As I understand it there is no "best" version of this story, not the manga, anime series or movies so I dont see why everyone is freaking out.

If you want to see a franchise be shat all over go watch Assassin's Creed.

I grew up with the anime movie and honestly is not that great of a masterpiece, just like Akira is not the masterpiece most normies think it is, what im saying is dont get meme'd /tv/ into thinking the anime is the absolute truth.

I will give it a chance, not hype but a bit curious.

The movie was good, don't let anyone else lead you to believe otherwise. You don't have to go see it if you don't want to but it was good.

I legit really want this movie on blu ray. I wanna know how they pulled off some of the visuals they did.

It's seriously a shame that it's not doing well, reviewers are shitheads and they need to understand that normies don't care if it's not as deep as the original.

>>81143215
Same here. I hope they release an unrated edition

Sometimes all of those people saying the opposite of the popular opinion are actually correct.

You won't regret watching this movie. That is unless you walk in with your mind half made up or obsess over differences of the source material.

Try to enjoy it, and you will.

>>81143036
The visuals look GOAT and /cyb/ as all hell compared to any film before it. However, ScarJo's acting is just...awful.

For fucks sakes, why did they have to choose ScarJo? She can't act worth shit. She's ruining the entire atmosphere of the movie.

It's not extraordinary but it fits the tone of the movie, if that makes sense.
There is one small part that was strobing electro-baton swinging that would have given me a seizure if it lasted much longer than it did though

>>81143411
Honestly even the flaws people have I think could be fixed easily. Introducing a weird plot about cyborgs in neo-Tokyo is easy in a niche jap anime movie where people expect that and animation suspends disbelief, but no way normies would accept that in an American live action movie, ESPECIALLY not if they start quoting Descartes.

Give them cash to make a sequel and they could go full Innocence or some shit but yeah not gonna happen now.

>>81143411
Fucking critics. What else do they want? quip films over and over? I wanted to like Skull Island but it was so rushed due to it being connected to a cinematic universe that we didnt get any characters to care about

>>81143433
For some (((reason))) she got famous and somehow because she played in capeshit studios now assume that she's bankroll material, therefore casting her is their main priority despite her glaring acting flaws.

>>81143433
>ScarJo's acting is just...awful.

>>81143036
Not fat, but short and thick. That's a "major" difference *See what I did "she" chose a super hot body to get people to hesitate when shooting.

At this point I think the cultural significance of the originals will die. Whedontards love their tough women. Even if she was a male the entire time to get better reactions.

Pseudopschycology went out the door with the matrix and their shit sequels. Plus half the hopeful fans watched the series before seeing a high profile movie on a beloved franchise.

>>81143480
Nice. That's all I really wanted was an above average movie with some actual skill involved. Might have to give it a shot.

I won't watch it, I'm sure it's not offensively bad, just perfectly bland and mediocre like I imagine the Total Recall remake to be. From the few scenes I've seen, it looks like soulless, visionless trash that just try hard to re-create scenes from Oshii's film. It's fanboy wank. It looks off, too much CGI, etc. whereas the animated film was undeniably unique looking. You can tell this director has respect for the material but no ideas of his own. Whereas when I see Matrix, which was derivative and had all these similar influences, I can tell it's still unique and driven by a real vision from the filmmakers. Having said that, the material is so strong aesthetically, that even poorly ripping off scenes from it put it above the average Hollywood blockbuster in terms of world building, production value, set design, etc. It does look colorful and atmospheric without being tasteless. The same critics who shit on it but mindlessly praise equally soulless trash like Disney Marvel are retards.

>>81143471
It's probably cause she's Jewish too, and we all know how the tribe prefers their own...

>>81143479
I'm not lying. I'm legitimately put off by her acting. Every time she talks, the moment of immersion dissolves and I have to get back into it. And her movements are so...static. She doesn't seem to move naturally at all (yeah, I know they use cables and shit, but still)

I was actually pleasantly surprised. I expected to hate it since I'm a big fan of the original. They changed so much of the story that it's barely even comparable. They basically told a completely different story while borrowing a few scenes and ideas from the original. It was no masterpiece, but it's totally serviceable. Decent flick.

Why the fuck should I believe you? You don't even have any reference to what it could have been and you obviously don't care at all.

Its fine if you like it, but know that fans had high expectations for this that just weren't met, and in place of those expectations they put in bullshit like her origin story, SICK WALL JUMPING SHOOTOUTS PEW PEW, and love interests.

