Let's talk about Appleseed?
>>
>>14152030
What about it?

What's worth watching?
>>
Didn't the Kobe Quake make Shirow give up on finishing Appleseed for drawing oily horsecocks?
>>
>>14152066
>What's worth watching?
The OVA. The CG Movies are very hit or miss, but Alpha was decent.
>>
>>14152079
Cool. I've passed over it several times.
>>
>>14152079
I think 2004 its decent too.

Ex Machina and XIII are shit.
>>
>>14152030
It will never be finished and it's doomed to be raped by CG movies and the abortion that was the TV show. What more is there to say?
>>
>>14152223
Ex Machina's okay as a pretty looking CG sci-fi movie, it's just a terrible Appleseed movie.
>>
>>14152725
>What more is there to say?

Horse cock
>>
>>14152818
We must begin the Shirow summoning ritual.
OILY BLACK MEN
HORSE COCK
OILY WOMEN
>>
>>14152030
Only read the manga so far.Since I always liked making a city state based empire with top notch tech and strike force in 4x games,this manga intrigued me a lot.

Too bad many suck Oshii's dick i.e. that 1995 movie while Shirow remains unknown in the fandom.
That guy really had knack for world building,but then he ends up overdoing it.(Man machine interface,Orion)
>>
I found the story to be a complete mess but I love the style
>>
>>14152074
Kinda. He lost all his work, like almost all the Vol. 5 of Appleseed and other things. He kinda tried to remake what he lost from Appleseed and published in it databook.

But in the end "Horse Cocks, Horse Cocks everywhere".

I don't know, i always think Appleseed worked better for series and live action movies. Its have much more action and less technobabble then GiTS and both Duenan and Briareos aren't Asians. So, no "you are whitewashing his works, shitlord".

Also, Giant Spider Tanks of Death.
>>
Tfw the 80s OVA should have been awesome but ended up being the most mediocre thing ever.
>>
>>14153410
Briareos is/was black and Deunan is mixed, though
>>
>>14153665
>That second movie where they make his pre-cyborg self a Japanese prettyboy
I was unreasonably mad.
>>
>>14152030
>most accurate depiction of LAPD cops in comics
>>
>>14153670
>Deunan is too much Asian in the second movie
Man, that movie sucks.
>>
>>14153670
>>14154315

Japs gonna jap.
>>
>>14153665
Well, Deunan is half-everything, except Japonese.
>>
>>14152030
needs more oil
>>
>>14154517
>Implying Briareos don't cover Deunan in oil every night.
>>
>>14153689
Now i am curious. LAPD have Landmates?
>>
>>14152829
Isn't Briareos black himself?
>>
>>14153410
Kusanagi isn't Japanese either. She is a full cyborg except her brain.
>>
>>14154616

He was until the cgi shit series turned him into Japanese pretty boy Sephiroth clone #5324-B
>>
>>14154627

Sup, ScarJo.
>>
>>14154630
We can always say it's not kanon.
>>
>>14154640
Technically, ScarJo is right. Even Motoko's brain isn't Japanese.
>>
>>14154640
Hi. Please, watch the movie and buy merchandise.
>>
>>14154630
The only thing XIII do right is making him black again.
>>
>>14154630
>>14154656
Did they make him a face? He only had an artifical body with a part of it covered with artifical sking in manga but he had no face IIRC.
>>
>>14154662
Its appears in In flashbacks in XIII and in 2014 OVA, i think in Alpha too.
>>
>>14154627
Kusanagi is a fictional character created by a Japanese artist. Go fuck yourself Hollywood. And people accuse Japan of being xenophobic!

GitS is as Japanese as a John Wayne movie is American.
>>
>>14154752
Shirow said he never imagined Kusanagi as Japanese. So fuck him, right?
>>
>>14154752
>GitS is as Japanese as a John Wayne movie is American.
True but we're talking about cyborgs here. GITS Universe have lots of stock models with different appearace. Considering how all non-European people, especially Asians, dream to have European faces, Kusanagi probably looks white.
>>
>>14154649
>>14154627
The Major is Japanese. The anime and the second manga clearly show her as a little fleshy girl in Japan.
>>
>>14154828
Word of God says the Major looks like a cheap mass production female robot that you could see working at a bar or in some Hikikomori's room.
>>
>>14155057
So 100% not Japanese-looking.
>>
Too bad he just fucking lost it. Well, second part of Dominion was pretty nice
>>
>>14153653
Some of the stuff was pretty entertaining, like when Briareos raised a dude's rear wheels so he couldn't get away. Shame the whole thing wasn't that good.
>>
>>14154592
Hey, if you had the option you would too.
>>
Anyone got the philosophy raws release? It's yuuuge, but he usually does good.
Is it worth it?
>>
>>14153410
gits is better science fiction though.
>>
>>14156963
how?
By that point it was usual shlock until that Oshii Movie
>>
>>14156963
> Lots of Technobabble and MUH philosophy
> good science fiction
Choice one
>>
>>14157098
And then it became boring schlock
>>
>"Cool, an appleseed discussion!"
>the anime

oh nvm
