Is there anything essentially Japanese in character about the story or ppl in it?

I saw the animated movie like 20 years ago, so I don't remember it as being culturally Japanese beyond the fact that Japanese ppl made it.

Masamune Shirow once said in an interview that the reason he made Makoto a lesbian was because he did not want to draw man rear end, only lady rear end. He is a porn man deep down at heart.

Actually Dirty Pair should be the next big budget anime.

i wouldnt mind if they ditched the sexbot aesthetic though. it doesnt really add anything and is just a holdover from shirow's manga. as we have already established, shirow is a creep.

A friend tried to get my to watch Ghost in the Shell once, and after about 15 minutes of people talking about isolation and some laughing man I told him it was irredeemably awful.

I for one hope that more anime things get remade by americans because a lot of overall themes and settings in anime are cool like F-14s that turn into battle mechs to fight giant aliens, only the scripts always end up being about defeating the aliens who are actually super evolved descendants of humans with the power of lovely jpop or some other loving nonsense.

Disney’s Roadside Romeo has opened in India and it’s a huge hit. Let me repeat that: It’s a HUGE HIT. According to a Disney exec, “in its first four days it exceeded the entire Indian gross of The Incredibles.”

This means only one thing. The population of India is clearly not ready yet for animated films. It’s understandable, I mean didn’t they just introduce automobiles into the country last year or something. So here’s my proposal: All animation should be immediately removed from the nation of India. I’ve written a letter outlining the plan.

Dear People of India,

As of tomorrow, anything animated–whether CG, stop-motion, Flash or drawn–will be taken off of your airwaves and out of your theaters. Additionally, any DVDs containing animation can be dumped in useless neighboring countries like Pakistan and Bangladesh. Furthermore, a moratorium will be placed on any animation currently being produced in India. Send your animators home. Trust me, nobody wants to see this crap anyways. As part of your cartoon re-education, all children’s toys based on cartoon characters must be traded in within 72 hours for books about Renaissance painting and storytelling how-tos by Robert McKee. As a goodwill gesture, we will also ship you Richard Williams who will conduct his popular Masterclass in India’s 200 largest cities.

We’ll try the plan for two years. Don’t worry, good ideas like this take time. When the fine people of India feel they’re good and ready to respect the animation art form, I will personally send over a print of One Froggy Evening. If you enjoy that more than you did Roadside Romeo, we’ll send you Dumbo the following month. If you still enjoy Roadside Romeo, we’ll take more drastic measures like defrosting Walt and sending him over to help you see the light. Either way you’ll finally be able to see that your enthusiasm for Roadside Romeo was one huge terrible loving mistake. Don’t feel too bad, even animation-savvy countries make mistakes sometimes.

Do we have a deal India? Let me know when you have a moment. We’ll go to In-n-Out afterwards to celebrate.

Sincerely,

Cartoon Brew

Scarlett can't be in GITS unless she gets naked in it. Because for some reason that's how Motoko Kusanagi only uses her camo ability, her outfit has to go first. The original film (and manga possibly) set up a weird establishment for that.
