I like 2nd GiG, but I definitely prefer the 1st season!!

>>1

Ghost in the Shell was a groundbreaking work at the time, but honestly, I feel it has become outdated now that the times have caught up to it.

The opening is good, it becomes addictive.

>>2

Olga’s selection of words in the Japanese part is quite cute in other songs.

At that time, I only got into Kinokuniya in my mind because Tachikoma was reading it.

I am truly grateful.

I clearly became an otaku after seeing the sac.

I got to know Yoko Kanno by listening to this song.

Is it already about 23 years?

It’s interesting, so I regularly rewatch it, but there are quite a few rough cuts in the animation, right?

Well, considering the times, it’s only natural.

“We are the Ghost in the Shell!”

I love the unique sense of instability in the early stages.

>>8

That’s not a blur effect; the first one created was in episode 2.

It is because it was first made public in the media or something like that.

>>9

It was great that the multi-legged tank was officially adopted in the 2nd.

Even now it feels futuristic, but when a flip phone appears, it brings me back to reality.

I was brainwashed by Director Kamiyama.

>>11

Have the defenses been breached…?

We’ve entered an era where we can do similar things through cyber conferences and VRC.

It’s not that beautiful yet.

Science and technology never became a reality at all, but…

The malice of society is becoming a reality at a faster pace than SAC.

…It’s better that World War III hasn’t happened.

>>20

In other words, Kamiyama is definitely a presence that has been influenced by Oshii’s nationalist ideology at the Oshii dojo.

I have a feeling that Kamiyama himself truly believes that this is the way to save the country.

Every time the voice of the Hero King caster appears, I can’t help but laugh for no reason.

Knowing the title of a novel in the mind’s Kinokuniya is also a form of parallelization, you nameless one.

Origa has died, and Motoko has died too.

The monkey manager is also dangerous.

What was it… I remember it was eerie, like an episode where I couldn’t tell which one came back after a standoff with the culprit disguised as a team member.

>>24

It’s a story about Paz, the face of 2nd GIG.

>>24

Isn’t this an episode of the 2nd puzzle?

The detective uncle was pitiful.

>>24

Is it the one with the abnormal puzzle enthusiast girl?

I think I was probably able to fend off the stalker, but if you have the ability to take down an active duty member in a one-on-one fight and want to join Division 9, you could probably switch places without anyone noticing.

AI has advanced, but it seems it will still take time to acquire the ghost of Tachikoma’s cuteness and individuality.

Cyberization in just five years seems quite impossible, doesn’t it?

It’s old since it was being live-commented on the bulletin board back then.

I’m not sure about the overall reputation, but I like the CG modeling in the opening.

>>33

That CG model looks just like my aunt, and I couldn’t help but be curious.

The scene where I grit my teeth and shoot with the last leaf was so similar that everyone laughed out loud when I showed it at a family gathering.

>>34

Where does your aunt live? By the way, can you connect to the cyber communication?

>>39

I’m already a grandmother.

But she was beautiful enough to quickly find a young lover who was twenty years younger after her husband passed away; aside from her height, she looked just like Motoko.

2nd Gig is too focused on diplomacy, isn’t it…

The near-future detective theme of SAC has a unique flavor that never gets boring.

I like that Batou seems to want to say something to the major, who dislikes muscular people.

I happened to notice this because I accidentally came across it before or after trying to watch the MONSTER anime.

I’m really glad I met you when I was a high school student.

I was able to become a properly crazy otaku.

However, being a glutton is no good for you.

>>38

It may look like that when viewed individually, but it’s a suggestive story for the future and it’s interesting to comment on.

When it comes to the eeriness of the episodes, my favorite is the latent heat source from 2nd GIG.

That indescribable, sticky aftertaste that lingers.

In SAC, it might be Ag2O in the sub-adult insect forest.

I love chat rooms!

>>43

It’s like a summary that organizes the situation, but it’s interesting, right?

>>43

Where is the source?

It feels like the perpetrator’s message shifted from first person to third person halfway through…

>>46

Both of those commentators are correct, and it’s impressive when you look back at it later.

The main story is really well done, and the one-episode standalone sub-stories are also interesting.

In other words, the best.

I think the other members see Togusa’s greenhorn sense of justice as being young and naive.