This isn't what GitS is. Maybe I'd be less judgemental about the whole thing if they didn't steal iconic scenes only to make them so much worse.

Not good enough. "Fans" are just bitch about "muh whitewashing." Actual fans are enjoying it for what it is. Sure you're going to think the scenes are worse if you want it to be the anime, but that is never what it was supposed to be. (Even I am a little disappointed in not nips, but it is what it is.) If you want to watch the anime they just watch it again instead of bitching about this not being it.

Based

Only part i didnt like was how underwhelming the defeat of the spider tank was compared to the original anime film.

Her whole body should have been shatterd, but in the 2017 film she only lost her left arm and the rest of her body was intact,but slightly damage.

When i first saw the spider tank scene as a kid, i was awe struck at how she just ripped her whole body apart trying to kill it.

2017 film just makes it feel like an "Mehhhhh and then she just walks it off and is okay.

The lightning all around me
I remember each flash
As time began to blur
Like a startling sign
That fate had finally found me
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

So give me reason
To prove me wrong
To wash this memory clean
Let the floods cross
The distance in your eyes
Give me reason
To fill this hole
Connect this space between
Let it be enough to reach the truth that lies
Across this new divide

There was nothing inside
The memories left abandoned
There was nowhere to hide
The ashes fell like snow
And the ground caved in
Between where we were standing
And your voice was all I heard
That I get what I deserve

Fact is, *WITHIN* the same society, you are allowed to do whatever you want. Even make a play with a Chinese Jesus Christ.

Yes, it is called "appropriation" in some sense. But since it is for "intra-culture" use, nobody will argue. I mean: way before

This happens throughout Europe, Asia, Africa. Nobody worries. Nobody has a problem with that.

Only Amerifats chimp out whenever something is changed about some ethnicity. They want to watch fantasy stuff and then they complain there are no black Elves. Guess what? Nobody in Nairobi gave a shit. Everyone watched the Lord of the Rings and enjoyed it.

If anything, Kenyans told me they wish they had a movie industry like America, so that they could make their *own* stories with their own characters. Not just black Elves or non-Chinese Anime characters.

Only Americans chimp out if you touch race in a work of fiction.

Never in the movie did they say it was Japan and only Kitano spoke Japanese. They clearly kept it vague on purpose dude.

>>81144645

But the universe is totally different. This movie took place in a Blade Runner style cyberpunk city with tons of holographic ads and neon lights. The original Ghost in the Shell took place in a fairly standard looking Asian city. It also took place in a universe in which full body replacement is a fairly normal thing. Here, the Major is supposed to be the first ever.

>>81144409
I don't even know why I keep replying to you.

I stated already I have no problem with the race of the Major, yet you want to continue to lump me in with those people.

I completely understand that it wasn't supposed to be anime. The problem I'm having is that each shot that they tried to recreate from the anime is poorly executed comparatively. If they couldn't do it better they should've made their own scenes instead of playing off nostalgia.

I could possibly forgive all of that if they had kept the themes instead of trying to make an origin story for a NEW SUPER COOL HERO so that they could make bank off a franchise. What made GitS what it was was its themes and they completely scraped it all for a revenge/origin story.

>>81143036
Just went to see the movie - I don't know why everyone is bashing it.
They used good bits from the first movie, Innocence (which I thought was the better and deeper of the movies), and the series. It respected the work and addressed the same philosophy of the original. Solid 8/10, just wished they used the iconic theme in the beginning.

What does this have to do with philosophy

>>81143036
Saw this tonight
Holy fuck it was a steaming turd, I'm convinced that none of the production team saw the original movie, sequel, or any episodes of the show. It's almost as if they just read a quick synopsis on Wikipedia and looked up a 'ghost in the shell best moments' video on youtube and tried to copy the cinematography of it. The acting was fucking dull, especially on ScarJo's part, the story is absolutely retarded on so many levels(for instance, why the fuck would you kidnap teenagers and put their brains in cyborg bodies, suppressing their memories instead of working on an AI system that is able to think and make rational decisions and choices on its own, which is a logical extension of current technology anyways), and any of the decent side-bits and explanations or showcases of future technology(such as the high-velocity ammunition featured in the original, being a /k/ommando I loved that bit). You're also telling me that in a world where easily 1/3 of everyone is cybernetically enhanced in some fashion, the Major is the only fucking full body cyborg? She was specified as a rarity in the original, because most people want to keep some parts of themselves/the operations are expensive, but I clearly remember there being old rich people in young cybernetic bodies they bought. It takes a shit all over the worldbuilding of the original and instead opts for a pseudo-intellectual storyline that blames muh big bad government for everything wrong with a person.

