Yoko Kanno OST~

I have vol. 1 and 2 of the OST for SAC myself. Don't have vol. 3 or the one for Solid State Society, though.

 

[B-Dubs]

Araki is always in charge.

 

[Crocodile]

This take place only 13 in the future from now? LOL, people last century REALLY underestimated how far along we would be at any point in the future

 

[Man God]

She looks much better in Uniform.

 

[Hellwarden]

Being held hostage by geishas, even if they are robots, must be pretty embarrassing.

 

[Grexeno]

Man, the police were like "we aren't giving up control" and then Aramaki walks in and they're like "please proceed."

 

[Zonic]

Still not the biggest fan of Major's outfit in SAC. Especially the fanservice later on.

If it makes any difference, I'm sure it's an upgrade considering the fanservice the manga had.

It's Masamune Shirou, after all.

 

[B-Dubs]

You say that now...

Crispy Free!!!

This assumes an entire alternate history that includes World Wars in the '90s and the splintering of the United States into 3 different countries. Don't worry about it.

Elon Musk is moving into cyber brains after batteries and rockets

 

[ckohler]

I wonder how Section 9 keeps only some thoughts be intransmitted when "thinking" to each other.

 

[ramoisdead]

This Yoko Kanno soundtrack.

Bless her heart.

"best....hostage....situation...ever........."

 

[MetatronM]

I didn't realize we got Run Rabbit Junk already in episode 1. Always so hype.

 

[cntr]

2030 doesn't seem far enough ahead. In 13 years our world will look like that?

"2020 to 2050" is the ideal cyberpunk timescale. It wouldn't be true cyberpunk if the setting was too much later!

I assume they have ear-internal communications? Love it. Love the soundtrack, too.

 

[Kaizer]

Man this OST, the GitS soundtracks were my nightly fall asleep music during high school.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

BOOM HEADSHOT

 

[Schadenfreude]

This assumes an entire alternate history that includes World Wars in the '90s and the splintering of the United States into 3 different countries. Don't worry about it.

Looking at the way Trump is handling things, they might have just been 20 years off. Looking forward to cyber bodies in the 50s.

 

[ramoisdead]

You get a headshot!

And you get a headshot!

And you get a headshot!

 

[MetatronM]

Looking at the way Trump is handling things, they might have just been 20 years off. Looking forward to cyber bodies in the 50s.

Well one of the countries IS the Russo-American Alliance...

 

[Zonic]

I don't remember Batou being this funny.

But I'm liking him more now.

 

[Hellwarden]

Gotta go fast.

 

[cntr]

Those robots were dope.

Really like how well-handled the dialogue has been despite being so exposition and reference heavy.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Well one of the countries IS the Russo-American Alliance...

Holy shit.

 

[Seda]

good job batou

 

[cntr]

"I think he broke."

 

[B-Dubs]

The Major could use some more pants. Just saying.

 

[Korigama]

Still not the biggest fan of Major's outfit in SAC. Especially the fanservice later on.

2nd Gig look was much better for her. The season 1 outfit seems much more out of place in respect to everything else around her.

 

[Zonic]

"did you see the major's asscheeks, audience?

Did you see it again?"

I joke, but knowing what Masamune Shirow usually draws (including the original manga version of GitS), this is RESERVED in comparison.

 

[Man God]

GitS:SAC isn't about politics.

 

[cntr]

Wow, after looking at how badly Unicorn handled talking about Laplace's Box, the exposition on the Ichinose Report is so much smoother.

Deliberately wiping your own memory, I'm a broken record at this point, but that's so cyperpunk.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

It's a good thing the Major doesn't have to worry about feeling cold.

 

[Man God]

Six bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves.

 

[Hellwarden]

Actually can we stick with the 2030 stuff Tom?

Please?

 

[cntr]

I can see why this series gets so much praise, this is great.

 

[RampagingSoul]

Six bullets, more than enough to kill anything that moves.

Nah, should be nine.

 

[Htown]

yeah I'm gonna have to bail

there's nothing wrong with the show, I'm just tired as hell

g'night Toonami GAF

 

[B-Dubs]

I can see why this series gets so much praise, this is great.

It can get a little hard to follow in a group watch setting at this time of night, but it's definitely a good show.

 

[Zonic]

g'night Toonami GAF

As some of us have said, this is not the show that works as a 3 a.m. viewing. Totally understandable if people log out despite the show's quality.

 

[ckohler]

Aside from not giving a shit, do they ever explain why the Major wears such revealing outfits on her prosthetic body? It is it just the mangaka's taste alone?

 

[Moaradin]

Ghost in the Shell is probably the worst show possible to air at 3:00am.

It's a good show, but I probably won't rewatch much of it.

 

[Zonic]

Aside from not giving a shit, do they ever explain why the Major wears such revealing outfits on her prosthetic body? It is it just the mangaka's taste alone?

I wouldn't be surprised if it was the mangaka's taste.

The man draws SMMMUUUUTTTTTTT. There's one scene later on I'll comment on in how toned down it was from the manga in terms of sexual content.

 

[MetatronM]

Aside from not giving a shit, do they ever explain why the Major wears such revealing outfits on her prosthetic body? It is it just the mangaka's taste alone?

The Major is pretty sexually liberated. Just wait till you meet her girlfriends...

Also, since it's a prosthetic body, she doesn't much give a shit.

 

[cntr]

It can get a little hard to follow in a group watch setting at this time of night, but it's definitely a good show.

Helps that I'm so down with cyberpunk settings. And it's the middle of the afternoon here, so no issues for me personally, haha.

Holy shit body swapping tech! Amazing!

 

[Schadenfreude]

I always get into this show so much even though I've seen it a million times.

 

[Seda]

It can get a little hard to follow in a group watch setting at this time of night, but it's definitely a good show.

Yeah, it can get a bit talky at times.



Swapping body fetish, a possibility in this world

 

[B-Dubs]

That's right, he likes to swap bodies with geishas when drunk.

 

[Zonic]

I think now that I have shows like Gundam to compare exposition/plot-dumping to, this is nowhere near as bad as my teenager self made it out to be.
