Ghost in the shell 2

i dl and watched it, very good animation, fills in many missing gas from the old one but still some gaps in the story arnt completely filled

I wont spoil it 4 u ppl

Anyway it has the best visuals as well as the sound quality

Anime like this wipes the crap other B-grade anime series off the table

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is probably a few levels better than the two GitS movies, by virtue of the fact that it has 26 episodes to display mindblowing visuals AND a plot simultaneously, while the two movies were a little short on the story department.

I've jsut started watching ah my godness...is there going to be more than 5 epies?

 

[Lhyviathan]

Nope...

If memory serves, it's a 5 episode OVA.

Chobits was written by CLAMP - all female.

but chobits was so perverted ... how can that be ???

 

[funniboi]

ah! my goddess is an 5 ep ova / movie

i think this tv series will go on longer tho,

but the ova itself wasn't all that great, i didn't like it all that much...


(maybe because i had a shit quality version of it 1.5years ago)

 

[funniboi]

btw, can anyone guess what anime my sig is from ?




none other then ... KENSHIN

heh,

 

[Lhyviathan]

but chobits was so perverted ... how can that be ???

Chobits is less than 1% as perverted as Oruchuban Ebichu...

P.S. Oruchuban Ebichu was created by a female (Itoo Risa), too!

Is there a series for Ninja Scroll, or is it just the one off movie?

 

[Lhyviathan]

Yes, I think there is also a series...

Ninja scroll the TV series was created, dont know what happened to it.

AMG the tv series will follow the manga almost directly, whereas the ova wasnt so strict.

Yes the kenshin 1 and 2 volume ovas are still imho the best anime series to have ever been created.

Rurouni Kenshin: Tsuiokuhen is brilliant.

Rurouni Kenshin: Seisouhen is crap.

And the 95 episode series lies between those two extremes.

Currently watching a 'relaatively new anime...Final Approach which is hilarious must watch!!

 

[illmtl]

I don't have any myself, but my school (my year esp.) has a fully functional anime and manga trade going on.

I love Yami no Matsuei, and Gravitation is pretty good too.

Go the Slanime!

The series follows closer to the manga then the movies, which is why Masamune Shirow (the creator of the original Ghost In The Shell comic, and i think Akira comic) didn't really like the movies because the characters was "killed" and turned into emotionalness characters.

But yeah, there really isn't a plot in the Ghost In The Shell movies, or at least there is a so called "story", which is really not-so-movie like. They are stories that work just as well in episodes. Like in the original, they are supposed to take down a hacker named the Puppetmaster, but they don't go into much about that story, and in number two (SPOILER ALERT), they go after Gainoids or whatever they are called (prostitude robots) and investigate why they go berserk, they don't go into much detail about that...

BECAUSE the Ghost In The Shell movies are just a commentary concerning the relationship between machines and man, and life in general.

But Damn, GITS 2: Innocence is an amazing movie, check out Appleseed too, you'd be amazed by the animation.
