Which Anime are you watching or have watched recently IV?

[The Empire of Pretantia]

So I'm catching up on Akiba's Trip, and all that's going through my head at the end of episode 6 is,"Deshi Basara."

Also, "Superman..."

And I'm just gonna rub more salt in the wound and tell you that Araki (Jojo's mangaka) is the main reason designs like those are so popular.

Or how about the fact that Vento Aureo is the most popular part overseas and is probably one of the best parts in the entire series?

Or the fact that Araki had art that was displayed in the Louvre.

And Fonzie has a jacket in the Smithsonian. What's your point?

Well, that's just more of a reason (And the list grows pretty quick) to stop where I am.

You only had one reason to not like it to begin with, and then it took you about a month to come up with another.

That's not what I would call quick.

You're implying Ameri can come with good reasons for hating something.

I consider both my reasons good reasons.

Not wanting to watch a show even though you liked it before because you don't like how a main character looks (despite the fact he has one of the least flashy outfits in the series up to that point) isn't really a good reason though.

Maybe not to you. Perfectly good reason in my book, though.

[The Islands of Versilia]

Has anyone else read the manga of 'Gakkou Gurashi!' (otherwise known as 'School-Live!')? I've read up to vol. 4, and was wondering if anyone else has/is reading it.

[Immoren]

Nyanko Days had no cats and Please tell me! Galko-chan OVA made me feel older than neccesary.

No kitties and a bitchy new character.

Weak.

Go to Hell, Steve Aoki...whoever that is.

And go to Hell everyone involved in this travesty of a movie. They've turned it into a generic revenge movie. Last I checked, that's not what the original movie was about!

The original film also deviates a lot from the manga, so I'm not sure what the issue is.

They turned it into a goddamn RoboCop rehash is the issue!

[Grand Britannia]

Was the CGI synthetic body on Johansson necessary...

[Ameriganastan]

This entire movie wasn't necessary.

[Britanania]

Was the CGI synthetic body on Johansson necessary...

I think it's to make her look more inhuman, for obvious reasons.

But you see, they actually did something new and unique with the film (The philosophical and scientific meaning of humanity in a world that's becoming more and more integrated with technology), while the live action movie's shaping up to be a generic revenge film with some elements of GITS.

I mean, the 95 movie isn't very good from a story telling standpoint, but from a cultural, philosophical, and technical standpoint, it's brilliant.

I thought it was a little weak, actually. Way too hyped perhaps, but I was not impressed with the cultural and philosophical side.

Ok, philosophical side's subjective.

However, the cultural side is not, GITS is one of the only reasons we actually have anime companies working with the Western markets. Denying it's cultural impact is denying a pivotal part of anime history in the West.

I attribute that more to Sailor Moon and Dragon Ball, and to a lesser degree Akira. I'm not denying Ghost's importance, but I found it underwhelming.

Right now my prediction is that we're getting a movie that's going to be pretty much identical to the RoboCop reboot of a few years back. Only without a Samuel L Jackson hosted talk show on Fox News to carry the film.

Okay to start off here, I love GitS. The Manga is good, the movies are good. The first movie is one of maybe 3 or 4 Anime that I think of as films I recommend rather than Anime that I recommend. But stating that's its only of the only reasons we have Anime companies doing stuff in the west is ridiculous.

Because it is.

It and Akira both showed that, while yes, anime can be for kids (This was around the time DBZ and Sailor Moon was airing), that it could also be for adults, and became wildly successful because of that. It showed anime companies that there was a growing market in the West, and they decided to capitalize on that trend. (Remember, the anime boom happened about 3-5 years after GITS)
