>>13606031
>You are now aware Masamune Shirow has an new anime.
He doesn't do the art though, and that really defeats the purpose for shirow. Was he ever good enough to write books? He couldn't even write a straightforward GitS sequel.

>>13606152
Anyway, so it is about a full body cyborg girl and an android catgirl maid who has illegal internals.

As I say, I don't understand why shirow ended up not doing any drawings.

>>13606162
Wasn't the reason the earthquake fucked Shirow over was he lost his reference material and had forgotten how to draw his old characters?

No, destroyed 20-30 years of his notes, his plans to give a proper ending to Dominion, books 5 and 6 of Appleseed, a new series that took place in the Appleseed universe 250 years later and was like a cross between Gundam and Macross and new chapters for Black Magic and Orion.

It's a sidestep on the dancing line called "Shirow".

Since he's just doing the story, though, I'm not sure if this is even a comparable case to his erotic works... well, unless you liked them for the plot, then yeah, that'll be a reason to compare them.

Are you for fucking real?
Shirow doesn't make anime in the first place, and if you think that entry level just means popular then you ought to check that your head is screwed on straight.
More than that, Shirow is able to present an issue or idea and relate it to the story that he's telling in a way that few people are capable of.

You aren't even presenting a bad yet valid viewpoint, what you're saying is outright wrong.

Use to not the case for the past decade or so.

>>13610369
>More than that, Shirow is able to present an issue or idea and relate it to the story that he's telling in a way that few people are capable of.
Through a vertiginous barrage of footnotes and plot-irrelevant dialogue.

>>13610605
The footnotes are only ever used to explain technology you gigantic fucking faggot.

>>13610608
No they aren't. They're used to narrate everything from obscure ramblings about compared theology and speculative geopolitics to Shirow's passing thoughts about gun laws and the way people smile, and also add unnecessary clarifications about what is happening in the pictures.

>>13610605
And I don't know what you're complaining about with the dialogue specifically.
I just reread the second volume of appleseed and the entire thing was fucking golden and rarely had a moment wasted.

If you'd be more specific about that point I'd be able to address it better, but I get that you're trying to speak vaguely so that you don't give away that you don't know a single thing about what you're speaking of.

>>13610626
The entire point you were making was that he delivers his ideas through footnotes, and that's not true. The footnotes are flavor. You don't even need to read them to understand the story.

And the most obscure references he makes are fucking pop philosophy that you ought to fucking know.

>>13610630
Oooh boy we got an enlightened spirit on our hands.
I'll admit that his early works have fairly concise and relevant dialogue. But if you start moving a bit further down with Appleseed you'll notice that Hitomi gets awfully chatty about stuff that has no direct relevance to the plot.

>>13610651
And my response to that is that not every fucking word needs to contribute something to the overarching story for it to be enjoyable.
If you want to talk about why you think specific parts of the story were bad then bring them up.

>>13610639
They aren't pop philosophy. They're, more often than not, just ramblings about unconnected subjects he randomly connects in mind-boggling ways for no discernible reason. But that's mostly the stuff that pops into his head while he's drawing, if he's got a clearer idea of what he's trying to convey, he's just gonna spend a page or two making the characters explain it to each other while they're chilling.

>>13610661
And your original point wasn't that his stories were enjoyable, it's that he "is able to present an issue or idea and relate it to the story that he's telling in a way that few people are capable of"

Which is inaccurate since anyone can pause his own story and make characters rant on about sociology and whatnot, and then scribble something in the margins if some far-out idea came to him in the meantime.

>>13610671
Find me something that you consider to be obscure that he references because I have no fucking clue what you're talking about.
Shirow often connects current subjects to other things. Such is what a comparison is.

>>13610680
And I haven't contradicted myself. Just because a work has fluff doesn't mean that it detracts from the story as a whole. Appleseed has its first arc about the creation of a perfect society and how man uses tools and technology to attempt to accomplish this and finishes with a clear conclusion.
Ghost in the Shell did the same thing with the characters continuously developing their ideas of what humanity is and the natural conclusion about the advancement of technology and man-machine interfacing.

