Motoko Kusanagi on the cover

>Motoko Kusanagi on the cover
>you play as the Tachikoma

Can someone explain this blatant false advertising? I have to at least commend them for fooling so many people into thinking you will play as the Major back then. This is some high tier misleading right there into buying your game. They've done an excellent job.

They wanted to make sure you knew who the series' protagonist was.

And let me tell you, this cover art isn't even the whole thing. Motoko is standing on top of Tachikuma, which is the main focus of this game, but they deliberately cropped it out. This is some major jewing right there.

Who cares, Motoko a shit.

you play as major IN the tachikoma

No. You play as some noname rookie, not Motoko.

Okay step back.

What in the hell would a proper Ghost in the Shell game look like for the PS1?

Maybe a third person shooter type thing?

...

That was already done with the PS2 release of GiTS. How about not blatantly lying about your game?

>That was already done with the PS2 release of GiTS.
But OPs game is a PS1 game
>How about not blatantly lying about your game?
How about you read up on a game before it's release? Or look at the back of a box before you buy it?

confus

Fuchikoma

The information wasn't for widespread in the 90s. You can't deny that they were banking on the name alone and the decision to make it about anything but the main character is just baffling.

>The information wasn't for widespread in the 90s
Maybe some magizine ads were hard to find.
...
But the back of the box, user?
You can read it there, it's obvious you won't be the major

What ships more boxes, spider bots or hot anime girls? Be serious.

Between Norm and Bubble.

The movie and anime in general were very niche back then, but probably the best known version of Gits at the time. The manga the game was based on was even more niche. Most people knew jack shit about the characters back then. The game was pretty rare itself. No one was mislead.

Do you remember the fucking ad in magazines for this game?
Super sexy Shiro artwork of the major with a huge ass machine gun.

...

...

Nothing can beat the first GITS movie for that scene, even if it's been redone in some way in every iteration of GITS since.

Don't tell me this is a remake of the original scene. The only thing worse would've been the Hollywood version.

Tfw double wide

Jesus imagine if Batou looked like that all the time.

Not really considering sci fi cjannel played them and all stores had an anime section

Hi~

It actually is a proper GitS, if you remember how much of the story revolves around the Fuchikomas. Sure, it's a 3rd person shooter, but the story, voices, animation, music, and settings were pure GitS.

The artbook for the game was orgasmic, though the strat guide was B&W bullshit.

Aren't the FMVs for this game on some obscure Japanese only DVD?

...

>niche
Fuck off, they were huge. Even normies were going on about how good the movie was. There was a lot of crossover between GITS and fans of The Matrix.

Actually I found much more overlap between the matrix and Aeon Flux

>hurr let's just telegraph the purpose of her actions

I've only watched the very first GitS. Are you saying they redo this exact same scene every series? That's a running gag at that point.

Pretty much. I've seen it redone in Stand Alone Complex, I think Arise has a moment, the remake of course.

...

I didn't even know it was an F9000. I knew some of the grenades though. Felt good about that.

btw I meant a F2000

haha, no you didn't.

The F2000 is a military grade bullpup rifle with literally no use against cyborg parts, at the very most, it would probably dent the flesh.

>tfw SAC has been out on Bluray in Japan for almost a decade now

I love the show, but I'm not paying hundreds for these fuckers.

most underused character

he doesn't need to be used more, he's just "the computers guy"

Nah bro he was essential with the nuclear bullshit at the end of Second Gig.

The most underused is the retarded fat guy with robot glasses. He barely says anything, ever.

Did you just copy parts of the topic I made a few days ago?

Third guy from the left, big stupid fella. Even the asshole on the far left got an episode about him. He likes to bang chicks.

Can you say ANYTHING about our oversized, lovable mental gimp?

Fun Fact: The majority of SAC's english voice actors were used for characters in the Xenosaga games. Motoko's english va is also a voice option for female Cross in Xenoblade X

which voice option?

One of the guys who worked on the Arise series also worked on the concept art for the Skells.

Fun game though, so who cares?

This wasn't the only game on the Playstation that had Ghost in the Shell in it. The game also had Judge Dredd and Slaine the Horned God in it

The Mature one

thanks, time to replay it and RP as the Major.

GitS style Deus Ex anime when?

Holy shit, is the Major kawaii in Arise?

The best I can make my mim look like the Major. Remember, you can now use hacks to make your tits larger

youtube.com/watch?v=yJo3jdtcjWE

yeah she's milfy, but in the single mother way.

The IG animation version has her more like a super model.

>major eating
why

...

It's a good fucking game, what sort of fag do you have to be that you're upset because you aren't playing as an anime girl?

