i need to know if i can see it or not

the protagonists battle hackers instead of cheer them on, so probably a democrat movie

Problem with this: gits is anime, too obscure for western people to have given a poo poo about, and in japan it was only made illegal to possess child porn in 2013. So the absence of cries against the tits is indicative of nothing

GITS has been popular in the west (among anime fans at least) for almost 30 years. There's been plenty of time for uproar.

The CP factoid is hosed up to be sure but not really germane to GITS because the major is like 36 and her body is 25.

I wonder how much of the runtime will be dedicated to shots of hot robot lady getting dressed in tac gear. I'm not getting out of bed of it's less than 0.33.

I watched Akira maybe 8-10 or so years ago because everyone (like even normalesque people offline) talks about it as one of "the animes." That poo poo made no sense and to this day I have no comprehension of what I saw. Could someone give me a run down like they did for that other anime?

Government kidnaps and experiments on some kid, his friend tries to rescue him but the guy likes his new psychic powers, goes crazy turns into a monster and gets killed by his friend is the gist of it. Bear in mind I haven't seen it for years so there's probably more detail

That's pretty much what I remember. My main problem is it's run time is 2 hours and 5 minutes, but the plot summary is one sentence. It should have been an hour and fifteen minutes long tops. What was all that nonsensical poo poo that made it 2 hours and 5 minutes long?

About 30% of Akira is long panning shots of cities at night too. It eats into the runtime (and the budget)

The manga of Akira is legitimately good and makes the whole thing make a whole lot more sense.

The anime is a tiny fraction of the story.

I think long panning shots does the exact opposite of eating into the budget.

It's also really loving good at establishing atmosphere.

Hey, look. Look, if- if you screw me on this, I shall become more powerful than you can possibly imagine, you rat bastard!
Anime seems to have a glorification of good food. Either how great it is, how great cooking it is, how great the artisan crafting of it is, how the spirit of the cook is infused with the dish, how perfect a specific ingredient from a specific place is, all sorts of poo poo. Even Cup Noodle is literally treated like a divine cuisine. It seems like just about every show has some element of that.
