Back Arrow was very fun and I await for it to be in a SRW at some point in the future

if gunxsword can grow and maintain a fairly positive reputation over the years then i'd certainly agree there's room for the same when it comes to back arrow, a show i 1000% prefer but could concede them being of a similar quality.

憎しみは無関心から来るものではありません。憎しみは逆さまの愛です。だから私とバック・アロウと一緒です。私は、バック・アロウに反対したいとは思いませんでした。それどころか、私はそれを愛したかった。・バックアロウと私は友達になるべきだったし、私だけが選んだ問題だったらそうだっただろう。残念ながら、そうではありませんでした。バック・アロウは元気とエネルギーから始まりましたが、そのすべての美徳を裏切っていました。バカ?私は防御を否定します。正直なオソマツのように、バック・アロウは愚かではありませんでした。バック・アロウはもっと悪い罪を持っています。バックアロウは鈍いです。バック・アロウは、子供たちのように、明るい色と点滅するライトが対話と特徴付けの十分な代替物であると考えることを期待して、そのキャラクターとそのプロットへの勢いに対するいかなる代理人も拒否します。

より良い世界では、これで終わりです。バック・アロウと、マッドサイエンティストの支援合唱団のように可能性に満ちたその恐ろしい概念の浪費は、歴史のゴミ箱に非難されるでしょう。しかし、これは堕落した世界であるため、「ドクター」よりもインテリジェントな作品として「フェイルセーフ」を推し進めようとする人々と同様に、時代の曖昧さを利用して、くだらないアニメをその稼いだ墓から引きずり出す人々がいます。奇妙な愛"。結果として、私たちの子孫が私たちよりも賢明であるように、私のような惨めな若いスノッブ、その失敗を記録するために最後までゴミを見る人々がいるに違いありません。

(ちなみに、ガン×ソードはリリースされたときはささやかな成功でしたが、バック・アロウは大規模なマーケティングの推進にもかかわらず、完全なフロップでした。)

Also Ghost in the Shell: Arise which... I mean I doubt anyone could follow up SAC given that not even SAC could do a good follow-up to SAC, but still that is not an inspiring work to put on one's resume. He's also listed as the writer for Heroic Age which I watched and remember absolutely nothing about which is also not a particularly auspicious sign.

Not to say it's necessarily fated to be bad, but as you say perhaps some caution is merited.

オブジェクトがタイムストリームに入ると、時間はそれ自体を修正し始めます。 この例を使用してみましょう。崖の端にある4つのボールを想像してみてください。 崖に最も近いボールの直接コピーがボールの列の後ろに送られ、最初のボールの代わりになるとします。 以前の最初のボールが2番目になり、2番目が3番目になり、4番目が崖から落ちます。
時間も同じように機能します。

No way of knowing the details of the case, but what I can find quickly says he was charged with hitting her once seven years ago, he spent a bit over a week in jail for it, his wife didn't press further chargers so he got out, and she divorced him.

Unless he remarried, it seems like it's at least not a case of being fresh out of jail.

Someone mentioned that Ubukata got this particular Netflix contract a while ago, though, when the wife-beating incident was still fresh. So, kinda scummy.

I went into more detailed arguments concerning your specific criticisms while the show was airing, and could always do so again...but what would be the point?

Opinions will inevitably differ. Sure, Gun X Sword was better. That said, I don't think commercial success (or lack thereof) means much. It is simply a measure of popularity. Which can only imperfectly reflect how much a given individual (or specific group of people) would be able to enjoy something or not. Many popular shows haven't done anything for me and vice versa.

2045 has the advantage of being okay. It's not like every other GiTS property where I think it actively sucks. It's solidly All Right. On the high upper side of mediocre.

It sure doesn't compete in the slightest with original SAC, but I don't think SAC is made worse for it existing or anything.

Also not what I said nor what I was implying, and I have literally no idea why you seem to think I was saying that last bit at all. The writer of Moonrise was brought up, people started mentioning their previous works, and my input was that they did Arise which wasn't great but being charitable it looked way worse especially because it was inevitably going to be compared SAC which was such a high note that not even the actual sequel to SAC could live up to it.

Okay, sure, I may have interpreted things wrong, but like what the hell are you talking about if not 2nd Gig or 2045? Solid State Society?
And even if what I was saying wasn't relevant to what you're talking about, why the weird judgmental tone about the things I'm saying? What's the problem with just saying "hey, these were good" when it's tangentially relevant? Relax imo; you're not some conversation overseer.

I was saying 2045 wasn't as good as original SAC. If I came across as sharp it's because you seemed to be misunderstanding me and taking issue with things I didn't say and don't believe, and no offense but I don't enjoy that.

I finished watching the 2nd half of Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 and it was ok. Significant drop in storytelling compared to the GITS:SAC seasons/movie. There were some good bits in it. I did not like the ending and the main conflict with Post-Humans that Section 9 was trying solve in SAC_2045 is weak compared to Laughing Man, Individual 11 and even Puppeteer. The 3D CG was much better in the 2nd season of SAC_2045 compared to the 1st season. However, I think the only "standalone" episode with Batou and bank robbery was the best out of SAC_2045.

The "season" was actually just 3 movies cut apart into 4 anime episodes each. The next movie is in October, so we should get more some time after that.

Yeah I'm about halfway through and it does look a lot better than the first season, but it's still much worse than GITS:SAC. I find Purin pretty irritating and unnecessary.