I like that everyone in Lesson 9 has that sense of justice.

>>48

Batou is completely irritated by Togusa’s memories.

Above all, it was the Major who was the most internally furious…

“Immigration is becoming increasingly serious.”

But I hate it when things don’t get resolved! Who is the mastermind behind Laughing Man?!

>>50

If I had to say, the original is the denunciation email I happened to come across online, right?

>>50

It’s not really an answer, but…

Fukami? is playing the same role as the internal investigation in 2nd GIG.

There might have been an organization that resembled the predecessor of the Internal Affairs at the time of SAC operating in the shadows.

It was interesting to see someone reflecting on it in a personal blog.

It really seems similar when you mention it.

>>50

The mastermind is Secretary General Yaku Island, and the matter has been resolved.

I just want to keep watching standalone stories.

I love the assassin duet!

>>51

I only have a bad impression of things like the jungle routes and offshore plants…

I liked the excitement of late-night anime around here.

Hiroshi Suzuoki’s long lines are irresistible.

Grandpa’s voice feels so good!

Speaking of which, was there a scene where someone eats standing up or dashes off without paying?

I like the way Batou’s light personality is portrayed the most in SAC.

Here’s an old man who feels romantic about the anus, but the section chief is honestly cool, isn’t he?

I went to Shibuya at that time.

>>64

Daidoooooo!!!!

Speak the truth!!!

>>70

Well, I can’t tell the time… it’s towards the heavens.

In terms of the story, it wasn’t Aoi who took over the person next to the Commissioner of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, and I thought it was over since they caught the Secretary General, but Togusa’s former colleagues are still scheming, so hasn’t anything been resolved?

The mastermind behind the Laughing Man incident is the Minister of Health, Labor and Welfare.

The existence known as Laughing Man, which is generally recognized, is Aoi.

The Aoi is a mimic of the person who wrote a report pointing out the flaws of micro-machining treatment.

The creator of the file that Aoi found must have been erased too.

“The ‘American Empire’ was Imperial America.”

Just please spare me from reality starting to catch up.

>>71

America is split into three, and one of them is the American Empire.

In this world, it’s enviable that Japan has successfully grown into a superpower.

>>72

But in that world, there’s a nuclear fallout in Tokyo.

The second season is closer to a military theme, while the first season feels like a proper crime suspense story.

Is the Netflix version also connected in some way?

Isn’t there too much frequent occurrence of world wars?

>>76

You should try reading “Kōgai” as well.

In the end, no matter whose world line we go to, humanity will continue to fight.

However, the world line of Masamune Shirow has quite a bit of hope.

I love the realistic reaction of the cleaning lady who got hacked by Aoi and ended up having files taken out.

Popular Cyber Rapper Legend

“Season one has a strong police theme, making it easy to watch.”

The representative of the Sunflower Association is just so pathetic.

>>81

It’s really awful that I’m just a victim but being labeled as a terrorist.

2nd GIG feels a bit more free-spirited.

Cat’s Eye episode and the attempted “onee-shota” episode.

I really love the portrait scene.

I want you to see 2045!

There are scenes in SAC that make you go “Wow!”

>>84

There are scenes that hint at things every time, after all…

As expected, Murai is effective…

>>88

I know that!

>>88

It looks like you’re making a stamp for unauthorized use.

>>88

I knew that all along!

Wait for the disposal!

Even though there are useful treatments, due to the country’s policies and petty pride…

I love the scenes where the members of Section 9 get along occasionally.

I made a mistake in choosing whom to cry to…

Isn’t the nameless one being too harsh on Kurusu now?

>>95

Where are the elements that can make you kinder?

I still occasionally see people with Laughing Man stickers on their PCs and such.

That design is definitely catchy, isn’t it?

>>96

I apologize for the wall papers on both my PC and smartphone being Laughing Man.

Deploy the team considering the possibility of deception! I’m quite satisfied with how professional the sea monster is doing.

The people from the military who came to catch the public security officers are a bit pitiful too.

Even though it feels like a sermon in the style of Mamoru Oshii, SAC skillfully incorporates a highly understandable and catchy climax, much like the scene from Site. That’s what makes it remarkable.

The highest masterpiece among all of Kamiyama’s works to date.

I love the scene where the major starts her counterattack after escaping a pinch, it only looks like horror.

