Wait, are they not shortening this? Huh, guess the main show is short enough where they can keep the full OP.
Now to see how the ED gets cut.
I don't think the OP of Stand Alone Complex never got shorten during it's adult swim run. However I do believe the END credit were sped up.

iirc this episode has some really questionable fanservice
As opposed to the rest of the series which is so conservative in contrast.
iirc this episode has some really questionable fanservice
it's not subtle, heh
Origa =[
And yes I do agree, 2nd GIG OP is better than this one.
When I first watched 2nd Gig, the OP & ED did nothing for me but eventually I grew to love them.
I want to sayOh is this the one where that person gets trapped in the body of a big Tachikoma and tries to reunite with I think their kid or something?
Yes, but it was a kid trying to reunite with his parents
oh holy shit I didn't expect the spider tank to have a voice like that
They all have different but similar voices too.

You know, a bunch of people here are watching for the first time. Maybe blurting out the entire plot of the episode right off the top isn't the best idea?
Also, it's his parents.
yeah the Major's clothes are a tad...excessive
they bothered to give them different voices? nice.They all have different but similar voices too.
Neither were cut last week, anyway.Wait, are they not shortening this? Huh, guess the main show is short enough where they can keep the full OP.

Yeah, it's one thing that stuck with me as someone that watched it as a kid occasionally and would get bored and not pay attention. The opening as well.

In the future, pants are inefficient.
the major looks a bit weird poking her head out of that tiny tank
edit: "wow"
nope, first time.Never seen Gits? I guess i'll avoid spoilers.

So were the tachikomas like this in the movie, or were they given these voices in the anime?
It kind of seemed out of place they had those voices, like they were inserting the "cute mascot character for merchandise" trope.
The Tachikomas don't appear in the movies.
Last week was an exception since it was the first episode, which always gets full op & ed.Neither were cut last week, anyway.
worked for the strike witches.In the future, pants are inefficient.

WAOW
The original movie didn't have them. The PS1 game had Fuchikomas, which were red rather than blue, but otherwise sounded like this.So were the tachikomas like this in the movie, or were they given these voices in the anime?

Yeah. Always reminded me of Oscar the Grouch popping out of his can.
someone mentioned that they were invented for the anime, based on the author's pet spidersSo were the tachikomas like this in the movie, or were they given these voices in the anime?

that's probably why they have cute voices

GITS has always gotten its full OP, in the 13 years or so it's been on Adult Swim. The bigger question will be if the ED gets shortened/cut entirely like it used to.
In the future, pants are inefficient.
The Major doesn't believe in pants. So it is said, so it is done.

The Fuchikomas existed in the manga. They couldn't use them in the anime for copyright reasons, so they made slight changes to create the Tachikomas.
weird.The Fuchikomas existed in the manga. They couldn't use them in the anime for copyright reasons, so the was weirdy made slight changes to create the Tachikomas.
copyright is so strange
I do enjoy Batou's va's performance.
Richard Epcar always delivers.

They aren't the same thing.
