I like GITS and if it's on I'll watch it, but it's sorta really bland and unremarkable.
Stop watching dubs of it you gigantic loving retard. Back in the day japanese shows were brought over and dubbed by actual, for real, professional companies. Since the late 90s that has not been the case, it's nothing but super-mega-cheap companies doing both the translations and the dubs (with no director at all directing the voice acting) so that it's pretty much always a disaster. To say it changes the tone of the show is an understatement. They just gently caress everything up and don't give a poo poo because they already know no one else will give a poo poo.

Like, ep. 24 of the first season is goddamn magnificent (you can actually show the LMF fansub version to someone who has never seen any of GITS SAC and they'll both get it and won't have anything ruined by spoilers). I shudder to think how awful they translated that one.

I didn't really find the setting compelling and there weren't any really standout cool action scenes, I'm sorry, I doubt a bad dub would've changed that. The difference in subbed or dubbed anime doesn't really make a difference to me because even if they change the story, I'm still watching it primarily for the animation and kickin' radical action scenes. GITS basically took a bunch of cool concepts, cyborgs and spider tank dudes, and made them into a boring detective story. Like, I know that's how a lot of classic sci-fi is, but I really just wanted something futuristic and action-packed. I still respect it as a 'me, though, as I do all anime.

All of GITS is 50% cyberpunk and 50% police drama (with politics thrown into the mix). If you don't like that, you definitely won't ever like GITS.

It's because her CYBORG SKIN is where the thermoptic camo is installed. She can't become invisible while wearing anything. Obviously it started as one of those "fan service" things, but it also makes plenty of sense technically, and plays into the whole theme where she doesn't care about her body or about people seeing it -- because it's not really her body,

It's just straight up fan service. The thermoptic camo doesn't have to be on the skin. She puts a thermoptic veil over her face... why not just have that integrated into her clothes? I'm sure this is where the director was kicked aside and the suits went "yo, we need this bitch to get naked, its gonna help us sell more copies to all the lonely nerds that will buy this product". The "she doesn't care about her body" theme could've been expressed in much better ways.

Prettz posted:


Now that's just stupid. I'm probably the very biggest GITS fanboy on the forums and I recognize that it's an awful movie. Massive potential, massive premise, and they just peed it all down their leg with bad directing and a joke of a budget.

Pretty much as with all things GITS, it has action scenes that are phenomenal, totally unmatched, but so short that they're over practically as soon as they began. Same thing with the TV show. GITS has some of the best action scenes ever... and then all of a sudden as soon as they're really kicking into high gear, they end. Budget, usually.

I mean, I guess, really though its all subjective. The actions scenes are short, so what? The more action a movie has doesn't make it better. Are you a Michael Bay fan by chance? I personally can't find many faults from the movie for what I expect from a movie. I've watched it many times and I haven't really progressed into "wow this movie isnt as good as I thought it was", I guess we all have different tastes. I love the pacing, sounnd, character designs, character development, plot, art, atmosphere, everything about the movie. Except the fan service.

Prettz posted:


Eh, you did watch the Japanese language version of it right? This is the 2000s: always assume that the dub they bring over is not just done by total amateurs, but is also incorrect. She seemed plenty tomboy to me, just as much as in the movie, which is why I love 'er.

You know, maybe I did watch the dub. Or maybe I saw a bad sub. I can't remember. Maybe I'll give the show another shot someday.

motoko in gits is 31 years old according to the internet

anime sexualizing children and anime sexualizing adults is distinct. even in kill la kill the characters are pretty much adults. it (killer kill) is gross because it's comically misogynistic, not because it's pedophilic. something like gits or lupin 3 (which also has a big cartoon titty character that's like 35) is pretty tame all things considered

the pedo anime doesn't really get discussed around here, even in adtrw zorak shuts it down after enough people complain. although some pretty sketchy poo poo can fly there if zorak isn't pressured enough. lol zorak's terrible

The pedophilia is completely incidental. Why can't you guys seem to understand this? If you can just look past all the incidental pedophilia I think you'll find a very fulfilling work of art.