His subject material is great. His designs are great. How he ties together a story is great.
The geopolitics and philosophy is fun and doesn't detract.

>>13606031
Read the first volume of the manga. Shirow and Rikudo's names on it gave me some hope, but damn what a waste of time and money. I can not see what any person would see in it, unless it was literally their first exposure to ecchi loli androids.

>>13610714
Like that time he speculates about "soul" meaning "iron molecules in our blood flow".
That one stuck out to me
>>13610714
You didn't contradict yourself, but you stated things that are plain wrong.

GitS is by far one of his weakest. I mean I'll agree with you for Appleseed as that's actually some of Shirow's best. But all the praise GitS gets comes from the movie.

>>13610743

If it isn't in Appleseed or GitS (excluding you know what) it doesn't matter. When you compare a creator with other artists, you compare their best works.
And it sounds more like a joke than anything.

Beside that, my condolences on your shit taste.

>>13610760
>But all the praise GitS gets comes from the movie.
If you're the kind of faggot that like half of the plot cut out of your story, sure.

>>13610773
I'm just going to cut to the chase and call you an Oshii cocksucker.

>>13610767
The "plot" is mostly unplanned semi-episodic nonsense with little dramatic tension or identifiable stakes, the only coherent movement one can discern is that Motoko is becoming less and less of a character and more and more of an exposition device as the story goes on.

>>13610369
Are you kidding me? Shirow is just a guy with cool concepts and designs, but shit story and characterization. Whatever ethical questions may be hidden under his pile of cliche dialogue and pointless exposition is infantile and elementary at best when compared to "real" sci-fi. Like him for what he's good at, but let's not pretend he's some kind of landmark creator.

>>13610761
>you compare their best works.
So, Orion, Dominion Conflict and early Appleseed.

Gotcha.

And yeah the blood flow thing was from GitS I think.

And because I want to get this off my back, the idea that fluff in a story is bad is a terrible idea propogated by academic literary types that hate the idea of reading something for fun in any way.

>>13610782
>Resorting to Ad Hominem
I guess we're done here.

>>13610794
Possibly, but in Shirow's case it's not always fluff (not in Appleseed and GitS anyway) it's just him going on a tangent about what you called "pop philosophy", which ranges from cringeworthy to vaguely frustrating because it makes some characters sound like smartasses.

>>13610790
You don't read Shirow for the characters, faggot.
And his stories aren't about ethics, they're typically about technology.

Honestly I think he gets flak from you types precisely because he expects you to have an interest and some in the subjects around which the story is based. Or to put it another way, precisely because it's not entry level.

>>13610816
There wasn't an argument in the first place, it was just a disagreement. You said that you don't like it, I called you a faggot with shit taste.
There's not much to talk about.

Oh and by the way, Shirow did work closely on an animation project before.

It was called Black Magic M-66 and it was pretty great.

>>13610794
No one is saying that fluff is inherently bad, read the post you've been replying to.

>>13610832
Anon was ragging on appleseed for having dialogue that wasn't plot relevant.

>>13610827
Nah man it's cool.
Like I already said, the only people who like the GitS manga are tasteless hipsters, and you've already proved that point well enough.

>>13610819
Yeah well I like it.
He does it in all of his work and that kind of exposition is one of Shirow's selling points.

>>13610821
Okay so, just to get things clear: you only read it for the gun porn and to read his descriptions of how the machines work, is that it?

I have no real problem with that (except when it goes on for two pages without setting anything up or presenting something creative, like in GitS) that's actual fluff.

the sociology and philosphy isn't. It's entry-level stuff that's made more confusing by drawing awkward comparisons between unconnected fields of studies.

>>13610821
>you're reading it wrong!
>if you don't like it, then that just means you don't like the subjects he uses!
You are a faggot of the highest order.