>Arise Motoko
>milfy
What?

neat

shame it's based off the paul dies route and not the "hide in closet while Super Paul single-handedly murders an entire unatco platoon" route

...

how long did she have the full cyborg body for in Arise?

I guess it would feel very alien at first if you just suddenly didn't have to eat anymore.
It's one of the most basic human instincts, but than again I'm probably giving Arise more credit for this than it deserves, unless that is actually adressed at some point in Arise.

that works, especially with all the different outfit options.
Looks more like the Major than the Arise version does.

Wait, is Arise a full re-imagining of GitS? I thought it was generally the same as SAC and the two movies only taking place before all that.

I made a Destiny character that looked sufficiently like the Major.

the movies and SAC are not connected and I don't know if Arise is officially canon to either of these.

>Calling the Fuchikoma a Tachikoma

>gameplay literally on the box
if you knew what GitS was you knew what you were getting into and it was fucking great. If you didnt know then it didnt really matter. it was just animu character art.
S rank everything and get every fmv of delicious motoko.

nigger this was before the matrix.

>the movies and SAC are not connected
The entire character arc of Motoko in 2nd Gig centered around her becoming despondent enough and learning enough about full virtualization to actually do it in the movie. They are in the same continuity.

That is a plot point repeated in every GiTS continuity, except maybe Arise as I haven't watched it.

This is probably the best thread to ask this.
Has anyone played the PS4 Psycho Pass game?
If so, is it good?

>ywn be the old neckbeaded IT specialist dealing in linux, videogame consoles, and pre 2030 data technologies like the VHS.

Stand Alone Complex is a social commentary on things like sex, intrapersonal relationships and fundamental causes of strife.

The movies are hardboiled cyberpunk novels.

>>ywn

Oh fuck off, you reddit faggot.

You play as a rookie, not the robot.

fuck off with making this thread again idiot.

>user, can you help me getting this off?

...

>Nexon butchering another IP
Why are all the maps so small? Fuck.

>every GitS continuity
There is only one GitS anime continuity, not considering Arise.

i feel ya brother. I hope the proto type one is a decent size.. i haven't been able to get a match for it yet...

Does showing cleavage have any practical benefit? Ventilation perhaps?

Arise fucking blows

You have to take your jacket off first, you dumb toaster.

Sometimes you distract yourself and have to go fap, giving the enemy team an advantage for a few minutes.

>tfw cybernetic parts make it possible to change the viscosity of your vagina at will

That one new terminal conquest map is pretty good, but terminal conquest maps should be big by default anyway. Also Port is like a shittier version of Final Destination and I fail to see why it gets picked so often. Fun to shotgun around in, but not much else.

Also, did they nerf SMG's a while back? I used to rape face with one, but I feel like it got nerfed to hell and back as of late. Didn't check older notes either.

...

I've been meaning to go back to that. Have they fixed the netcode?

jesus christ what did they do to my GITS?

if you have dermal camo then yes. if your body is cyber then it doesnt really matter much anyways

did anyone read the manga

It's literally all over the place. This is the best I've seen it since.

no. first you take off your pants then jackit

Why don't they have more than one chick operative?

Thermodynamics doesn't stop applying after cyberization.

There's a handful in the oroginal Masamune manga. They're never really in the field though.

It stops applying when it's cybermancy

You aren't bleeding blood. Losing parts of your body is like losing parts of your car, if the engine is intact, along with several other parts of the vehicle (tires, frame, etc) you're not really going to worry about getting shot in the chest too much.

still pretty aweful

Thermodynamics doesn't stop applying without cleavage either
neither does my penis.

>want her to take off the best part of her outfit
REE

please tell me this is ingame

i arise she was not even born yet when her body was so badly injured that they had to extract her brain from the womb of her dead mother. thats why she doubts that she even was human at one time.

I didn't mind the shooting or the small maps (as few as they are), personally. But the netcode and how long it takes to freely unlock the characters were what caused me to stop.

I'm still pissed fucking Nexon used generic AR clones for the GITS FPS. Not a Seburo to be found.

I did.

Still prefer S.A.C. though.

We need more Masamune females in vidya.

Arise Motoko doesn't look milfy at all, what are you talking about?

my cock just went super critical... its going nuclear! aarrhhg

Scarlot Johansen needs bigger hair to play Motoko.

I like most iterations of them.

I haven't seen innocence yet, so I'm still wondering what that's like. Stand Alone Complex is pretty good for learning about sexuality and the perfunctory sexual urges. The movies are just plain biblical, cyberpunk love letters that almost define the genre entirely.

