My girlfriend and I watched a little bit of gundam wing and hahaha oh my god.

It's amazingly stupid in the best way, I love it.

Hope you're watching the Dub, for the best crazy voices.

Mamoru Oshii probably means Puppet Master instead of Laughing Man though. Kinda disappoint.

How can our eyes be real when mirrors aren't real?

Man I hadn't read the premise of this film before. It's pretty funny when compared to season 1 of SAC.

I knew it would be "Making of a cyborg" before I clicked.

I was not disappointed.

There's also the two women sleeping with her in that short clip I posted last page to give a quick overview of the show's style. I think Kurutan is one of them?

Yeah, but much like Lucas is being most useful when you have a room of people to shut down his worst ideas, I'm glad he wasn't in control.

He has good ideas, they just seem to get wrapped up with really bad ones more often than I'd like.

Strangely, the Appleseed manga is probably his best work and was never really adapted well.

I'm a bit sad we're not getting the Stand Alone Complex story of police corruption and corporate coverup.

I always love the Japanese (Corporatist) Authoritarian Militarism in movies/shows like GitS and Evangelion. Be very American for them to cut that aspect out of the movie, though.

It's not depicted in an obvious, cartoonish Verhoeven-like way, but it still works without them having to wink.

No one notices in Akira that the JSDF was replaced with a super-powerful Army. With a chrysanthemum logo.

I've heard on the internet that people in Japan don't care about the whitewashing. Maybe they don't. But living in Korea, my friends here are super unhappy about the major no longer being Asian.

Japan's reaction means jack poo poo. The problem is that asian-american actors (and other non-whites) don't get enough opportunities and roles that would normally go to them are instead given to white actors. Japan, having it's own movie industry, clearly doesn't have that problem so of course they don't care.