The movie fucking SUCKED

Quite enjoyed it.

"philosophy" of it was neither too deep to be too far up its own ass, nor too shallow as to make it feel like a generic action flick.

The visuals felt like they where held back by some production values at times, but were ultimately fantastic.

Complaining about "whitewashing" of the characters feels very stupid after actually having watched it.

Lack of a particular piece of hardware during a particular scene annoyed me more than anything.

So in terms of Ghost in the Shell as a franchise. Where does this go?

For me it's basically

GITS SAC >>>>>>>>>> First movie >>>>>>>> 2nd gig >SSC >>>>>>>>>>> ARISE

Manga can't even fit in here because the Manga has essentially nothing to do with the rest of the franchise.

>>81145987
Thats the power of /v/eddit

>>81145990
But there was no actual 'philosophy'. There were a few scenes where characters smashed you over the head with surface-level discussion of it, but that was it. The movie thought that alluding to it in dialogue was enough.
As for the visuals, I really did like most of the set design and costumes. The CG on the other hand, was almost universally awful. Not helped by how heavily it was based on some of the worse parts of Innocence. I also really liked their casting of Batou. He nailed it.

>>81145781
She isn't. She really is just way too old.

>>81146052
Somewhere around Arise. Not sure which side of it, but it's on that level of turd.

>>81146075
>The movie thought that alluding to it in dialogue was enough.

Eh, Isn't this a problem in the Osii films as well?

Innocence was particularly bad with just these long philosophical exposition dumps dropping quotes and philosophers in entirely tedious shallow ways.

>>81145987

I mean it's fine to like bad movies. Just don't pretend like bad movies are good. I like Iron Man 2, but you don't see me shitting up the board even more than it already is by creating a thread trying to convince people who know better that Iron Man 2 is a bad movie.

Can't tell if you are still trolling because you said you think the filmmakers didnt study the source material at all when there was lots of references in the movie... you contradicted yourself massively

>"I BELIEVE THE FILMMAKERS DID NOT WATCH THE ANIME FILMS AT ALL DESPITE THERE BEING HEAPS OF REFERENCES TO THE FILMS
This is how you sound

>>81146138
Not exactly. Oshii's film had the problem of long monologues on the topics. In the case of '95 at least, the entire movie was about the topics being discussed. They were always about addressing topics that the entire piece was raising. In 2017, they just sort of mention things on occasion.
Now, Innocence I will not defend.
>>81146180
What I would say is that the references were surface-level. It skimmed things without thinking about the role they played in the original. The merging of Kuze and The Puppetmaster, for instance, displays a complete lack of understanding of why either of them worked in the original works.

But the true discussion of this kino is has anyone really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like?

Kuze looked great in this movie but he needed more of a political agenda instead of just getting vengeance.

YES in the anime he has a political agenda.

Maybe the filmmakers didn't wanna put the refugee stuff in there due to Trump being president and then people would call this a political movie since Kuze in the anime wants to bring in refugees into Tokyo and he is considered a terrorist.

The movie is good. Also ScarJo is there.

>>81146314

One is a sequel and one is an adaptation. That's basically the bulk of their difference from each other.

>>81146467
The movie is good with nostalgia of 80s, 90s futuristic movies as well as the many references to the anime but with a plot twist.

It's a good movie true. Why critics and people have to think it is "trash" when it is not trash.

Why does /co/mblr get angry at a film for western audiences having a white lead but not the blatant niggerwashing that's going on in hollywood right now?

>>81146324
>built for battle

She's a very basic model, le anime says that the same model is used for things like sexbots. She is supposed to have massive tits because she is basically an all-purpose model, and all-purpose includes slambots.

I also meant that her tits weren't exposed, not that they weren't big enough.

>>81146427
Kuze is more than just a political agenda, though. He's a reflection of The Major, specifically SAC's version of The Major. And that Major was an established character before they tried to undercut her. Similarly, Project 2501 was basically the embodiment of movie Major's identity crisis. They were finely tuned characters for their versions of the IP.
What they did was pants-on-head retarded.
>>81146303
So you didn't mind the mustache twirling villain? The one that even assumed direct control of the spider tank so the poor audience knows he's the baddest dude?

