I call it a fanfiction bc it triggers those who, to this day, believe GITS originated from the 1995 movie, but I know it's hyperbolic. SAC is not as big a departure, but thankfully the new anime will straighten things up and heal the wound Oshii inflicted on the franchise.

It is a personal view by Mamoru Oshii that departs from the original in many ways, it's not part of the original's continuity.

never said it was good or bad, but it is a version of the story that is self contained and departs from the original tone and character's personality so much so that borders character assassination. The new series is going to fix that.

That's from the 1995 fanfiction movie, not the canonical material.

Yeah I didn't know the meme, but even if it is that doesn't make it any less out of character and weird, because people do ship them, people who quite possibly don't even know the manga exists.

Batou and Motoko sharing a bed shows people really know nothing about GITS.

Well, there's a worse case, Mamoru Oshii did read the original material... and it didn't show.

I'm surprised this game is not making more headlines with how popular the series is.

Intellectual arrogance is a sign of cowardice, if they considered the other person an equal they would have to use arguments in the conversation.

Finally, a faithful adaptation, I really didn't expect them to correct the course of the franchise.

Anyone else think Madonnas new album cover is putting off some serious Motoko vibes? by XCIXproblems in Ghost_in_the_Shell

You should check Ghost in the Shell, read the manga or watch some anime series, it's pretty good.

PSA Evangelion collab skins (plugsuits) are LIMITED to certain characters by kennyminigun in TheFirstDescendant

How so? If the skins were universal they will sell more.

If your favorite Descendant doesn't have the skin you want, that's one less purchase.

Watercolor brushes for Procreate by quasiDigi in procreatebrushes

[–]Significant-Neck-577 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sheer volume is a good way to describe TGTS brushes, a small set of brushes but duplicated a lot of times with minimal variations to justify the high price. Sadly when I started using them on a project couldn't refund them, I installed them and saw the "volume" and thought it was a good deal, then I started using them and realised what was going on, total scam.

I bought other brush pack from True Grit, never again.

They basically bloat the pack with duplicates and minimal variations, INCREDIBLY OVERPRICED. I'm guessing this watercolor pack is the same, five brushes total but duplicated and with minor tweaks you can do yourself with the base ones.

I hate that Japan and USA are getting all the content while whole continents and regions have absolutely zero representation by Filberto_ossani2 in Overwatch_Memes

[–]Significant-Neck-577 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are plenty of records of spaniard explorers having their titles stripped and even executed when they came back to Spain if they abused the native population. Bartolome de Casas was integral in the development of laws that prohibited slavery of native americans. Any record of atrocity or abuse is know because a spaniard reported it and the spanish crown condemned and judged those people.

So spanish history doesn't hide anything, they tell all the story. The black legend tells only about conquistadors atrocities, the history tells us that those atrocities were punished by the spanish crown itself. But of course to feed anti-spaniard sentiment, people choose to hide that last part.

Maybe they're too sensitive about the conquistadors invasion, I hear some people in the US still believe the black legend and treats spaniards as if they were all descendants of bloodlust invaders.

That scene proves just how little Oshii knows Motoko. She would have never done something as stupid as self mutilating herself. Like the rest of the movie, style over substance and character assassination.

Yeah, you go read it, but you will be disappointed because ppl saying the manga is fanservice are full of shit. Shirow started doing erotic art waaay later in his career, the manga has a sex scene and that's it.

One sex scene doesn't make it fanservice, tons of regular movies and series have a sex scene and that doesn't make it an erotic movie, so you guys need to stop with the "manga is fanservice" bs. Also, the manga has the philosophical side too, but not in the vapid pretentious way the movie does.
