[BassForever]

Put SAO back on at least that was entertainingly bad this is just boring

 

[Jintor]

Oh, this is the philosophy episode

 

[Gambit61]

Wow, I never realized one of the Tachikomas was Kari

 

[Seda]

I remember reading Flowers for Algernon in high school.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Oh my god please kill me

You hate adorable kid killer robot spiders?

Weird one of them has the same voice as this kid:

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Workers of the world unite.

I like the cut of your jib, comrade

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Huh I recall seeing this episode years ago
I kept thinking Kari from Digimon was in there.

 

[BassForever]

Please Major come in and kill them all

[Schadenfreude]

Put SAO back on at least that was entertainingly bad this is just boring

Pay attention, loser.

Robot-tanks are forming a union for better oil and more books.

 

[Man God]

[MikeBreezy92]

You hate adorable kid killer robot spiders?

Weird one of them has the same voice as this kid:

....bad memories are returning...

 

[Jintor]

kari plz

 

[MikeMyers]

Kari and Chibiusa have the same Japanese VA.

 

[BassForever]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[Schadenfreude]

Everybody Loves Batou.

 

[foxuzamaki]

....bad memories are returning...

why bad memories, that was my childhood.

 

[Gucci Messiah]

Seriously, what is even going on here? The tachikoma's are discussing philosophy and worshipping Batou?

 

[lazybones18]

Real heroes don't torture needlessly.

Oberon was a colossal asshole. It was justified

 

[B-Dubs]

Seriously, what is even going on here? The tachikoma's are discussing philosophy and worshipping Batou?

It's all pretty important down the line.

 

[Jintor]

I'm trying to identify a bunch of these voices. I swear I've heard almost all of them before as children in various series

Oberon was a colossal asshole. It was justified

Should've stuck to waterboarding

 

[foxuzamaki]

Seriously, what is even going on here? The tachikoma's are discussing philosophy and worshipping Batou?

they're becoming more and more self aware

 

[BassForever]

I would probably enjoy these more on a rewatch, but as a first time watch I just want more Complex and Laughing Man

 

[Schadenfreude]

The Tachikomas are a who's who of American female VAs.

 

[Man God]

Seriously, what is even going on here? The tachikoma's are discussing philosophy and worshipping Batou?

They're emergent ai!

 

[mightynine]

Sorry folks, but I gotta call it here. Enjoy the rest of the night!

This episode is super important to later Complex episodes.

Stand Alone is a misnomer to a certain degree. There have been overarching storylines and themes crossing over the SA episodes, most notable of which is what has been happening to the Tachikomas.

 

[BassForever]

This episode is super important to later Complex episodes.

Maybe, but I feel like you could have gotten this point across in 5 minutes in a C episode and not taken up an entire episode with this

 

[lazybones18]

Should've stuck to waterboarding

tch, keep that barbaric nonsense to America!

 

[VariantX]

No matter how many times I rewatch GITS... i still cant follow it entirely.

 

[Man God]

Maybe, but I feel like you could have gotten this point across in 5 minutes in a C episode and not taken up an entire episode with this

Well, you're wrong!

 

[Gucci Messiah]

It's all pretty important down the line.

Hmmm, I'll pay close attention. I'm guessing this has something to do with AI becoming self aware and blurring the lines of what it means to be human.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Maybe, but I feel like you could have gotten this point across in 5 minutes in a C episode and not taken up an entire episode with this

I guess it only sucks if you hate the Tachikomas. Personally, I think they're awesome.

 

[BassForever]

7Up is gross

I didn't even know they still made it

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Is it FMA time yet?

 

[Jintor]

Maybe, but I feel like you could have gotten this point across in 5 minutes in a C episode and not taken up an entire episode with this

I think quirky shit like an entire episode of tachikomas discussing mortality or of an internet chatroom forum thread are exactly why GITS is GITS

 

[B-Dubs]

Hmmm, I'll pay close attention. I'm guessing this has something to do with AI becoming self aware and blurring the lines of what it means to be human.

Yup, but remember that they also mention Turing and Flowers for Algernon.

 

[BassForever]

I think quirky shit like an entire episode of tachikomas discussing mortality or of an internet chatroom forum thread are exactly why GITS is GITS

See I'd rather have had another internet chatroom debate between Naturalist and pro cybernetics between humans

7Up is gross

I didn't even know they still made it

I don't know anyone who likes 7up.

 

[MetatronM]

Batou: "........................."

 

[Schadenfreude]

Batou does not comprehend.