>>81146540
because that fits the agenda. And remember, the agenda is more important than reality.

>>81146545
The idea is that her exterior is production-line, so nobody tries to strip her for parts. Because her guts are all kinds of classified.

>production-line

Her "exterior" is covered by a latex suit in the ScarJo movie. You wouldn't program modesty into an all-purpose cyborg. She looks like a human being wearing a cyborg jumpsuit. What does production line have to do with anything? How would nipples make her harder to strip for parts?

Kusanagi's indifference to her own nudity was an important aspect of her identity, and a way for the writer's to explore the differences between synthetic life and natural life.

It was admittedly also an excuse to show nice big titties on the screen but my point stands.

You guys like borrowing other's opinions. Why don't you stop being shitters and use this guys opinions instead?

>>81146804
Please read posts and their context. I was talking about the older iterations of the IP. In those, it's made clear that they use a factory-standard option for her appearance to avoid attention.
As for this one... fuck. I don't know. They didn't even bother with the world-building. The big bad's evil plot of 'kidnap people, turn them into cyborgs, lie to them so the kill terrorists' didn't even have a fucking payoff. They never actually explained what the endgame was there. Not even a 'With the technology we developed for her, we could make billions of dollars!' or something.

>>81146252
>she is a cyborg so it makes sense.
A cyborg is not the same thing as an android, anon.

But they lost me with the no-nudity thing, too. In a movie where (just going by the trailer) they went to great lengths to try to copy many shots precisely from the anime, they didn't copy the lead character's look with similar precision.

Problem is they wanted a PG-13 movie, and there's no way they get that if she's topless for like a third of the film.

IMO, the fact that they neutered the film to make it PG-13 is far worse offense than casting a (((white))) actress to play Major Kusanagi.

>>81146885
>it's made clear that they use a factory-standard option for her appearance to avoid attention
This still doesn't address my point. All you're saying is that she is a standard model, and I agree with you. What I am saying is that the standard model has nipples. "Factory-standard" doesn't mean "without defining features." If it did then they would have made a completely androgynous model instead. Kusanagi has nipples and does not care about having her tits out PERIOD.

>deflecting off into another unrelated topic
If you're a female then just tell me now so I can stop responding.

>>81146986
But they introduced a new villain and a new origin story for The Major, then didn't even bother to finish it.

>>81147010
I don't know what you think you're arguing about. A standard female design has nipples, yes. I was never disputing that.

>>81147017
it's there to give her an inner dilemma and establish the idea of distant tech corporations taking away human agency, do you really care that much if the bad guy (who is barely even a character and is only there to establish that theme) gets a speech where he explains his plan?

the relationship between the major and kuze were the main thing to focus on, it really doesn't matter why some dickhead is being a dickhead

>>81147071
But if you're going to make it all about the eeeeeeevil plan that put them in that position, at least make the plan coherent on a basic level.

>>81147071
Nerds like their villain monologues.

>>81147040
What are you disputing?

>>81147116
I was never disputing anything. I was just pointing out that in most continuities, her external appearance is fairly generic while her internals are all riced out. Because somebody previously seemed to be saying that the entirety of her shell was an entry level model.

>>81147092
his plan was to create subservient cyborgs that would have the benefits of decision-making skills without the technological flaws of artificial intelligence, but he didn't want them retaining their souls, just their human intuition. that's it. that's literally it and it's obvious from the first scene he's in. if you wanna argue that it's TOO simple and he has no depth then go ahead but you make it sound like he's lex luthor in bvs.

>>81143269
Even if you do that, you will still find it as samy as any other popcorn flick

>>81147092
It isn't all about the evil plan, it is all about the relationship between the Major and Kuze, and the Major herself, as explained in the post that you just responded to. The evil plan is cosmetic and secondary.

>>81147161
I was bitching about the lack of nudity and you started in with "she shouldn't have big tits" and that she is production line. You were disputing my (misunderstood on your behalf) desire for her to have big tits and then started talking about factory standards. Did you think that you were responding to somebody else?

So this may have been answered already in the thread, but why is it that when she wears a tanktop, her skin looks like a normal person?

It really frustrated me up until I realized it's supposed to be a prequel to the 95 film. I felt like if I went in knowing that, I'd have liked it more.

