I only think that they are not just friends, but friends with benefits ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)  |
| The question isn't "What anime do you like?" That is merely a list. The question is "Why do you like it?" That tells a story. Your story. |
| Tremendous episode and it was nice to see a different, softer side of Motoko. She did not have to give that geek a lesson in real life, but she did. I don't know too much about Motoko's background, but I think in a lot of ways she wanted her life to be just like theirs: good families, able to get a great education, and a lot of potential. Really enjoying the show and looking forward to the next episode. |
| Pretty pointless episode, but seeing Major smile was worth it. |
| So the argument that Motokos sexy outfit symbolizes something is more or less true. Really good episode. Initially I thought it would be just an unrelevant sidecase, but I liked how much it fleshed out Motokos character. Also lol at her beating down Batou. The smile at the end was cute. This show is starting to grow on me. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Oh man! I've heard the silly music that played with the introduction of the robo-director Iwasaki before. So nice to find its origin! Here is the song I mean. It's so cute! |
 |
| Episodes like this give some insight into Motoko's mind (she's otherwise pure soldier/policewoman). She has a strong sense of identity as a woman, despite the fact that she's had an artificial body since the age of 6. |
| "Perhaps there is a universal, absolute truth. Perhaps it justifies every question. But that's beyond the reach of these small hands." Mamoru Oshii There is a cult of ignorance (...) nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that “my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” Isaac Asimov |
| Oh boy yet another episodic filler. Zzzzzzzzzz |
| oh damn is Batou's brain mechanical or something lol |
 |
| some great worldbuilding but meh episode. not as interesting or as good as the other episodic stuff |
| good opinions on anything, block = I own you |
| I love how cool, calm, and collected our guys from section remain in situations like these, showing restraint, not letting emotions get to their head, especially Major herself. I believe their mentality will refuse to break under any amount of pressure. edit: people having the nerve to call these episodes as "filler". You get "filler" when there's an overarching narrative, and then an episodic is shoved in the middle of that story that doesn't add anything to the plot. Maybe I'm wrong, and the whole Laughing Man matter actually is counted as the main story. But otherwise, this is clearly an episodic series dude. This is the equivalent of calling 22 out of the 26 episodes of Cowboy Bebop as "filler" because they don't have Vicious in it. It won't be anytime soon that a random soul will stumble upon this, but when they do, just know that this is meant to be episodic, before you write down and file your complaint. If I'm wrong, then I guess I'll just eat my words later. |

Erebus25 said: Same question here...I recall Motoko not being able to control the cyborg body and crushing a doll, but not a bearWhat is the connection between teddy bear and "4th story" as mentioned in opening description? btw, was nice to see the box dude and the pig plant plot from the manga |
