Would you rather live in the futuristic world of Ghost in the

Ghost in the Shell has The Major, so that.

Ghost in the shell.

Extremely easy pick.

Psycho pass is literally rats in a cage.

>memepunk
Not even once.

>>137624073

Never saw Psycho Pass. Is it good? Also, we're all in agreement that Kuze > Laughing Man, right?

>world where you can get killed for being slightly agitated

Why the fuck would you ever choose Psycho Pass? The guns are the most futuristic part of it anyways. GITS all the way.

SAC is just the logical course of our world. PP is a nightmarish dystopia.

Good choice.
But....but anon....how would you want Major dressed?
As she is in S1 or in 2nd GiG?

The world where you can transfer your consciousness to a female cyborg's body

Did you forget you can get realistic robo sex with the major for some money? Or how about linking up with a women and having sex through the mind?

GITS fairly easy choice.

>Did you forget you can get realistic robo sex with the major for some money?
Since when?
I never saw this once in the show, as much as it was implied in S1 through her character model at no point was she ever portrayed as a slut or sex object. Not that i'd say no

>>137624396
And having no mental deviance whatsoever is another. What's that? you masturbate to chinese cartoon drawings? +100 to your PP, that's one cloudy hue you got there.

PP doesn't measure how much of a criminal you are, it measures how far you deviate from an artificial neurotypical standard. Most of the people spending any amount of time on this website would fail a scan and get pizza'd for committing the heinous crime of having an opinion.

Not to mention that with the heavy censorship and state-controlled command economy you'd have no access to any sort of fetish porn. Sites like sadpanda would be blocked. Any forum where you can express your opinion freely, or read the free opinions of others would be blocked and even searching for one would put you on the watch list.

This is a one-size-fits-all world where you only have human rights if you move to the beat of that one drum. Shitsux.

I'll go full cyborg.
With no access to the internet or any kind of network though.

Akane would never hurt me, so her.

I haven't managed to watch either of these series. I'm pretty sure I just hate cyberpunk. Why would you want to watch a world so fucked up in such completely inevitable ways, when you could be watching literally anything else. There's nothing that could be more depressing.

Definitely Ghost in the Shell.
Mostly because the setting and technology are way more interesting but also because I'd be dead or imprisoned in Psycho Pass and so would you.

Thought crime is a bitch.

If I lived in the Psycho Pass world I'd be completely fucked. Mental illness does not go over well there.

>>137625129
Well it's not really all that fucked. Gibsonesque cyberpunk tends to be a gritty but ultimately pretty optimistic vision of the future. It focuses a lot on how people use technology and the culture that forms around that technology to navigate bad shit and face problems and tends to be a vision of the future that's hyperlibertarian capitalism that neither really condones or condemns it. It just shows a dangerous future where people have more freedom than they know what to do with and the technology to do anything. The rampant crime and grungy punk culture that tends to be focal for cyberpunk is supposed to be a good thing, because the ways in which regular people resist authority through technology. It's all about power and control and resistance to it -whether it be on the personal level of human traffickers using technology to suppress the agency of their sex slaves or whole cultures using the japanese criminal underground to trade 516 megabyte sticks of RAM for bootleg electronic contraband.

Probably the most dismaying thing about cyberpunk is that it's not inevitable. Most of the technology we are slowly discovery and integrating roughly analogous to those in a cyberpunk world will never be tools of freedom or any resistance to corporate, cultural or judicial control and few if any will ever trickle down to the layman's hand as anything other than watered down apple-ified schlock. Cyberpunk glorifies the hacker and tech nerd culture of the 70's and 80's, the era when nobody knew enough about this weird and magical thing called the personal computer to ever think to regulate the information that passes through it. And instead of that wild-west of coding and technology ever reaching the hands of the mainstream public, it was summarily ignored until the smartphone handed people an easy-to-use and stripped down version, safely controlled and regulated and simplified for the discriminating consumer.

