could bear it, and it wasnt a straight up ripoff, just a little homage to the original
The director worked with Oshii too so it made sense
But why the fuck is it in arise and this gay movie
Just stop already we get it

read snow crash, you don't think the matrix comes close to gits 95?

It was the story, the characters, the dialogue.

Any other suggestions?

Yeah that story was so convoluted, it made little to no sense

The Laughing Man Incident is best imo

I'm ok with this. A smile better reflects Majors personality in the manga. Sometimes shows have budgets.

It's way past the point of homage. It's just a constant run of scenes you remember from other versions of GitS. At least SAC was clever about it and never leaned on it.

Stand Alone Complex is pretty great. Both seasons have such huge scopes to their stories. Season one is about corporate espionage and season two is about a refugee crisis gone out of control with a Che Guevera like character.
