It gets really muggy after episode 3, though.
He looks like a pigeon that’s just been hit by a bean gun…
I’m done for…
Hi!
It’s the worst to be attacked while you’re peeing.
SAC’s jokes are sharp, aren’t they?
>>5In the first episode, the minister is already taken hostage.
What would you do if cyborgs demanded better treatment? It’s not that…
The fact that the prefectural police have been wiped out is a complete disaster.
This story was quite good when the major was in danger of being strangled.
Why was it dangerous for me to be choked even though I’m a cyborg?
>>8Isn’t it simply going to break? It’s the joint part.
>>8There seems to be a type of skull where the spine extends up to the neck, but I don’t know if that’s the case for female gorillas…
The balance of the SAC was the best…
There are some interesting stories, but the second one has some creepy aspects.
>>92nd GIG was rich in vertical elements and interesting, but SAC has a good variety of side stories unrelated to the Laughing Man.
>>9Isn’t the creepy part of 2nd GIG almost me being gluttonous…?
>>61The thick air in the final stage selects its people.
>>65In the scene where Major and Kuze eat an apple together, Batou drives a cross-shaped steel beam into the ground shouting “Motoko!”
It’s amazing that it has endured ghost dubbing three times.
How many bodies of Innocence’s Hadari were there?
>>11That’s probably not at a level where it has both memories and a ghost, so I think it’s a different story.
I could only say “Help me.”
>>11They are intentionally lowering the dubbing accuracy by using drugs.
>>13The drug kingpin on this side is seriously coping by basically being an exact copy of himself.
It’s a genuine copy to the extent that it can even deceive government analysts’ behavior assessments.
Penis… Penis…
I only have two return tickets…
Mr. Batou makes a lot of mistakes for a veteran, doesn’t he?
Cute
>>16He’s a former soldier and a skilled ranger, but he’s not a professional when it comes to investigations.
>>18That’s why Togusa, who is from the police, was scouted.
Even with this appearance, Batou is good at electronic warfare too.
Every scene where Batou is shouting loudly is hilarious in this anime.
Togusa is amazing, isn’t he? To get shot at and instantly shoot someone’s arm.
>>23Togusa! You are…
It’s often said that compared to the original, the vibe is heavier…
It’s got a bit of a Western drama vibe, and the parts that are silly are quite silly in style.
>>25By the way, is that Paz-chan an original?
Well? Isn’t it basically the same either way?
Togusa is too resilient to stress from tedious investigations.
I can provide protection, but when Togusa-kun is at the front line, I get anxious.
>>26It’s amazing to notice the interceptor while continuously looking at a family photo that seems to be neither poison nor medicine…
>>26The Sunflower Club was really something else.
Bato was irritated enough to watch the situation until Togusa was shot.
>>38But the one who was the most furious was actually the major.
>>38Everyone is quietly losing their cool and going completely wild, isn’t it?
The section chief also gives the go-ahead for Batou in that state.
Pazu and Saito also bring such dangerous things.
I like the scene where Togusa from SSS thinks he couldn’t make it in time to help and crouches down.
>>27Battou-san complains to the major who dragged it out until the last minute.
Ishikawa responds that he’s already doing it when called by the major, and I want to be like that.
Mr. Ishikawa’s clueless sarcasm is a refreshing tonic.
>>29Motoko~ I mean!
Episode 7: The major’s face is unstable.
I’ll do this too… (sexy pose)
This photo does not have a camera.
I love Laughing Man, but I also wanted to see more standalone SF detective stories.
>>36I really liked the episodes related to the interceptor because they felt very much like a crime drama.
>>36Since it’s a method of detective stories, I could keep writing forever if I wanted to, but Shiromasa said that it’s enough already in the original work.
I think everyone thought they wanted to keep watching it forever.
While I have the energy to do it, I want to create as many stories as possible.
The members of Lesson 9 make some pretty weird jokes, don’t they?
I don’t know… someone like that…
It’s a given that Togusa cracks a joke and everyone reacts with “oh, oh!”
After all, the proof of the rampage is highly accomplished.
I keep watching it over and over.
>>41I love the scene where it seems like Kago is pointing the barrel at her parent, or reaching for the model that her mother is holding.
>>41We are Ghost in the Shell! Sounds good, right?
I think the section about the manager’s love romance is quite comedic, but with the manager’s shy demeanor and the subtitle “Angel’s Share,” it has turned into a stylish episode.
>>42Although the police and mafia are colluding, it’s funny that they conspire with robbers.
You’re dangerous because you’re affected by Togusa’s memories, so it’s no good.
↑You’re the one who’s the angriest!
I wanted to see the episode with Boma too.
I’m sorry for the puzzle episode, but I can’t help it; every time I watch it, I hear a beautiful woman’s voice coming from a grumpy old man, and it’s no good.
>>49In the end, I wonder which one will survive.
That lawyer is very capable.
I just realized that “The Crazy Man” was a play on “12 Angry Men.”
>>52If you didn’t know before, that’s one thing, but it’s a bit too late now!