I just watched the 1995 movie for the first time last night, what should I watch next in the series??

This looks like a mom to me.

I spent a solid minute trying to figure out if there was some sort of brand ripoff with that label. I was seriously racking my brain to figure out what the fuck "Forcyborg" could be because of that shitty letter spacing. I was mentally pronouncing it "Forsee Borg."
Christ. This is why I'm not a scientist.

I got the 2 operative pack while it was on sale for 5$ (was like the 20$ package). Idk they say they're making progress and actively working on it. so they say.

yes, but i want to say it was a limited offer. I don't buy skins so idk.

k.

Was a limited skin IIRC.

SAC.

You have an itty bitty mom.

When I was 8 I had a demo disc with the intro movie on it. When I was that young I thought she was tearing her top off at the end.
Years later I watch it again and she's just tearing the cable off. Extreme disappointment.

there is no letter spacing in japanese, they use no letter spacing in english

>that waist
good lord

...

the looks like longcat

longmotoko is long

But that's a fanart.

Arise Motoko looks more like an older teenager/in her early 20s.

totally.
user has a very twisted concept of milf

You're allowed to have that fanfiction so long as you ignore the chronology, but it's best not to confuse others by stating it as fact. As far as official canon goes, there's three:
GitS, Innocence
SAC, 2nd gig, Solid State Society
Arise, The New Movie

She looks younger than that, give her some credit.

Also, milf doesn't mean old.

You aren't playing devil's advocate very well.

I watched the new show without reading or hearing anything about it

There are some pacing changes, but it really isn't much different from regular gits

that webm in particular I see absolutely nothing wrong with

>Also, milf doesn't mean old.

yeah, show me a teenager milf.


and no sand niggers please, those are already married before they even cut the umbilical cord

That's a 4/10 shitpost.

Where are you even getting the idea that SAC and GitS are separate? Everything matches up. They made a point of the 2nd Gig ending where GitS picks up.

...

they will never unnastan

wat you sayan?

Why can't she always look like that?
Literal the perfect outfit and everything.

There is the very minor detail that GitS takes place three years earlier than 2nd GIG. Any attempt to fit them together requires rewriting the timeline, which is fine, but still makes it non-canon.

I guess that's why I'm not a linguist, either.

Probably because she does a lot more police work later on in the series, and having your perps gawk at you before you knock them out could make your life a lot easier.

hnnng

How did you do that?

She looks a lot like Re-l from Ergo Proxy.
Probably because of the forehead space.

>dat tight strap

Do what? Confuse the label for some brand parody? I think it's because I saw the image with Ishikawa here and thought it was a portmanteau or something, like with the ConEx box he's holding.

No, I understood the letter spacing, I just don't see how you outed yourself two professions most people don't have to go to school for.

...

SAC>2nd Gig>Movie>Innocence>Manga>Arise.

Because I want to make her a proud mother.

Yes.

Why are you posting trash Arise?

Ghost in the Shell in the Shell?

Are these from the new movie? Or just Arise?

It's just the movie.

Who dis

I watched the movie. I liked it, but it didn't have as much fighting as I thought it would.
Is the 2nd movie worth watching? And should I watch both SAC?
I heard Arise isn't worth it. Are the Mangas worth reading? Are there multiple types of them too like the shows?

>there will never be a deus ex plus SWAT 4 Ghost in the Shell game
It hurts to live.

Mariel Cartwright

I was just thinking the same thing.

Arise is shit
SAC is almost as good as the movie(has more action if you need that kinda thing)
SAC's movies are pretty good
Sequel to the movie is mediocre

First orgasm, swear to longcat.

I thought there was just one SAC movie.

Is the Manga worth reading? And do I watch the SAC movie after I watch both 1st and 2nd gig?

It's good, it has some miserable sycohantries but nothing too bubbly to keep you from enjoying the core plot.

Fuck this looks bad, even SAC pulled it off. Fuck everything to do with Arise, people just wanted a job and they picked something that will sell no matter how bad they fuck up / get lazy.

Can you tell me which parts look bad, I want to compare for a philological reason.

...

this thanks

This kind of stuff is so good. I wish someone would hack my brain and kiss me like that.

Yeah, just one original movie. There's also two recap movies, which may have been what he was referring to.

It's Ghost in the Shell it's not like the bar is set really high. If it were Akira or something maybe we would have a meltdown, but the room for error is much larger in this case.

Artist?

For me: 2nd Gig > Sac > SSS > Injocence > GITS > The New Movie > Arise

That's a good thing, imagine if they made a whole movie with Chewbacca or han solo, shit would get old pretty quickly.
Some characters are good in small doses

Is it good? Is it worth 12 bucks?

