2:24 is that the Major in that picture ? Wait let me figure this out, Motoko Kusanagi was modelled after Batou's wife, which explains why he is almost always by the Major's side.
hell isn't about death. Its about meaninglessness and the endless war it causes. When it ends the players are reset and the gunfire starts again. A groundhog day that always ends with your own bloody bowels spilled into your broken hands or a cancer eating your bones with fire. Motoko wanted out and she found the rabbit hole.
If you loved the 1st GiG, you'll go ape over the 2nd one. Character background is covered in some of the episodes and there's some nice twists and turns in the plot. I highly recommend it!
There's a weird episode which I can't exactly remember, but she offers to have sex with this orphan she's picked up on her travels. Anyone remember that? Rather strange
@masterofscotland i member that. the reason why was becaus ethe boy asked er what it felt like to have sex with a cyborg and she retorted. do u want to find out?
I know the episode you're thinking of and she doesn't have sex with him. He's curious if her body is "fully functional" and she jokingly says "wanna find out?"...he replies "nah"
It's when she's abroad trying to track down Hideo Kuza in the 2nd GiG. She ends up saving this kid from getting his arm cut off and then gets roped in to a Triad drug thing (short version).
Watched everything from ghost in the shell love it :) i got all their dvds, big laughing man catcher in the rye fan, the series reminds me of metal gear solid :)
2:24 I've seen that before but i wasnt paying attention when it happened i guess, can someone explain that to me? bc as far as i know, batou and motoko havent got a kid
Thank you for your comments, Metzgermeist. Ghost in The Shell could have been so much better and it's ashame that it never reached the pinnacle of story-telling. Instead it resorts to flashy and glittery imagery whenever it could as a way of drawing viewers into it.
Eh globbo, i'm not so sure... Ghost in the Shell has a pretty sweet storyline with an awful lot of twists and turns
. I do however get rather annoyed at the audience of the series, as most seem to just watch it for the reason of "LOL MOTOKO IS SO HAWT" and they completely ignore the story, i can't find attraction to drawn characters on a screen, so i find them a bit stupid..
It doesn't really have that much flashy and glittery imagery in my honest opinion, out of all...
the episodes most of them go on for 20 minutes or so of talking, going from place to place, and unfolding the plot, and only in the last 10 minutes or so there is action, sometimes alot, sometimes none.
Personally, i find the series rather in-depth, complicated, and most importantly it makes you think.
I was just about to say the same thing about it being a lot of talk and very little action. I think writers and cartoonist--on both sides of the Pacific -- make the same mistake,and that is, they forget the entertainment aspect of it.The most important aspect of them all,as far as I'm concerned.I can understand budgetary constraints and that drawing action sequences can be expensive,but still.
The talk does get annoying sometimes, but i find that the more i watch the series the more i comprehend the plot, and the more it "flows" so to speak, I'd enjoy more action but to me the quality of the action when it happens is better than quantity.
Oh well, that's all I have to say on the subject. I'm not going to get into a debate about the merits or demerits of Japanese anime.If one likes it, then they'll continue to watch, if not then they'll watch something else. Thanks for the chat.
I know what you mean about the story telling. I've only the seen the first season; I kept wishing they'd go back to the Laughing Man storyline. Every episode that had something to do with it was so engaging to me. The one off episodes were ok, but there were too many of them and they just didn't compare in my opinion.
You should look into Ergo Proxy. It starts a little slow, but it definitely worth watching all the way through.
She got the watch the mark the date of her last prosthetic body fitting she had, i believe.. Batou was talking about it in one of the very last episodes of the 1st gig i'm pretty sure.
I watched that part over and over again because it just went from her seemingly dead, to her being back and Batou calling her a bitch, so i had to pick up on it.
Batou called her a bitch because she tricked him as well and made him go through all that BS of thinking she was dead, lol.
@motokokusanagi65: Togusa asked what happened to the Major, and Batou replied something to the fact of "oh shes a bitch", what he meant by that is she was a bitch for tricking him into thinking she was dead. (Because she used her remote body to trick them into thinking it was the real her that got blasted so she could lay low) sorry if that sounds confusing.
No, cause shes cybernetic inplants shut down before the gun reached her/they transported to another place/they simply shut doen i think, i cant remember this series that much. But i do remember Batou reaction wen this happened god he was unhappy.
i can be wrong but i think she knew that she will be attacked and the body which was shoten was a artifical body which she controled from far away... well and biological elements like blood where in it :-P
the reason for shooting the head is to destroy the mind, if not they would had stopped her before facing that Crab Monster, besides that... like batou,.. if MY friend died, (especialy some one as Awesome as motoko) i wouldnt be unhappy, i would cry like a Wee Wee Baby, Cuz motoko is awesome ( and im reffering to the motoko from the original movie with black hair & more cooler character) ♫^__^♫▐
I really can't decide which one is better, the first or the second video. So I'll say I like them both which wouldn't be far from the truth at all. ^^ And Motoko kicks ass in both of them which is just plain awesome.
Great intro!!! (Just wish I'd thought of it first - I love that song)
I'm going to go against the flow here and say I liked the first version better. This one was very action-packed, but the original gave me chills during the "slower" parts.
Yeah, the first version had a certain something to it...but I wanted to make the clips more relevant to the lyrics, so I changed a lot of them to reflect that. In the first version I slapped random clips around in places I needed to fill, so lyrically the sync wasn't so good.
Very good work here. The pace of the video doesn't feel like it slows down at all. And as usual, the flow is great, the visuals fit and look perfect, and you've made yourself an even more impressive video. The ending fits very well but made me jump a little, I completely forgot about that in the original. What's worse is that it got me again on my second time watching this XD. Awesome job! :)