I'm not a weaboo or anything, but I legitimately don't understand why Hollywood feels the need to take stuff like this and make it worse.

SWOOSH SWOOSH SWOOSH *images of holograms and non-descript text fly by* *jumps of overly-designed building and through a bunch of pointless holograms and breaks into a room filled with needlessly over-designed characters*

Like, why? The whole point of GitS to me was that it was one of the most realistic looking cyperpunk worlds with a nice, relatively contemporary aesthetic. Shit looked normal by and large, and dealt with real issues like illegal immigration and drug trafficking. Whats the point of putting in extra work to make it look like a Blade Runner knock-off? Why retarded geisha robots instead of human extras? Why extremely noticeable implants and prosthetics for no real reason?

>>81147639

I'm not knocking the fact that their geishas, I'm knocking the fact that they're edgy looking robots unlike the source material.

At least we have Villeneuve Blade Runner soon.

>>81147736
I just re-watched the 1995 film and all of the CG displays for things were actually presented in logical, understandable ways. It was cool green basic CG but information was actually readable and usable. Can't say the same of the JACKING INTO THE NET stuff that the new one used.

>>81147612
I get what you're saying, but I don't think this is the typical version of someone telling someone else to "turn their brain off."

It's not dumb. That's the usual reason one tells another to do that.

>>81147638
>>81147679

I mean it would explain why the second time her and Batou are so nonchalant about the whole thing

>>81147788
I walked in with that approach, and for the first few scenes I was trying to take the film as its own thing. But it kept leaning so heavily on the other versions of the franchise that it was impossible to NOT make those comparisons. If it was a good movie, I could've dealt with it. I didn't sit through Edge of Tomorrow thinking about All You Need Is Kill.

Scarjos actings sucked
She's not physically graceful and/or talented enough to perform the fight choreography
The script was atrocious (the part where they talk about her ghost in the shell made me cringe)
Batou was a lot better than I thought he would be and the cybernetic eyes looked a lot better in the film that I expected them to from the trailer
Takashi looked like he barely wanted to be there
The 'philosophy' appears to have been injected in an attempt to appease fans of the anime, the reality is that the story is (at the end of the day) about the Major sticking it to the evil Military Industrial complex
The action scenes were pretty dull and uninspired
Some of the CGI is pretty horrendous (Scarjo running around during the tank battle and the water fight are big ones)
The aesthetic was great
The music was great

>>81147518
I want to popularize a subgenre of mildly erotic adventure/thriller movies with lots of nudity. I would have just had the Major be actually naked in all of her scenes, but that would never fly in American theaters.

>>81147853

GITS is good, not great and could have used a bit more inspiration and an R-rating and it would have been this years DREDD. But the low rating is underserved and only exists because of the SJW autistics who have moved on from sucking nigger cock because Moonlight's Oscar win placated their white guilt and now care about "whitewashing" only because they need another shiny object to target to manufacture outrage and drawn attention to themselves.

They attack Iron Fist because the lead character is a rich white guy who knows Kung-fu and attack GITS because the lead is a white woman. But they skeet loads over Jessica Jones because it's about a 90lbs white woman who beats up men 3X her size when not taking nigger cock up the ass which SJW's see as "diversity".

THEY CAN GO FUCK THEMSELVES!!! You want a reasonably well made Sci-fi cyberpunk action flick drenched in neon and synth the Ghost in the Shell is worth the money.

You know, once I saw the movie, it didn't seem like it mattered, except:

Why did they go to the trouble of making her look Asian?

>>81148026
There are two reasons you didn't do that with Edge of Tomorrow.

1.) It was very different.
2.) You didn't WATCH All You Need Is Kill.

GitS was close enough that you say a lot of comparisons. Your shitty brain couldn't separate them and judge GitS 2017 on its own merit.

You're putting far too much weight into what I used as an example. And doing it to make a poor defense of a terrible movie.

>>81148026
That's because they're pretty different, and I personally did compare some while watching Edge of Tomorrow.

yes, it's great. don't listen to the haters, they're just parroting around what some critics said. they have no opinion of their own.

Indeed, I did argue against your example/point for a movie that I believe is good, and you believe is bad. Got me.

>>81148104
I think you mean "didn't." She looks pretty fucking white in the anime. It just blows my mind that we, as a country, have large numbers of people who won't see a movie because it has white people in it. Just think about that for a second.