The main theme of this anime is definitely human emotion.
A world where the military has turned into the private soldiers of corrupt politicians and mercilessly kills ordinary people is just too awful…
>>56My impression of the Drug Enforcement Agency within me is this.
Eventually, the country will disappear, so it’s safe!
Well, there’s no way you can stay calm after seeing that.
It’s a team that appears to have a dry spirit of steel but actually has high righteous indignation power.
The Umibōzu is too strong of a character.
I like the cache eye version, but what is that?
It’s Theater Group 9.
The major directed by Toyosaku Nakamura is too cute…
SAC is quite following the trend of Western dramas from the 2000s, isn’t it?
The main focus is the Laughing Man incident and
There were often structures of standalone stories interspersed in between.
The story of Ghost Dubbing in episode 7 is also about the fate of continuing to copy (imitate), so it’s interesting how it’s not entirely unrelated to the Laughing Man story.
What is a gap in a cyborg body?
The major’s intense high-leg feels incredibly out of place until the end.
>>73The story of being warned by Shiromasa only about my clothes.
Whether it was true or just a rumor.
The staff seems to believe that the more they can cloud Batou’s mind, the better it is…
I was a little creeped out when Togusa-kun confidently drew a smiley face.
The jungle route is nice, isn’t it?
The Laughing Man has now become a reality with conspiracy theories…
The attack on the U.S. Capitol was amazing.
>>77I think it’s easier to understand both Season 1 and Season 2 now than when they were originally aired.
It can be said that there is a certain level of foresight, and in regard to the second season, the fact that it is easier to understand now than it was at the time can ironically be seen as a situation that today’s society should be concerned about.
Is there no possibility of increasing the number of revolutionaries from the current stock?
Are you dubbing further from the copy?
The angel is… already…
I somehow remember the name Kluchkova.
I feel like when Togusa-kun was working as a staff member in the forest of nymphs, it had quite a horror vibe, including the punchline.
This episode has a unique style of action animation.
The revenge of the Matri remnants is nice, isn’t it?
The section chief is too loose.
>>84When the manager gets taken down, the 9th department feels incredibly pinched.
There’s no special combat power in the manager, though.
In the episode where Batou investigates the boxer he admired, the Tachikoma being sent to the lab at the beginning adds to the level of gloominess.
Is it a gaze directed at me?
Die with the money you love!
>>90I can’t shake the feeling that the cyborg assassin China girl feels somewhat out of place within the world view.
>>120I like that kid because they seem easygoing.
>>120But it’s just too cool to shoot it out with the whole bundle of coins…
A casual name like Kanemoto Yokose.
>>91Send more money…
Stand Alone Complex
Yes Stand Alone Complex
I just watched all of Ghost in the Shell season 2 on Netflix for the first time, and this thread is so timely for me.
Season 1 was really interesting, but Season 2 was just okay.
Mr. Saito’s stories were interesting, but the story about the refugee uprising is always about Section 9 losing politically, which is not fun at all!!
By the way, what should I watch next?
>>94SSS
>>94SSS
>>94Season 2’s further sequel SSS.
Paz survives → Good.
Fake ones survive → This puzzle is also dying, but it’s fine because it’s stronger than Paz.
If one does not bend, one cannot navigate the world.
It’s nice when time seems to stop for both of us in the thread.
I think the second one picks up on the original elements in a really half-hearted way, as if it’s not really making the most of the story.
There’s a sequel! I’m going to watch it.
Seriously, Nameless immediately parallelizes.
>>104It’s Nokko Chikoma…
>>104By the way, what kind of service does Anonymous provide?
>>108The thumbnail leak from before… that was my doing.
I think the Laughing Man logo is amazing because it’s still a catchy design even now.
Even back then, there were people who had stickers on their PCs without even knowing about Ghost in the Shell.
Since it’s the very last moment to escape from Gōda’s palm…
It’s hard to choose the best episode, but the worst one is definitely Taxi Driver.
Anyone! Do you have a water clock!?
I think the SSS opening is the coolest.
I think the restrictions of “a powerful enemy for Section 9” and “the setting is a war” imposed by Oshii for the 2nd film were not good.
Because I tried hard to protect it, it became sticky and heavy.
The episode of the delusional guy in season 2 is so boring that it makes you feel uncomfortable, and I think that’s great…
However, the opening of the second season is certainly impactful…
>>115I knew that all along!
Based on Aoi’s last statement, do you think they were showing symptoms of cybernetic hardening syndrome?
They said it has started, but it’s not guaranteed, right?
>>116Personally, I interpreted it as maybe being said as a metaphor for “being rigid-minded.”
>>121I feel like Aoi disappeared when the section chiefs left the library after that.
Did they erase their presence and even hack into Moto’s cybernetics to erase memories related to themselves?
I’m not good at baseball.
Even if I become a noble rot old man, please urgently build a care network.
Purge
Ha, it’s startinggggggggggーーー!!!
The second one is something to enjoy for its plot and development, but in terms of visuals, it can be rather plain or lacking in flair…
Motoko~ (laugh)
When it comes to whether Bocchi-chan is a formidable opponent, it feels like…
I liked the story about Togusa going to Kanto.