SHE
HAS
NO
ANUS

Can somebody explain that episode where the billionaire who have made a money making program died and they infiltrated his mansion?

At the end the family computer in Togusa's house turns on automatically and buys stocks of some cybernetic company.
Was that supposed to be a hack or did Togusa downloaded the program in the mansion and decided to run it for himself?

...

Who would pick any other character besides her?

She has armpits, everything else is secondary

That's a not so subtle way to save money on animation

...

Hack.

It's been on my list for a very long time.

Which subs should I get?

THAT'S BULLSHIT

Why?

>not watching the dub

Quoting the scene of that image

...

Believe it or not, women can use sex appeal to manipulate men, even in this age where some have form groups with the sole purpose of distancing themselves away from that kind of thing. There are even historical women who have shown their tits just to distract men long enough to get the upper hand in battle e.g Anne Bonny.

Oh.

Looks like she has 3 tits.

I think the implication was the money maker's AI was rewarding Togusa for paying his respects to its dead creator.

Glad I'm not the only one who thought that

I love 80's/90's anime puffy shoulder pad thingies
It's why mgs1 snake's sneaking suit is still my favorite

Is this game worth playing?

...

can any body post a link to the cinematic trailer which shows Motoko body getting created?

I can´t find it anywhere

Innocence is Oshii as fuck (read: slow, lots of monologues and slow scenery), but if you're into that it's great. And at the same time, the Batou & Togusa duo begin the center of the film gives it much more of a human feeling than the first film

what´s that?
a new show?
what is it called?

I like how the new live action movie is shaping up, visually and aesthetically, and I'm glad major is not played by an Asian actress

...

Nanomachines?

Nah

Doesn't she explicitly say at one point she chooses to look the way she does in order to fuck with people?

Good luck enjoys a FPS game on the PSP

Isn't that the intro for the animated film?

Just the 1st GiG SAC Poster from Japan.

Does video clips of SAC wrapped around a really fucking mediocre F2P team based shooter sound good to you?

If you feel like playing a GiTS themed call of duty clone with a fairly neat twist on the perk system, give it a go. Just don't expect another Neotokyo like I was retardedly hoping for

Nope because it's technically nsfw since they show bare breasts with nipples. Just google Ghost in the Shell (Kokaku kidotai) - (1995) - (Mamoru Oshii) / Kenji Kawai

what's it for

WHAT'S IT FOR

...

The casting of Johansson in the lead role caused accusations of whitewashing, especially from English fans of the original Japanese franchise.

To stab people in the back of the head when hitting them with a gun.

It's for being 'Tacticool' dude.

>shirow flat out tells people in vol2 of the manga that he knows not making it a direct continuation of vol1 and changing major's character a bit will piss people off but he doesnt care

Absolute.

...

...

I saw a video a while back of an Asian dude asking japs about it and they didn't give a fuck she was white, maybe it's just US that freaks out about this, US born Asians would probably freak out though

...

no
the one I mean was may more modern. it had really good look cgi

but the idea is the same. I shot Motokos body getting made in a tub. starting with a robotic skeleton and ending with her getting skin

...

n Japan, fans of the manga were surprised that the casting caused controversy with many already assuming that the Hollywood production would choose a white actress in the lead role.[27] Sam Yoshiba, director of the international business division at Kodansha's Tokyo headquarters (the company which holds the rights to the series and its characters) said, "Looking at her career so far, I think Scarlett Johansson is well cast. She has the cyberpunk feel. And we never imagined it would be a Japanese actress in the first place... This is a chance for a Japanese property to be seen around the world."

there was a (shitty) rerelease of that film with cg over some scenes, maybe that's what you're thinking of?

Watch the dub nigga. It's honestly one of the best dubs I've heard/watched

It's amazing what they can do with cybernetic technology.

>implying it wasn't just more CIA memetry

>that moe togusa
best boy

Probably the abomination that is gits 2.0

...

Watch the dub. Considered one of the best.

I like the visuals so far too at least the 30 seconds they showed but god damn who the fuck is that director?
Did Hollywood just pull him out of a drawer and put him on this project? He better not fuck it up.

...

nah. the cgi was really good

so weird that I can´t find it.
it also had small nudity but was on youtube

>1995 movie
>cold, emotionless expression

>modern anime
>I'm going to become invisible, watcher-chan :D Please love me :3

shit nigga it's right here

That's how blockbusters work, the studio wants someone new so they can pay them less and not risk pushback when they meddle with the film to try and make it more marketable

Johansson is a shitty actor that shouldn't be given any roles in the first place.
This going the way of "video games movies" where it turns into pure garbage.

that one isn´t it either. I said cgi

as in 3d animated. but the quality was really high

I hate mopey movie mokoto

Floofy manga mokoto is best mokoto

...

