Probably. They just started releasing some new GitS movies in Japan but I'm pretty convinced most people haven't given a gently caress about GitS since SAC ended.

arise is the latest revival and it has been pretty lousy. actually im surprised they arent basing the movie on those. every other version of gits has been about a cyborg lady who is ridiculously tough and smart dealing with weird future crime. arise dares to ask, what if instead she was kind of dumb and generally incompetent and just kinda randomly flailed her way through the exact same weird future crime scenarios? like goddamn, how many times does the cyber brain hacking expert need to get her cyber brain hacked?

also masamune shirow has focused on drawing greasy horse porn for decades now. dude came up with a great setting but is otherwise terrible in every way unless you like greasy horse porn.

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.

he is openly a porn man because that has been the entirety of his work for decades now. like, good for him i guess? he loves drawing greasy porn and he has made a living from it.

really though i dont particularly care about the casting or any other aspect of this movie. i will probably watch it at some point but i am not emotionally invested in its quality or lack thereof.

arise can go suck a big fat dick, though.

one big successful anime adaptation would lead to a bunch of other anime adaptations. if this tanks then the rest of those projects will go back to limbo.

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.

the big thing is the setting where everyones brain has been cyberized and there are a bunch of full body cyborgs (brains in an otherwise entirely artificial body) running around. the only distinctly japanese parts are how eagerly the japanese adopted the whole transhuman cyborg dealy. the second season of the anime was much more japan-specific, but it isnt like they will use any of that stuff.

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.

wait, the first episode starts with a violent police raid. the show has a lot of talking about isolation and some laughing man, but it obviously doesnt lead off with that stuff. wtf is wrong with your friend if he thinks loads of exposition with no context is gonna grab anyones interest?

They're all white to begin with anyways. Maybe like 1 in 1000 anime characters are drawn to look Asian.

nah, you are just seeing what you expect. the japanese see all those racially ambiguous characters as japanese. honkies see them as white. even if a given character has blond hair and blue eyes, unless they specifically say it is a filthy gaijin you are supposed to assume that they are asian. various neon pigmentations are also considered natural for anime asians. except for se asians of course- they always look like mexicans for some reason.

anime is weird, yo.

they are relying on scarjo to sell it at all. kludging together kuze and the laughing man into one character is an absolutely terrible idea.

God forbid they degrade the artistic integrity of a known horse porn artist and pedophile.

those are characters from the anime, which had no input at all from shirow. the anime is good. shirow is bad.

if you like anime you are a paedophile :(

dont try to excuse your pedophilia by linking it to your love of anime. anime is good, pedophilia is bad, and you should be chemically castrated before you molest again.

sure, you arent a pedophile. you just bring up pedophilia out of nowhere, unbidden. almost as though you have kiddy diddling on the brain.

Why do so many animes draw women with infant faces though? It's pretty disturbing. And you can't tell me Dance in the Vampire Bund wasn't explicitly made for actual pedos.

the simple solution is to not watch stuff targeted toward pedophiles, though obviously xnmm would tell you that is impossible. dudes like him (meaning pedophiles) claim that all anime sexualizes children because they actively seek out media of that kind.

it isnt like im trying to forbid all jokes in this gbs thread about a lovely movie. but xnmm keeps popping in, panting britishly and asking "hey did someone mention pedophilia? no? well can we talk about sexually abusing children anyway?" dude could not be more obvious about his interests. i just dont like pedos, is all!