>>13610835
No he was raging at Appleseed for having dialogue that wasn't plot relevant and didn't contribute anything else.
Fluff is fine, but a lot of later Shirow works just get weighed down but shit that really doesn't add anything. See the second half of Appleseed where we're introduced to a bunch of different characters and locations all at the same time, resulting in that half feeling much less focused and defined.
Fluff is fine, but when it starts to take away from the story that's when there's a problem.

>>13610819
Actually, allow me to elaborate why I don't think this is a bad thing.
When you read something like shakespeare there are plenty of characters you wouldn't expect to be speaking in iambic pentameter, and in Nisio there are plenty of characters you wouldn't expect to be witty enough to make the kinds of wordplay they do.
But you suspend your disbelief because you enjoy that kind of thing and it's easy to figure that this is just the kind of setting where everyone knows how to do that thing.

>>13610841
It's his selling point until people (except you for some reason) actually read it and realize it's neither smart nor enlightening nor entertaining, just kind of a bother that might hook them on to other sources that actually explain interesting stuff when they're too tired of trying to figure out what he had in mind and how it could conceivably connect to the story.

>>13610859
>Fluff is fine, but a lot of later Shirow works just get weighed down but shit that really doesn't add anything

>fluff is fine but it isn't
As far as the second arc of Appleseed goes, I wouldn't judge it because it was never finished.

>>13610863
As I implied before, his connections aren't hard to understand at all if you just know a bit about the general subject material before going into it.
It's not written for everybody, that doesn't make it bad.

>>13610864
>fluff is fine but it isn't
Way to miss the whole fucking point retard.
And Appleseed is perfectly fair game as it's never going to be finished.
It doesn't matter what he had planned, this is the result.
And even with it's premature ending in mind, a lot of it could have been incorporated in a much more natural way than text dumps.

>>13610862
Bad comparison, the format is different, and on top of that, it still does bother me to find those things so often in theater. Less so if it's in a musical or something, cause the format accommodates flowery language and poetry even more.

Here it's a comic book. You can depict anything you fucking want. So if you want to illustrate a cool idea and its repercussion just fucking do it instead of just making characters talk about it.

Wouldn't that be fucking better? It's like if a character from a Shakespearian play decided to go on a tirade about how fucking cool tirades are, without making it rhyme or anything.

>>13610850
I don't go into a perfume shop and complain how they aren't selling electronics parts, anon.
>>13610848
No, there's very little I don't enjoy in a Shirow manga.
> that's made more confusing by drawing awkward comparisons between unconnected fields of studies.
This is exactly why I'm saying you should have an interest in the subjects that he writes about if you're going to enjoy them properly.

>>13610882
I do.
Fucking faggy shops think they can just stay there being faggy without selling not even a single transistor.

>>13610871
Well congratulations, you're one of the ten guys who get what he meant with all those half-assed comments about buddhism and phone calls.
In the meantime there are some people who'd like to get invested in the action or something. Cause there's also some of that. Or to get more attached to the girl that cute ass belongs to. Cause that's also a big selling point.

>>13610875
No, it's not fair game. It's easy to say that there are a bunch of loose ends and seemingly irrelevant characters before the story ends because that's how you develop a fucking story. You can't make a salad without any ingredients.
>>13610881
But he does illustrate it when the subject material lends itself to illustration. Like that bit about cyborg mechanics.

>>13610890
Fair enough, it makes me angry too.
>>13610895
It's fine to like only specific parts of a story, but that doesn't make the rest of it bad.

>>13610898

Then if it doesn't lend itself to illustration AND has no direct bearing on the plot, the characters, or the backstory, DON'T FUCKING MENTION IT.

IT'S THAT SIMPLE.

Cause when he does, whether you understand it or not, it suspends the rhythm of the story, it makes characters sound like smartasses, and it confuses you by making you expect to see those themes expanded on in a satisfying way later on.