Does no one remember how he was one of the few returning characters in the Innocence movie?

dat fluffy 80s anime hair

Maybe he means the "ghost in the shell intro vfx remake" video cause there's very little CGI animated footage of in those links posted

>Teddy

What a coincidence!

Kek

It's a front grip, like on this Beretta M93R. Helps with accuracy during automatic fire.

...

Well, I for one will definitely stay clear of it. I really liked SAC and the second Gits movie.

Two left hands

Whatever.

You are seeing the thumb from across the palm, it's a right hand, just the dark glove makes it look like it's on the wrong side.

Are you stupid? Tachikoma is just a vehicle in the game. Motoko is driving it at all times throughout the game.

...

...

...

the thumbs in the right place but god damn thats a monster pinky

Nah, look at her fingers. Her entire hand is backwards.

Motoko isn't even a woman so who cares ?

the story never proved it

You play as the rookie in a fuchikoma, not Motoko.

...

No it's not, or her thumb would be the size of a pea, you are just seeing the tip of it as the rest of it is obscured behind her hand.

She's a woman, the sources saying she was once a man was a mistranslation of Shirow saying that she's a masculine character

Who the fuck cares. The game is a very tight shooter with a great gimmick, which is all that matters. If you just want to jerk it to robot women, well, you gotta beat all missions in a row without losing once or quitting the game then.

>Zelda in the title
>you play as Link

Can someone explain this blatant false advertising? I have to at least commend them for fooling so many people into thinking you will play as the princess back then. This is some high tier misleading right there which encourages a girl gamer like me into buying your game. They've done an excellent job.

I can't fucking wait for Cyberpunk 2077 and role play as Motoko.

The Hollywood version will be even worse.

>HAY, REMEMBER THIS FROM THE 1995 MOVIE
At least SAC had some creativity and class when it borrowed moments.

>Motoko isn't even a woman

What the fuck are you talking about? Motoko Kusanagi IS enlisted within a 'government agency' (Section 9). She would have to disclose access to her personal information which would include her medical history (D.O.B, DNA/Blood Samples, Cybernetic Implants/Upgrades) would reveal that Motoko is a woman.

Willl you be able to create a character? kinda like the actual game?
They gotta have some sort of jacket/one piece swimsuit and purple color with short hair option when creating a character or Styrofoam looking chest armor with h vr looking head sets for the eyes, you can't have a cyberpunk piece of media and not give a nod to stuff like gits and blade runner.

>Appleseed will never be finished or have a good adaption
Kill me.

...

Some old mistranslated interview had either Oshii or Shirow talk about how Motoko isn't really that girly, ie she's masculine. Bad translation turned that into "she's a man", and we've had this crap for 20 years.

don't forget the shoulderpads

when was the last time a cyberpunk game did not have references to GitS in it?
They will probably have that shit in 2077 unless it's a fixed protag.

The whole movie deals with her questioning if she's even human and the only thing that makes her human is because everyone tells her/treats like she's human but in reality she isn't.
Maybe she's not a woman, well not anymore.

YES
Big
Puffy
Shoulder pads

>Bad translation turned that into "she's a man", and we've had this crap for 20 years

Come on it's 2016.

>this hasn't been posted yet

youtube.com/watch?v=x0UBycyZb6w

Can you give me sauce on that my friend? Also the GitS manga is way better than any of the movies & series in my oppinion. While the first movie is one of my favorite anime, both visually and aesthetically a masterwork,
it kind of lacks the irony and lightweight humor of the original manga. The movies and series are also heavily infested by Oshii's "deep" philosophys.
Also why is there no fucking adaption of Man-Machine Interface, it's like it's made to be adapted into an anime.

did it always look this shitty or did someone add a smoothing filter to it? This is tweening to levels that not even Production IG would resort to.

What are you on about? It looks amazing.

Well she went full frontal in under the skin which is pretty much gits with aliens instead of robots, so maybe an ass shot and some side nipple shot under careful lighting since this is not an artsy film, would be col if they made her bottomless like the movie about show her full chest as well.
Under the skin even moves super slow like the gits film and barely anyone talks init.

i wanna fug motoko

We all do, mate.

Your dick would probably be grinded to a pulp in her robot vagina or something.
Still worth it.

It's definitely been filtered, reminds me of those shitty BD encodes with all the grain taken out.

