GitS: Arise

Alternative Architecture is the OVA edited into a TV series with some new footage plus two original episodes. The other things are just bonus shorts. So just go with AA if you want.

Oh, and there's also a movie that's set after Arise.

>>144752708

Yeah, after Arise I plan to watch the 2015 movie and also the remake of the first movie to finish off the series.

>>144752654

So it's just a redo of the Border movies in eight episodes and then has two extra ones?

I really hope you don't watch Arise, it is total crap. Just watch Mamoru movie over and over, it is a way better option.

>>144753000

I gotta watch the whole series Anon, I love it too much to stop.

I think Arise is alright, not as great as SAC could be but still pretty entertaining.

Arise AND the new movie, so "originally" titled "The New Movie" are complete shit. Watch the first Ghost in the Shell, maybe GITS Innocense, and certain episodes of SAC are okay..but that's about it. The rest of the franchise is complete and utter shit.

I watched both the original movies and both seasons plus the movie of Stand Alone Complex and I really liked them all (Innocence was just alright but the others were amazing). I doubt I'll like Arise as much and Mokoto looks disgusting in it but I want to watch the whole series anyways.

How bad is Arise even? Oshii not being involved is the only reason why I'm interested in it

>>144753978

also what makes it so bad? is it just original movie elitists that can't handle change or something?

I like the new mokki and the new voice

Obviously budgets have fallen since 2006, so it isnt surprising that the movies arent super complex or well animated, but considering the general lack of anime in this genre, GITS doesnt need to compete

>>144752145
Kek don't watch arise.

>>144754091
>can't handle change
doesn't even make sense to have this opinion in regards to GITS where there are a bunch of different canons that are different to each other to begin with

>>144754228
kek, stay a cyber virgin fgt

Reminder that GitS is the worst Shirow manga.

>>144754429

Is there a better one, Anon?

>>144754192

I watch the dubs for GitS because I think the dub is pretty well done for SAC (the original has a pretty eh Major though), how's the Arise dub?

>>144754429
have you seen any of his porn??

its littered with N*****S and MUH BBC
Honestly this guy is the biggest KEK i have ever seen

thanks for GITS, now stop animating

As someone who watched Arise when he was totally blitzed on drugs, I will tell you, WATCH IT. The Majors character design at the beginning was a huge problem for me but it is nowhere near the amount of shit it gets from /a/. Arise will never be the original GITS and that's what so many faggots here are so tight in their pantsu about. Arise has amazing themes that question what its like to be human. Arise is actually a good short series(I don't say anything is good often); I liked the characters, the animation, and the plot in general. The general populace of plebs on /a/ will tell you its not worth watching. They, are, wrong. Come at me.

>>144754567
idk, the dub is getting better but I Still watch that sub

dont know about you, but the major looking like a 16yo in tight red leather is hot af
>oh DAMM u just got rekt by a 16yo girl

>>144754684
I think the new major is gr8
what drogs m8

Me, I watched transformers on valium and weed and it was so intense

>>144754699

I love the Major's suit, that's some good shit. But the way the face is drawn and the short hair kills it.

>>144755977
haha thats no good man, it all makes my dick harder

all the major needs now is a s̶u̶s̶p̶i̶c̶i̶o̶u̶s̶ ̶b̶u̶l̶g̶e̶ b̶i̶g̶g̶e̶r̶ ̶r̶a̶c̶k̶ better hairstyle

>>144755977
the suit is a lot classier than the lingerie she wore in SAC

>>144753602
Arise was fine. It wasn't great. It might not even been above average. But it was fine.

>>144759768
nice

So should I watch the 10-episode series and ignore the movies? Or watch everything, starting with the movies?

>>144753000
>it is total crap.
Completely false.

>>144763475
It's garbage.

I wound up watching the first movie, it's actually pretty damn good. Not on the level of the original movie or even Stand Alone Complex, but it's nowhere near as bad as it's made out to be.

>>144753602
>certain episodes of SAC are okay
Shitter detected. SAC season one is very solid as is the first and only first manga. Just because your first exposure was Oshii's interpretation doesn't mean it all has to follow that to be good

>>144752145
Google the production/broadcast order.

>>144752145
I didn't care much for arise but the final movie cant remember what its called, the one that came out in 2015 was pretty decent, still doesn't stand up to SAC imho.

>>144765612
>>144766756

SAC is one of my favorite shows and I feel it does a solid job at exploring the world and characters a lot deeper than the movies do.

Just finished Border 3. Still pretty good, I'm having trouble finding a stream for Border 4 though so I might have to torrent that.

>>144768149

Finally found and finished Border 4. Altogether not a bad couple of movies, not as good as SAC or the original but solid in their own right. Thanks Anons.
