I would have loved Kawai as much as the next person, but the story and animation methods used in GITS SAC wouldn't have gone with his style.
I'm hyped as heck to see what tunes Cornelius is going to provide because I feel that his musical library fits the cyberpunk Shirow was aiming for in the first place.

Remember that awesome song from the GITS movies? Me either. Kanno on the other hand, can plagarize Bjork all goddamn day long for all I care, just keep being awesome.

AnimeGAF was quarantined to the OT Community.On the brighter side, this thread seems to have brought out all the animu fans who've gone into hiding these past few months! Nice to know theres a sizeable community on Neogaf, besides the ones on the Gundam megathread.
What's the composer of Gundam 00 got to do with this?
Good news but except for Cornelius I'm not getting my hopes very high.
Time to rewatch.YES:

Kenji Kawai or go to hell.
Floating Museum and Nightstalker are amazing on the GITS soundtrack.
Conversely Kanno pumped out some incredible tunes on GITS SAC as well.
The two are apples and oranges.

There's a very active anime thread in the community forum.
Anyway, design looks pretty good. Choice of writer is sketchy is fuck.
Bwahaha. He has a cardboard tachikoma suit painted blue that he has to wear around, and he's constantly trying to avoid the annoying female tachikoma who is desperately in love with him.

I do love anime, but I'm very selective about it because I have so many things on my plate. I prefer more mature and realistic themes. Not that I don't like shonen sometimes though. GitS and Dragon Ball are easily my two favorite series.

As long as it's better than SAC season 2, I'm game.

Anime will never look that cool ever again
Akira, Ninja Scroll, Macross Plus, Patlabor, Yu Yu Hakusho, older Gundams, Jin-Roh, e.t.c.
Even post-Frieza DBZ looks so much better than this clean look they've been doing for like a decade.
Not that I'm complaining about the newer animes themselves (I'm sure there was lots of bad stuff back then too and I know there's plenty of good stuff now...that I don't watch). I just strongly prefer this art style.

The songs set a good mood for the scenes they are in but they are not very good compared with what's available in ambient these days. I take it back for Making of Cyborg though. That song defines GITS

I saw Macross Plus for the first time a while ago and the visuals made my jaw drop. And the music was so perfect that it left me in a trance.
Dat ending theme.
I didn't care much for the plot since I never watch the earlier Macross anime but everything else just blew me away.

Not really digging Motoko's new look. It's kind of weird seeing her hair as blue since I'm accustomed to it being purple. Maybe it'll grow on me. I definitely want to see what sort of stories they will come up with this time round.
Kenji Kawai did the soundtrack for the Patlabor movie so he'll always be awesome to me.

She's a cyborg. What the fuck does her appearance have to do with being fit? There's even a scene in SAC where she tells Batou he's wasting his money on gym gear as his stature and strength is already predefined. There's no reason she can't be tough looking like that. Heck, it'd be an interesting approach.
I love Ghost in the Shell. I got a PlayStation for the original game. But I'd like to see an approach that focuses more on the postmodernism and less on the lesbian shower scenes. Or was that Appleseed?

It's been an age since I've seen the original. About time I relive the glory.
All I really need is Des Mangan to press play on the VHS machine and offer that trademark smirk.
Aussies will know what I'm talking about.

I'm ready for another lesson from master pizzaroll, but I thought some of the original GitS was done on traditional cels? I've seen matte/background paintings floating around, as well as images like this:
Although, your wallet might ache.
Nope. It was drawn on paper and digitally composited, much like the anime of today.

Ah, ok. That makes sense.
It was really ahead of it's time in 1995!
The Patlabor movies have lots of digitally composited cuts, but the GitS movie was the first to be done entire like that, afaik. Jin-Roh and Blood TLV were made with a similar process, and the Blood TLV BD has both the film and digital master to choose from too.

I nearly bought a Patlabor cel once, and I kind of regret not pulling the trigger. Do you know which scenes from Patlabor were composited? Is there an obvious transition? I've always thought the first scene from the original movie looked a bit strange compared to the rest, but I'm not sure if compositing has anything to do with that.
It's really obvious on the Blu-rays because all the digitally composited scenes have brown edges on the sides from the underscanned film printing + light passing through during scanning. Not sure if they were cropped out on the DVD.

Any idea what the compositing technique was called, Pizzaroll?
I tried checking my collector's set, and I only noticed optical printing in the glossary of the storyboard book.

Not sure -- did they coin a specific name for it?

No idea, hahaha, I just wondered if you happened to know what they were doing for it off the top of your head.

True that, i think my favorite design was in the Oshii movies, tbh.
Especially the face:

NO:
It's a huge improvement IMHO, the lips of SAC Motoko are one of the worst things in the series.