There's a weird digital filter applied to it adding frames where there weren't any.

>mfw people think interpolated 60fps looks good or even acceptable at all

I personally hope there will be character customization (at least gender and maybe hair color/style, don't care about face cause CDProject Red always have god tier females).

We know for a fact that clothing customization will be there ala Witcher 3. And if dialog choices that witcher 3 had are any indication we will be able to differentiate our character (from Zero-shit-given to save as many as possible).

We also know we can play 1st and 3rd person (deus ex style). So all that is left is that we get cool quest/missions that are inspired or make reference to other famous (as in good) cyberpunk media.

Why the fuck not? What the fuck are you event alking about, you retard?

Her body's pretty interchangeable, but it's kind of silly to cast a jew as a japanese nationalist.

But worst of all is that scarjo is:
1. Ugly as fuck
2. Cannot act her way out of a paper bag

This is amazing, that concert was recorded 2007, and it sounds EXACTLY like the first time they performed these pieces for the movie in 1995

Thats.. that was just beautiful, im kinda tearing up , seeing the innocence final showdown part being performed on stage is something quite amazing

a modern day big budget movie can't go 1 minute without someone talking.
Even if it's an action scene they have to cut to some random guys screaming or making a bad one liner every couple of seconds.

I liked that this game had the character's more fun loving incarnations from the manga.

Not that I don't love the movies and SAC.

I've only ever watched SAC and 2nd GIG. How many movies are there and are they before or after SAC? Also, is Arise worth watching? I avoided it because it looked cheaply made, but that was only my opinion.

I need something good to watch.

First movie is a masterpiece of visuals and aesthetics. Second is worth watching too, be aware that the movies are on a different timeline.

Arise ends with it.

just watch the 1995 film and its sequel, they're not in canon with the tv series or the manga. arise is technical a prequel to the films but it's mediocre at best

tbqh, if we're speaking purely visually, i think patlabor 2 was largely oshii taking the same visual language as the first gits but executing better on it.

>arise is technical a prequel to the films but it's mediocre at best
Yeah I just watched it to get a GitS fix but that's about it. The Major was just plain boring in that one.

...

MUSCLE

Wasn't there a ghost in the shell advert on the billboard syndicate ps1 game

Can someone confirm this?

>manga Major is a rowdy tomboy

>movie Major is an introspective, cold Rei type

>anime Major is a cool ara-ara

WHICH ONE IS TRUTH

At some point Batou or someone berates her for constantly getting supermodel bods, instead of something more suitable for their kinda work, but she doesn't really say anything about it, just scoffs it off like she does with most of Batou's off-color humor, when she doesn't make him punch himself in the face.

>a game's cover doesn't represent's the gameplay
oh shit senpai, that's surely some extreme jewery that doesn't happen with the vast majority of videogame covers
maybe if there was a way to check actual gameplay screenshots on the back of the box

What is Arise major?

Also fun how 2 of those is played by the same actress yet entirely differently.

he probably refers to this scene
youtube.com/watch?v=cAPDFwHjUf8

what the fuck is this shit???

What next? Akira with Tetsuo being a girl and getting inflation??

All are great.

deformed moe blop

for me shes the ara ara tomboy rei type. its what makes an interesting faceted character

This dub is so shit. All these actors are better than this, yet they are giving phonebook reads.

>deformed moe blop
say that to my face

Hurrrrr

interesting fact

...

...

>Motoko fucks women because Shirow didn't want to draw some dude's ass
Gets me every time

well, she looks like Scarlet in there

Which is a blatant fucking lie, or he changed his mind HARD if you look at the shit he draws now which is full of cock and man-ass

"u wot m8?"

Yes, there's a bunch of them in Syndicate Wars.

It's the Unity 8 wrapper of video games.

...

The thing that annoys me about the casting is that she is too old.

what is the GitS of video games?

To be fair that was almost 30 years ago

Odd that they would create a new timeline but then in season 2 make such effort to lead into the original movie.

>SAC>2nd Gig
Can't agree with you there.

Well they didn't really lead into the original movie since they followed up on 2nd GIG's ending with SSS.

Why does your avatar have a gun?

Nah, he's fine the way he is. That's how all computer guys are. They keep shit running and do things in the background. And nobody knows they're around until they need them.

Any pretentious shit Kojima cooks up.

>Borma
>Stupid

Nigga can defuse a nuke, he's not retarded. Just the strong and silent type. Why would Section 9 even hire a retard?

Definitely underused though.

Cool ara-ara becomes intropsective, cold Rei after she links minds with Hideo Kuze.

It assumed SSS takes place after GitS since the Major is already living remotely.