>>137625129
PP isn't cyberpunk. It's closer to a really typical dystopia than a cyberpunk. Most cyberpunk stuff really isn't dystopic, though it technically can be. PP doesn't really have much of the elements or aesthetic of cyberpunk -it's more or less just a utilitarian technocommunist hell. I think most of the world building in it was more or less just taking the piss at China

Ergo Proxy would be my choice. Or Blame for ultimate wandering around.

>>137625590
>and few if any will ever trickle down to the layman's hand as anything other than watered down apple-ified schlock.
Just because all you buy are apple products doesn't mean there aren't alternatives available to you.

Did you think technology was magically going to make the masses more intelligent?
The steam engine didn't make every man an engineer, why would you think that computers will make every man a programmer?

>>137624073
It depends on where I live. I think California is okay in GITS, so I'll choose that verse.

The movie is fine.

In GitS's world there is still good governance and some sense of personal freedom/autonomy.

>>137627045
The movie had issues with pacing and plot. The whole thing was Frodo as fuck and wasted a lot of time

>living in a world where thoughtcrime is unironically a thing
ghost in the shell please
also a GITS-like future is the one we're heading for right now, minus world wars 3 & 4

Psycho Pass would be hell and there's no guarenteed I'll be safe. Plus, it's a world so callous, I woman got beaten to death in public.

I quite liked the ARISE movie. Corporations superseding nation-states, the evolution of technology, and so on. All very cyberpunk.

>>137627378
I thought the second one was the best of the bunch. It could've passed for an episode of SAC

>>137624073
GitS. Go full cyborg if i could afford it. If not - basic brain cybenisation. Spend my time in VR 2.0 chating with you fags ether on some future form of 4chan or some private server without any restrictions: illigal content, pirated software, etc. The worst that can happen to you - get your brain fried/hacked (you are relativly safe from this if you dont do anything major/dive into the deepweb)

In PP you are fucked - have a single deviant thought - pizza'd, get attacked by some random hobo - get pizza'd for panicing. Try to share some fetish porn on web - get swatted and thrown into assylym.

>>137627112
>minus world wars 3 & 4

We still have 14 years to go.

>>137627378
I haven't seen arise, but that sounds off to me.
What separated Japanese cyberpunk from western cyberpunk was the unique tie that Japan's government has with the private sector in the form of the iron triangle.
It gave the whole series an air of believability and complexity that I don't think you see in other scifi (or much in fiction at all).
If you just make the corporations more powerful than the government you're just aping western cyberpunk which is more representative of western society. I think that you'd lose a lot of the depth if you did that.

>>137627525
Who is even going to fight us in WW3 anymore? China's economy is going under and Russia is a joke. All of the cool old enemies of the 20th century got old and lame.

I'm on psycho-pass ep. 5 right now, and this world is pretty awful. I'll take the former.

>>137624073
Is this serious? Obviously GitS

Psycho Pass is a dystopian clusterfuck where everyone is the perfect normie wage slave, reeeee.

>>137627560
It's no fun being the hegemon.

>>137627560
Maybe its not who's going to fight us, but who WE are going to liberate (aka another pocket middle east war witch can erupt into geopolitical mess)

I dont think any form nuclear warheads can be involved.

>>137627546
It's not that corporations are more powerful than the government in ARISE, but the Major talks about it in future tense.
>Even assuming that conglomerates will eliminate all nations and races one day, the state's role isn't over yet
I've never seen anyone argue that the government's ties to the private sector were characteristic of Japanese cyberpunk, and I don't remember it being particularly prominent in SAC either, aside from all the corruption.

You should just watch ARISE, it's not as bad as people like to say it is.

>>137627560
>Who is even going to fight us in WW3 anymore?

TPP is forming blocs already.
Do the math.
The same shit was said about germans after WW1, it didn't stop them to suddenly rise as a world power within a decade.

Any Shirow Masamune world is the world for me. That nigger is smart.

Might aswell say Kuze was best "girl" then. She's also too robotic in the movie.