I can not fathom how you can fail to understand how that's a problem. This is basic storytelling, not even academic stuff, just common sense.

but these are characters, it's presented in a story that at least pretends to have clear goals.
It's irregular and out of place. It's distracting, it's a bother, and it makes the characters less likable and less believable, because it's often a jarring contrast from their usual behavior.

>>13610965
And as I have been saying, that's just part and parcel of how Shirow tells a story. It's easy to assume a sitatuion in which everyone can speak iambic pentameter or argue with socrates or some other such thing because that's part of what makes the story entertaining.

>>13610978
It's still a really fucking clumsy and awkward way of conveying your ideas.

Like, I actually find the taoist physics explained in Orion to be pretty entertaining and interesting, but that doesn't make the story flow any less awkardly. It still feels very tiresome to go from a scene of spectacular mass destruction with Seska's thighs on top, to two pages of buddhist vocabulary. At least he confines himself to that one subject and dilutes it throughout his manga, and it's still relevant to the plot.
But even then, all the painstakingly long explanations are unnecessary and mostly break my immersion, it's like having five extra pages each chapter written in sanskrit with a very rudimentary lexicon on the side.

And this, mind you, is when it's still fully integrated into the plot. And it's still a fucking chore. As far as storytelling goes, this is a flaw.

You must be one of those young nerd types who are still full of childlike wonder at the mysteries of the universe or someshit.

You're grossly exaggerating.
The vast majority of the time in Shirow work, action is confined to action and dialogue is confined to dialogue and there's plenty of time between to transition.

Now that I think of it, he never really did a manga about a cheerful, trigger-happy, underdressed mecha girl or mecha pilot.

Motoko could have been that, hadn't she become all gloomy after two chapters.

I mean, it's important to remind ourselves that her tactical uniform is a skintight catsuit with a padded thong, thigh-high boots and a flak vest over it.

>>13613775
I glanced through some raws and it looked a lot like more magical girls with cybernetics instead of magic. Guns, giant robots and this-person-needs-saving plots.

It was showing some hints of depth in glimpses of what the lead character went through, etc. but I think it was just getting started with the plot then and my Japanese isn't very good anyways.

>>13613798
He is quite capable of it.

The Kobe earthquake which destroyed his studio, triggering a fire which burned most of his original art.

It left him literally mind-broken, and now he is 100% into digital art for this reason. And doesn't want to make mangas anymore because of the GitS publisher who forced him to respect his contract and continue GitS even if he didn't want to ( Which led to the horror of Man-Machine Interface ).

I have no idea how that leotard works

>>13617414
So what you're saying is that Shirow is a gigantic pussy and that's why his career is a complete failure? You think something like would have stopped or lowered the quality of Tezuka or Ishinomori's work?

>>13617592
his careerisn't a complete failure, he's still getting loads of money from GITS royalties

I was hoping that at some point that would run dry and they'd have to adapt other IPs he's produced, but look at what they picked: post-kobe lolishit he didn't even draw

>>13617592
Maybe, who knows ? They didn't got into what he have been through.

For an artist being this passionate into his work, I can understand why he totally lost it when basically all his art turned into ashes. It was literally his life so far, and what made him one of the most influencial mangakas of the time, and even history.

And for the contract part, he loved his universes way too much to make shit about it, so there again, I can understand why he hid himself for several years, being sued in the process, and finally getting to be forced to do it, or lose anything he had left.

But yeah, as >>13617659 stated, his career isn't a failure from that point. Sure, all this shit probably made us miss some others state of the art mangas, like the following of Appleseed he had in mind, but he is now respected in the hentai artist community, and his past reputation also didn't die, making him work on several big projects as a concept advisor, like basically anything related to GitS or Appleseed ( For good or bad, he wasn't the one to take the final decisions anyway ), and other projects here and there.

>>13617659
You do understand that 99% of anime is advertisement for something, and Ghost Urn is currently being published.

>>13618214
Not him, but the manga isn't drawn nor written by Shirow.

He just made up the base concept.