>cover has a soldier dude walking
>you play as a collection of floating guns

SOMBODY SPLAIN DIS SHIT HERE

rowdy tomboy gets recruited by Blops, solves her personal issues and becomes cool arara, several years later she begins to feel dissatisfied, becomes introspective and cold

Am I the only one who ever found Makoto attractive, but not in a sexual way? It's weird, don't know how to explain it.

Lucky for you i'm writtings a paper on this subject, after analizing data collected from 1000 individuals from different social and ethnic groups i've reached the conclusion that nigga you gay.

Also she isn't part of Section 9 anymore by SSS.

no, she just controls bodies remotley like she did with the waitress in the first season to lay low.
Though she can controll two bodies at once and the pupeteer in SSS seems to be controlled by her subconscious as he is seen walking into her hideout at one point.

I only recently noticed that there are actually 2 different Motoko's at the end of the original GitS, because the medical equipment next to her flips sides between shots and you can still hear the sound they make after she leaves Batou.
youtube.com/watch?v=Y8fuP8VFm_I
no idea what exactly they mean by this though.

Titties.

She left Section 9 at the end of 2nd gig.

That's not a skill she had in SAC or 2nd Gig. That's a skill after she became virtualized and left Section 9. It all fits together.

No she didn't. 2nd Gig ended with them all in new uniforms more reminiscent of what what they wore in GitS. When was the last time you watched 2nd Gig?

What? She uses puppet bodies throughout SAC.
She says to the rest of the team to go on without her and they follow up on that in SSS with Batou questioning why she suddenly left, which makes no sense if the movie occurred in between.

these are always good threads.
good job actually discussing something without resorting to shitposting, I'm almost proud of you faggots.

Will there ever come something good out of this franchise again,
or will the live action movie be the final nail in its coffin?

there can always be
GitS 3nd GiG

...

The patch that added them had a lot of fans rejoicing.

And a lot of complaints that the C30 is overpowered.

...

There were a lot of complaints that the SR is too weak.

>She says to the rest of the team to go on without her and they follow up on that in SSS with Batou questioning why she suddenly left, which makes no sense if the movie occurred in between.
They were literally prepping for a mission. I don't remember anything about Batou informing the audience that she was sitting with them in the same uniform for no reason and that she had actually left Section 9.

>What? She uses puppet bodies throughout SAC.
She never uses two bodies at the same time, let alone three.

I rarely see anyone using the LMG.

...

>Not a Seburo to be found.

But the shitty pistol you start with is one.

...

...

...

That is the point at which she leaves. Stop trying to force separate continuities together.

...

...

>tfw female (male) with either bubble, or something between bubble and donk
>tfw wish I could be hourglass naturally

kill me

...

>That is the point at which she leaves.
She is in fucking body armor. She is prepping to go along on a mission. They never stated that she leaves.

>tfw male with donk
>all my gal pals admit to being jealous of it and a few insist that I crossdress whenever I go to one of their houseparties

they added them in a while back

...

...

Nice, I'm proud of you senpai.

I don't get all the hate for her characterisation in Arise, she's goofy as fuck in the manga too

...

Made my penis arise

SAC babbies like me I guess.

watch the movie. It had some explanation I don't remember.

Cyborgs have to eat.

Her entire body (save from some neurons) is cybernetic. She does not have an anus, or a reproductive system for that matter. Maybe she only has complex machinery inside her and that's it ? No stomach, nor any guts then.

bds of good shows are frequently priced to retarded levels in japan, i've looked into importing a few series' bds but they're all way too expensive to even consider

well, she drinks beer.

What portion of vocal gits fans do you think have read the manga

youtube.com/watch?v=OwdlqquJDK4

How were they able to make a music video with GiTS footage?

It's not like they have a problem animating it. This is the same team that animated SAC.

I liked that shot. Everything was fluid.

You're confusing the early 2000s with the mid 90s.

>mfw seeing that music video on TV as a kid before I even knew what Ghost in the Shell was

hourglass please

...

...

...

...

Cyborg bodies have to eat. They eat tofu like bricks that are more efficient at providing the nutrients it needs.

>First play through of dude sex
>Place a teargas mine in front of the door

...

>there will never be a Section 9 game where you play each member at different sections

...

...

Major is literally made for semen.

...

Manga Motoko moaning about her period. How does that work in a cyborg body?

...

...

She did it only to get attention.

...

...

Does anyone remember that he owns a pachinko shop full of old men playing the games in VR? Then when Sec9 needed more computing resources he pulls the processing power from the old geezers cyber brains while they're playing pachinko?

