finally watched it, my first anime movie (aside from a couple Studio Ghiblis if that counts). what did I think of it?
you probably thought it was cool as hell, as you should
it was definitely cool and I enjoyed it a lot.
it felt like the missing link between Blade Runner and The Matrix, both in terms of style and story.
visually it was just as awesome as I heard it'd be, the music was pretty interesting. story was a bit clunky but still worked well.
biggest problem was the dialogue was either tech gibberish (and i literally work in tech) or just heavy-handed awkward "pondering" scifi talk.
I also watched it in English dub because I didn't want any text on the screen to take away from the visuals since that was clearly the focus.
That being said, the dub was frickin atrocious, for major especially. They made her sound like some sassy mid-western Karen.
Now that I know the story I'll definitely like to rewatch in the original audio.
The dub is particularly bad but even still the script is purposely dry and overly philosophical. You have to forgive the sci fi talk at the time as well, a lot of the tech in it has been realised today but at the time it really was fantastical.
I love the film and Oshii, Kenji Kawaiis OST is amazing and once you realise the chanting song is a ritual marriage celebration song you get a better understanding of what the union between the major and 2501 means.
I Def recommend his other movies especially Patlabor 2. A lot of people don't like Gits 2 but it's pure Oshii and a love letter to all his artistic obsessions (dolls, post humanism, french literature, urban landscape)
>a lot of the tech in it has been realised today but at the time it really was fantastical.
Not him but what a monkey's paw thinking cyberpunk worlds were cool in the 90s and wanting to live in one turned out to be
Instead of transhumanism we have trannies, instead of augmented reality we have moron phones and instead of cyberspace we have social media, what a fricking disgrace
Transphobia aside you're right, I think the best depiction of our current dystopia is in southland tales. Surveillance state and hyperconsumerism but no cool neon lights, just dirty and dilapidated infrastructure from the last century.
You will never be a woman. And people wouldn't hate you if you just did like in cyberpunk and modified yourself to look like a woman(male) without all the moronic autistic "I really AM an anime girl trapped in a disgusting man body uwu, and you're evil if you don't constantly pander to my delusions"
I can tell so much about you from the way you type. You will never pass. Go shower, it's been a few days.
Pretty sad to think that the futurism culture of the 80s and 90s is so much cooler than the actual future we ended up having.
We're definitely a disappointment.
Making the internet accessible to regular people(morons) was the mistake we will pay for eternally.
i feel compelled to inform you that gits: standalone complex, both gigs as well as sss, are peak gits
for anyone who likes the first movie, watch innocence and then the show asap
innocence before s1+2 is moronic, you miss the point of motoko leaving section 9
should do 1995 ->s1/s2 -> innocence ->SSS -> arise
havent you learned from star wars to watch in release order yet
The film and Innocence are their own continuity, the TV show is a separate continuity.
Boring, but Bato was cool and Major Kusanagi was hot as frick.
Kino
Only anime I've ever watched is the moomins. That one in the OP's picture and Akira are the only anime movies on my watchlist. I hope they are good. Blade Runner is one of my favourites.
You maybe might like Tekkonkinkreet
Me again
It's one of those it's just as much about the city as it is the characters
>Tekkonkinkreet
always wondered why Japanese anime artists draw their characters with European faces instead of Asians like them
now I see why...
There's adults in there too, dorkus. Those two are the main, but there's cops and gangsters and city officials n whatnot too
i wasnt talking about age
Cause Treasure Town?
Could very well be one of the themes maybe
watch Akira next
I do have it next on my watch list, but what about after?
I heard Vampire Hunter D, Paprika, Ninja Scroll are good, but I don't want any weeb shit, just pure kino that happens to be Japanese animation.
I’d suggest Millennium Actress over Paprika if you’re going to watch something by Satoshi Kon.
it's kino and motoko is my robo-wife
Better than Akira
The manga sucked and the artist draws too much interracial porn now.
W-what?
nta but it's true
the dude on which the franchise is based draws erotic mangas now, some of which involve well-built darker-skinned dudes
Sad how the mighty have fallen.
A lot of them involve Bojack Horseman horse guys too.
Now watch Ninja Scroll and I'll tell you what to think of it!
its a nearly perfect blend of aesthetics, action, philosophy and cool main characters
but if youre a religious cuck you might not like it
>if you're a religious cuck you might not like it
why?
>but if youre a religious cuck you might not like it
actually it's the opposite
this film isn't pro-transhuman
You want to become a woman now.
No, but the more I'm exposed to anime the more I understand trannies.
Anime has always glorified femininity, even old stuff like Ghibli.
Modern adulty anime especially dwells on how amazing female bodies are and how powerful they are due to their sexual power of merely existing with boobs.
I can totally see how some mindbroken incel losers take an appeal to it and make it their pit-stop on their way to suicide.
The movie ponders a lot on identity and technology, but never takes a stance, same thing with Patlabor 2 also from Mamoru Ooshi regarding war and peace
i don't find this to be a problem. films can start, end , or meaningfully contribute to a discussion. it doesn't have to be all-in-one.
i think people only make your argument when they think others need to be told what to think.
I don't either, but it seems that the exposition was inserted in betweet the plot to help the viewer understand the themes, it's like day in Texas Chainsaw Massacre a character starts a monologue on Urban violence