Because it was drawn by Kōkaku no Pandora.

In a way, it can be said that it is a world where the happiness of the future is understood.

>>105

It’s a drug enforcement organization in that era and that world, you know?

The major in Nakamura Saku’s directed episode is too beautiful…!

By the way, are you making a new work?

I wonder who will be the voice actor for the major.

>>107

There is already Major Sakamoto Maaya, so that’s that.

Can’t you say something kind, Nameless Eri…?

>>109

It’s the beginning of the AI Festival!!!!

I really dislike a world where politicians have private armies.

>>110

I’m not a private soldier! I’m a proper national public servant!

Many stories give you a feeling of having seen them properly in just one episode.

“Did we really do all this in just 30 minutes?!”

The major’s avatar during the chat service is really nice, isn’t it?

Don’t you think the staff has a tendency to want to bring down Batou?

After all, Inner Universe is really good, isn’t it?

It’s bad that Batou has been sulking all this time despite being a cyborg.

>>119

It feels like this is a response that could be said by a Tachikoma towards the end.

I love talking about wine.

A scene where Batou risks his life to help the Major, having seen her face more than his own parents’.

I love the tension of the sniper battle with RajiPut from SSS and Togusa’s ghost hack happening simultaneously.

SSS has reached the extreme of bullying Batou.

>>125

The first half is a homage to Innocence, and the second half is a homage to Oshii’s GIS, so SSS is…

I liked SSS; regardless of the content, it was nicely put together in that length.

Maybe I like the one with the ubuchin script in terms of worldview.

It sounds like a bang, like at a sports festival.

Then I’ll run all at once.

You must never stop halfway.

Also, you mustn’t look back.

Can you do it?

In 2nd GIG, the character Motoko and the Tachikoma sacrifice for the second time, and I’m bothered by how unattractive the Ground Self-Defense Force suits are.

Later, there’s Batou digging a hole with a big cross.

But I like being able to see my brother properly and the individual 11 people.

Do not forgive the CIA that killed Kuze.

It seems that everyone was a bit taken aback by the Tachikoma tempura bowl.

Perhaps because they disappeared completely along with the satellite, the popularity of Tachikoma quickly faded, which I found amusing.

It seems like Togusa up until around the 2nd has more of his human parts, yet he was able to keep up with the guys from Section 9 quite well.

I was surprised at how thin the density of each episode of sac2045 is compared to these days.

The major is really kind, after all.

No matter how much of a super hacker Aoi-kun is,

As expected, the Ministry of Health’s hyper barrier cannot be breached.

I had to be the leader at a vocational training facility and launch a large-scale attack.

Recently, I finally understood.

It seems that you still have the same hobbies as before…

>>137

The old man’s cat-ear high-leg maid harem is tough…

It’s nice how the section chief suddenly seemed to regain his senses at the end after a comment from his former teacher, making the section chief snap back to attention.

It’s unclear which is SAC and which is 2nd GIG, the Russian grandmother or the assassin who kills for money.

>>139

Both are SAC!

First, we need to create the miracle of Asia.

It’s painful that many singers and voice actors have passed away.

Every time I hear the term “retired prosecutor lawyer” in the news, I am reminded of Togusa’s trial episode.

…The way to solve it is too brute force…!

I still love Jungle Cruise…

I love Batou-san who starts running at the end and Togusa-kun who gets straight to the point when he’s angry.

Kubota has been supporting the section chief all along, one way or another.

>>144

The idea that the manager’s connections are amazing is a common theme in everyone’s shell.

Don’t assume that everyone knows the term “noble rot wine”! I thought that for a moment.

But that’s all it ever is.

What the hell is a gap in a cyborg?!!

>>146

Maybe they were stealing tricks like lag and such at a master level.

>>160

It was supposed to be a being from another dimension, so seeing it fall to such a low state is definitely shocking.

If you bully Togusa, Batou will get upset.

It’s delicious in two ways with just one bite.

Thinking normally, it’s way too scary that the Ministry of Health, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the police, and the military are secretly engaged in bloody conflicts.

Where is the angel?

>>151

I’m not going anywhere anymore…!

>>159

I just came here to cloud Bato’s mood…

For now, the scenes with “sppoter,” “run rabbit junk,” and “stamina rose” are generally great scenes.