One of the reasons why i don't get the 1995 movie, the AI wanted to be able to reproduce, and in order to do that it wanted to fuse with Motoko, but Motoko can't reproduce since her body is entirely cybernetic, and then the movie simply ends.

Why does her sneaking suit have bright red light up heels?

I love Ghost in the Shell, but I'm never fucking watching Arise.

...

...

Thanks for the spoilers.

She looks weird as fuck in the game

...

After watching seasons 1 and 2 what should I watch next?

What is even happening here?

...

GiTS Hollywood is PG-13. So no. The nudity of that scene won't happen.

it's the new anime they're producing with a small studio tbr when the Hollywood movie comes out.

...

it's not like an AI can fuck anything anyways.
He wanted them to brainfuck and fuse their consciousness into a different being because evolution.
He was probably scared of getting cyber cancer by just making identical copies of himself.

>PG-13

Are you fucking kidding me? This has to be a joke.

...

Is arise and the manga worth reading/watching?

MITE AS WELL BE GAY 4 DICKS

>Is arise and the manga worth reading/watching?

No.

anyone got that zone flash?

No. The plot is bad, and the animation is shit with large amounts of quality

...

...

Shame there's no good motoko porn.

>Shame there's no good motoko porn.

I think that's deliberate.

...

She's got a more Asian feel to her model than strictly a white person. Also, the issue is more that they rolled with ScarJo when there were other actors that fit the look and feel of the character better--and were just as competent an actor as her.

Also, all that said, Motoko is a busty character. She's got serious assets packing up front. Six to eight years ago, ScarJo would have been a more ideal cast because she had the rack to fit the character. Since she got a breast reduction, there goes that aspect of her model. Further, she isn't very attractive now. It's true that a many people do think she's hot and all that, but for a lot of people; she just doesn't cut it.

Finally, her acting itself is meh. She's often typecasted into femme fatale roles--but her execution is so-so. Which is a legitimate worry for this film, considering the significance and history of Motoko's character ranging from the original manga all the way to SAC.

Original > 2nd GIG > SAC >>>>>>>> that shit

...

Nope. It's PG-13.

no
dont torture yourself like that

...

Better get used to it fag. Every movie from now on is going to be PG-13 or 10 because that gives you wider audience and therefore more money. Soon they are gonna adapt the japanese style of having nudity and higher rating stuff on bluray versions

...

>Shirow still only draws oily noodlegirls getting penetrated by horsecocks with ugly CGI models

FUCK YOU EARTH AND YOUR FUCKING EARTQUAKES

>Laughing Man face for unavailable characters
Gotta admit that's pretty neat

yeah, I liked how cold and emotionless he/she looked in the movie.

he/she had a complete body prostetic. he/she was technically more machine than human, that's the whole point of the movie.

I'm expecting the whole movie to be subpar, but when it comes to the Major's design, wasn't it stated that her cyber-body design is based off of a popular, common design in the past? I'd imagine she would look somewhat non-asian, or at least not have an easily identifiable race due to being a full-prosthetic cyborg.

What was the word for that? "Mukokuseki"?

...

That scene is probably the manga equivalent of Episode 22 of Stand Alone Complex 1st Gig ("C: Corporate Graft – SCANDAL") where the doctor paralyses Motoko during the body swap and is going to kill her but the Laughing Man rescues her

They've been doing that for a while already. It was very noticeable a few years back when a a bunch of shitty teen movies would release with an "unrated" edition.

...

Lesbians can't be made for semen.

Incorrect. lesbians are made to lose to the cock

Personally, I think the manga is a mess, but I do like the more light-hearted parts of it.

It's just some SAC porn with the prime minister hacking and fucking Motoko.

>Lesbians

Motoko is a bisexual.

2>6>1>7>4But for some reason I thought Arise Motoko should be shorter.

...

I remember her having a boyfriend and several girlfriends in the manga.

The virtual boat orgy comes to mind. My copy of the manga only has a single page of it, unfortunately.

Show me a scene where she does the nasty with a man.

it sucks because it has some nice little details like that, the fact that the us servers are called the American Empire from SAC, and they got most of the voice actors from the show to do the roles, but then the game is just f2p garbage

see

shadowrun

No, post it. I actually want to see it... for reasons.

The biggest problem it has is that it's just some F2P Counter-strike/COD clone.

I'd love to see a GitS game in the style of Deus Ex someday.

Manga doesn't show her fucking him, but she is shown getting dressed and leaving the apartment of a Section 1 guy she was sleeping with, IIRC.

...

I'm trying to find the page in my physical copy of the manga. She has a relationship with an official from Section 1.