Maintaining the spirit and thematic direction of the original material is all you need for a good adaptation.

People who whinge about it having an altered plot, different character appearances, or missing subplots are typically autistic people who failed to apprieciate or understand the strengthd of the source work.

Not defending GitS though, I don't care for the movie nor the poor blade runner imitating cartoons and pulp comics that proceeded it.

Draw a stick figure. Looks like a white guy, right?

Perception is a funny thing. Anime is inspired by western animation, in that big eyes equals easier expression. It's not Japan drawing white people. It's you believing Japanese drawings of Japanese people look like white people.

>>81148354
>Draw a stick figure. Looks like a white guy, right?
no...

dont watch jshit or anime so i thought this movie was watchable. it isn't good though, why does everyone in the movie act like they dont want to be there? the acting is so fucking bad and it makes everything pervasively worse (action has no weight, the story has no emotion)

>>81148354
Oh, you again.

How are things for you these days, bud?

Duplicate reply:

Intensifying and focusing on the differences between the source and the new movie is biased as fuck.

Yes, it is worse than the source material. But it's still good on it's own. Getting upset that it isn't AS GOOD and labeling the movie as BAD is childish.

From what I've heard. They fucked up the basic plot of the major and why she does shit, even fucked up the puppetmaster/villain.

If that is not a major fuck up I dunno what is.

Changing things don't make them instantly negative, dork.

It's a decent enough movie. It just gets hate from autists for not being true enough to the source material and from sjws for whitewashing.

Its like fucking up bladerunner with having Rick Deckard doing the opposite shit like not doing any questioning or bountyhunt and having the replicant not having feels of feels of human.

It would change "Do Androids Dream of Electronic sheep".

Why didn't they cast Olivia Wilde for Major Kusanagi ? She would be perfect for it, even resembles the original

WHY DOES EVERY SHOT HAVE TO HAVE A MOVING CAMERA. KEEP IT STILL YOU FUCK

>>81149973
Because they needed somebody who would draw normie Americans to a weird live action manga adaptation based on a franchise they know only as "that thing the kid who looked like a school shooter at my high school liked."

Plus Olivia Wilde's only noteworthy role was in the incredbily forgettable Tron sequel, wherein she made my dick rock hard.

That happened to me. Overheard a guy couple seats below me said he almost fell asleep.

Honestly don't understand the constant hate for ScarJo. Is it just overexposure?

>>81150375
On a board that vehemently defense BvS on a regular basis, you can absolutely assume that it's just faggots who go "duhhhh she in marvel, she bad!!!"
I don't even like her in those movies but she's a great actress when she gives a fuck.

>>81150375
It's because she's the big thing and also not Natalie Portman.

That'd be actually quite creative.

>that'd

Not sure if that's a typo for "that's" but it actually happens in the movie.
Whenever someone asks her name for most of the movie she says "Mira Killian," and personally I groaned thinking they Americanized her name for the west. Then it turns out she was actually Asian, had her memories wiped, and was given an American body and voice.

I see it as a commentary on the accusations of whitewashing and the expectation that it would be bastardized. Of course they only cast Scarlett because she's a box office draw, but they handled it nicely in a way that threw me off as a fan of the original, in a good way. It's very GitS, an expression of "it's who I am as a person that defines me and not my race, regardless of the fact that my nationality shaped the events of my life."

She also never says "my name is Mira" or "my name is Motoko" unless someone is asking her for non-personal reasons. She only ever refers to herself as "Major" in that way, she seems to cast off Motoko Kusanagi as another label that doesn't suit who she is anymore because she's transcended racial/national identity.

>>81143036
Movie was actually good. They kept all the 'iconic' moments, barely changing anything from the source material. The only people that won't enjoy the movie are people that has never seen the anime and/or non anime fans, both which I can understand. Other than that movie was pretty solid, a little weak third act, and would have loved it a bit more if it was rated R .

Laughing man (Google laughing man fansubs) was releasing them like a week after their Japanese air dates when I was watching them. They had a great group of translators and even included footnote annotations explaining Japanese context to script. After the official is releases came out in better quality I got them only to be supremely depressed with the translation they had.

Topkek what a try hard contrarian retard, the 6 manga novels of akira are absolutely a masterpiece.

If they did and based it on gits2 it'd end up being accused of being either a matrix ripoff or to complex.