In today’s world, the internet has truly become a place where we really want offensive and defensive barriers.

I’m also annoyed by the whiteness of their shirts 💢

It’s a nice balance that no matter if you’re of wizard class or whatever, there’s not much one person can do against the military and government’s defenses.

That being said, I will do as I please with individuals.

Batou sometimes jams at important moments or takes his eyes off the target he is supposed to protect.

Indeed, Murai is effective.

Is it the outing episode with Loli Moto and Tachikoma in SAC?

You’re sharp, big sister!

>>162

I like this story.

The sharp-minded childlike feel of Conan, yet ultimately just a little brat, is perfect.

>>169

Isn’t it different, older sister? Is it the sharpness of the chat?

>>169

<<Adjust your legs>>

I’ve only seen SAC 3 and Innocence.

Which series would be good to watch from here?

It seems that quite a few works have increased in the past ten or so years, right?

>>163

For now, let’s take a look at GIS first.

>>163

You should probably watch the first movie before 2045, right?

There are various versions like the Hollywood one, ARISE, and Koukaku, but for now, it’s best to start with those that are connected to what you’ve already seen.

>>179

If you haven’t seen GIS, you should start by watching that; otherwise, you won’t be able to begin.

A story about becoming like Kazuko Takashiro after being kidnapped by terrorists.

The intensity of the standalone episodes is amazing.

That strange trade outpost-like plant is nice, isn’t it… What the heck is that?

Overall, Batou’s approach to the Major has a virgin-like feel to it.

The character designs in recent IG works have been so different with each animation director that it reminded me of older anime.

The chaos of Etorofu.

In the first place, the theme of the Tachikoma in the first season was about breaking away from individuality through parallelization.

The emergence of something resembling personality in AI is similar to that of a puppeteer.

Season two doesn’t have any flags or anything like that.

Even though he is undeniably a professional, Batou-san also has some flaws that are worth criticizing.

It’s nice to throw the Tachikoma’s natural oil and the alcohol received from the silver medalist’s wife into the trash together.

Memory and personality can be copied.

The body can be copied.

So, what defines an individual as an individual?

If it had been made in 4:3, it would have felt even older.

Matrix is crossing the line a bit too much, even considering it’s post-World War.

>>181

Just because you have connections, don’t requisition the latest equipment from the Maritime Self-Defense Force.

SAC: Investigating the scandal where only a privileged class, including some government officials, is receiving the Murai vaccine, which is said to be effective against cyber hardening syndrome.

In 2ndgig, when they utilized the refugees accepted in Nagasaki to artificially create a terrorist who instilled a specific ideology, a real hero ended up being born, causing chaos.

SSS: It’s a waste for bedridden old men and women to die without leaving anything behind, so let’s agree to use their inheritance to abduct children and cultivate elites on a national level!!

Is that okay?

Even if you write that much and confirm it…

The phrase “social justice” has a profound impact on the people.

It’s incredible that the future depicted in anime is getting close, of course.

The original work written even earlier is also too crazy, right?

>>186

Get even more amazed by the density of predictions in the latest futuristic work.

It seems that humanity will be saved in the year 2147.

>>186

The author went a bit too far into the future, and the latter part of 2.0 is hard to understand even when reading it now…

The planning for ARISE probably also had the intention of determining the next voice actors.

The portrayal and setting of Kuze make me feel kind of embarrassed just watching it.

I really wanted to see the recent re-screening of the GIS in the theater.

It didn’t match my schedule.

I feel like the second season is kind of off.

I like sss.

A homage to the taxi driver that everyone scowls at.

>>193

I understand what you want to do, but it’s too obvious and not very interesting…

Well, it’s true that dealing with drugs in that world is frightening without the latest high-tech equipment.

Using that as an excuse to overly arm private soldiers is also fitting and sounds good, doesn’t it?

That’s not good.

Even if cybernetics become practical, I probably won’t do it…

I can tell that carelessly touching something strange will fry my brain.

Kuze is probably a real hero, but I couldn’t quite get into the portrayal of heroes around that.

It’s also a homage to Full Metal Jacket…

A remarkable guy who is completely unfazed by being exposed as an older virgin and still comes to work.

It’s a wonderfully compelling depiction that you need that level of mental strength to survive in that kind of workplace.
