I might have watched Gits2 more than the first one, I really like it. I watched at least one season of the tv show which I also recall liking. I should get around to finishing it. Is there a third movie now, too?

I prob watched 1 like a dozen times this year after the first time and I kept avoiding 2 for a while cause I knew it was Major-less and I was a fool tbh

I think 1 has a more classic and tight story but 2 is so much a sequel it's almost perfect

Holy poo poo the exact same thing happened to me, the original Ghost in the Shell. I tried to watch it exactly three times and passed out each time.

I stayed awake for the Scarlett Johansson movie, so by default it is the superior version.

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?
so does the major not show up at all in 2. Where is she

OP made me think this was some brand new thing with modern sensibilities, but it's a sequel from 2004 with a poo poo dub?

I've never seen BladeRunner start to finish, that movie is scientifically crafted to induce a napping state.

The sequel is funny because only anime could come up with the concept that sexbots just wouldn't be any fun if you didn't imprison a child's soul in them

They should've kept Kusanagi's character front and center of this sci-fi action series as she was originally cyborgified - a brain in a lethal android jar built to pacify the most dangerous cyber psychos, without banishing her into the background as a disembodied AI fairy that sometimes whispers into Batou's USB port.

while I agree I kinda take it as I took Earthsea's second book-- the main character from book 1 is relegated to a almost cameo appearance but it lends to some very compelling characterization and content

it's just different