I’ve only seen the GIS and SAC series, but is ARISE heart-fluttering?
>>128You don’t have to watch it unless you’re following all the anime.
Best round is wine.
ARISE is in a different vector, or rather…
I like “Change the World” because it’s ironic.
Bringing that story into the season’s strong start is just too aggressive.
But I actually like 2nd GIG normally too.
I like more of the standalone episodes in this season than in the first season.
Well, it seems that whether you like or dislike it might depend on whether you enjoy Gouda’s character.
Bato is such a fool… I like that gentle tone you have.
It seems silly to turn a bar of gold into a bullet, but how hard is it really? €$ currency
It’s quite something that the cool Saito-san is turning into a jerk…
The Laughing Man incident is because politicians are too clever, too quick, and too sinister.
>>138It feels like this is what politicians are really like.
>>143What…?!
>>143You’re too capable…
>>138In the end, even the president of Serano, who decided to step forward and talk about the truth, was killed.
>>147I guess I need to quickly talk about everything on YouTube.
>>138When it comes to politicians in Japan, a superpower, I guess you have to go that far to survive.
I love the indescribable feeling of episode 2.
>>140Looking back on it, I realize that Gōda was a victim in a way…
The kidnapped daughter is the boss of a terrorist organization!?
>>141After watching it, I feel really down… here it comes again…
>>141Please erase it…
Look at Eden of the East.
Hey! Over there… isn’t that a gun barrel…? It seems like they’re really pushing forward with the plan.
The politician and bureaucrats of the Laughing Man are a bit too quick in their actions, and it’s frightening.
Should I keep quiet about this sloppily secured dubbing equipment…?
If a proper organization puts in their full effort, won’t it be immediately exposed?
Upon reviewing it again, I can’t help but laugh a little at how Gohta has already been behaving like a bundle of self-assertion from the moment he greeted the section chief during his first appearance.
I prefer stories that are self-contained and conclude in one episode, so I hope you understand.
>>155It’s better to have it wrapped up in one episode so that we can properly organize our offensive.
Unfortunately, the discussion about the vertical axis has to take a backseat, making Section 9 look unremarkable.
The politicians in that world are from the post-war era, right?
There are military personnel too, so the punches come out quickly.
The story of punishing the medical student resembled Dr. K.
The wine round is indeed good…
>>159Some relationships, like wine, also require time to mature…
The 2nd one has heavy themes like the refugee issue!
The illegal approval of medical devices isn’t something to take lightly, you know…
The situation of the battle is worsening…
>>161In the future, I want to become a Grandpa of worsening war situations.
When I was playing Lost Judgment a long time ago, I thought, “Hey, this is the Laughing Man incident I’ve seen!”
Looking back, it feels like Season 1 has a lot of stories that don’t advance the main plot.
>>166Sometimes, standalone episodes suddenly start without any connection to the main storyline.
The second season somewhat incorporates the main storyline, but…
I love the story of the grandparent who robbed a bank that deceived them for their grandchild’s sake.
Yoko Kanno’s music is good again…
I like it almost as much as Turn A Gundam, which was scored by Yoko Kanno.
Why does a surplus military light tank end up at a nursing home?
>>169Um…? I thought it would be fine because it’s cute…
The visual elements of “Laughing” are incredibly great as the first episode of a long series.
Well then, I’ll become an old man who asks at the police box about the hotel where the police chief will be assassinated.
>>171That’s Akio Otsuka’s voice, you know.
I like the episode where Tachikoma goes for a walk with a lost girl.
I dislike the story where Tachikoma ends up going to the lab because of that.
Nameless Alone Complex
A story about eloping with a robot.
There are no misses in the Tachikoma episode.
What was it called, the one with a movie theater in the cyberspace?
>>179It’s really nice to be tied down to just movies.
No, I’m sane.
No, it went crazy like that.
I don’t want to love you anymore.
I love the story about the cash eye or the Dutch wife; it’s the most ridiculous yet easy to understand.
Unlimited purchase of all Serano stocks.
What!? What’s happening with the assassination of the Police Chief? It feels good, doesn’t it?
ARISE has created a complicated setting that seems impressive.
It’s self-righteous science fiction, so you don’t need to watch it.
Rather than that, it’s better to watch SSS or read the original work.
I haven’t read the original work properly, so I don’t really understand what kind of country the US Empire is.
I still do not understand the concept of “branches.”
Tell me, Anonymous.
>>187I think it’s like having a bug planted.
>>187An image of attaching branch lines to the main line to wiretap.
>>187I had an image of a listening device in electronic warfare.
That’s cheating!
I wonder why it’s a branch.
I interpret the branch as representing something else attaching to the cybernetic system, similar to grafting.
Looking back, online debate communities seem incredibly moderate and rational.
After sss, it may choose people, but it’s interesting.
Ah, next is Innocence…
If you like the combination of Togusa and Batou, you should definitely watch SSS and Innocence.
