neontaster said: Looks kinda prequel-ish, no? She looks much younger here.  Kinda reminds me of Re-L from Ergo Proxy, actually. http://getnews.jp/archives/283948 Forget what I said earlier. Now that I saw the whole image I kinda like this younger look, and from the looks of her design the rest of the characters will have that quality which looks great. But it's missing Kanno. |
She looks like a cross between Kaneda from Akira and Balot from Mardock Scramble. |

| I haven't watched anything of GitS. I've been wanting to, so I guess I should go ahead and start if there is more coming out. |
 What "Adolescence" do you have? Do you remember "Childhood"? The irreplaceable one existed there. |
| That... is... Motoko? Why? FangasmingExcited anyway! |

| I don't know if I like the new look or not. |

| Awesome, Ive been waiting for this announcement since 2007....tears:'! |
| DON'T BELIEVE IN THE HYPE, ITS ALL JUST PART OF A MASTER PLAN |
| Well at least is a decent enough look but is certainly a downgrade to SAC Motoko. Hair too colorful etc and she kind of looks younger. Like a character from Mai Hime or something. That certainly ain't better than this. http://wallpoper.com/images/00/40/90/74/motoko-kusanagi_00409074.jpg http://wallpoper.com/images/00/40/89/68/motoko-kusanagi_00408968.jpg Oh! well if the plot and scenario is decent i guess we can live with it. Maybe she would look better when we see her actually moving and being animated. Hope the rest of the cast won't turn to bishounen boys etc cause am gonna throw things at my screen. |
| Great news, but I do not like Motoko's new design. |
| Oshii's Ghost in the Shell Movies = Philosophical Sci-fi Oshii's ideas + Kenji Kamiyama's Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex Series = Political Sci-fi + a lot of study on social structure + yep, a lot of indepth message for us fucking humans so they basically want a "new turn" by having Tow Ubukata, still very neutral with this i just hope it won't turn into just a "sci-fi coated" action series let's see them create another Laughing Man let's see them create another Hideo Kuze let's see them create another Puppeteer |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Looking forward to this! |

GitS are some big shoes to fill. But I'd also imagine that the GitS fanbase won't exactly go nuts for something sub par, no? They really got to make a sincere effort for this to be successful just because of the greatness it will be compared to. At least I hope so. |
|
| I saw the thread title and 'Hallelujah!' At least there's some respite from 'moe' news. Then I saw the character design... My waifu turned semi-loli moe. Just the same, nirvana came this morning with this news. |
name93 said: A Prequel would be nice. Her life-story from 2nd Gig was kinda lame. Character design looks like a fusion of movies Major and SAC Major. I disagree. To me, the episodes focusing on her back story were some of the best stuff from 2nd Gig. Anyway, I'm gradually getting more excited about this. I think Neontaster is probably on to something here. And, I'm sure some GiTS fans had some trepidation when SAC came out....hopefully we'll get another great rendition. A unique take like someone previously mentioned. |

| I was hoping for 3rd gig, but I'll give it a go regardless. It'll still probably end up being really good even if it is some sort of reboot (how can you fuck up GitS?) |
| More Major! MY READY IS BODY!! |
| I really like how major looks. |
| Still need to watch the Movies and Standalone Complex but you can count me in. However tragic it might be, it would be so funny if the finished product was overloaded with modern anime clichés. It would be so full of moe, lolicon and panty shots that it would make Strike Witches look like Fist of the North Star. |
 |
| Well now I definitely need to start on Standalone Complex and the movies! |

| Like the look of the new character design. |
| It's best to be cautiously optimistic. Btw, since Motoko is wearing red maybe we will get to see Fuchikomas this time. |
zetsu_shoren said: NO NO hype. Fucking hell. Just 3 eps into Koukaku Kidoutai STAND ALONE COMPLEX, and BIG disappointment how they fucked up Motoko compared to the movie. And by movie, obviously 1995. PIG really likes to fuck things up with their CG/3D shit. They should learn and start using it only on vehicles and other environment. Looking forward to this being a whole new different story. Wow, your taste sucks. SAC Motoko rules, that's for sure. |

| Well this is a good news. I just hope this is not a Blood-C version of GITS |

Both are pretty damn excellent if you ask me. |

Backing up insan3soldiern! BUT this a a 100% production IG anime, it has hardly -practically never- reached and catered to the hordes of moe fans. If you wanna imagine how it could look like you need not look further than psycho-pass. That said all the wishes and jokes for moe only scream butt-hurt from some, perhaps realizing your moe is in decline after the industry as a whole re-boots older anime? You often see this trends in many industries, in which older stuff and trends become the center again. Nudity and the Major panties, probably we can expect it but it has never been fanservice as we know and perceive it today. refer back to psycho-pass the the bath scene (or the scene in which Akane´s friend undresses) which many used to say hey it has fanservice! |
| Fuck yea ! I'm so tired of moeblobs thats coming out of anime lately. |

| Between this and Rozen Maiden announcement , omg best year ever |

The movies one didn't have much characterization at all. |

SAC series focused more on characterization.... Both Motokos are awesome but SAC one is more awesome..... :D |
 |
| I should really finish watching SAC. I don't really care if it's a movie or an anime though. |
| Great news if it's another TV series; GiTS movies are lacking in comparison imo. I'd even welcome a remake of the old series :D |
 |
| This is a good year for cyberpunk. |
9988 said: Say what. Just look at what IG did in 2012: Robotics Note, Shining Hearts, 2011: Guilty Crown, Usagi Drop. (and I am not counting what it did for subcontractor works like Lagrange) All these seem to reach moe fans loud and clear. And then there are anime that male and female find a lot to feel moe about: KuroBas, Kimi ni Todoke. BUT this a a 100% production IG anime, it has hardly -practically never- reached and catered to the hordes of moe fans. 9988 said: Yeah, I look no further than Psycho-Pass to see moe exists there too. If you wanna imagine how it could look like you need not look further than psycho-pass. 9988 said: Seems it is more like you will yourself to see there is a "decline of moe" more than it is actually the case. Anyway, we have seen older stuff rebooted again and again in recent years, Gundam, Macross, Yamato and yet moe does not seem to have declined. If anything, it seems moe also took root in the rebooted franchise too.That said all the wishes and jokes for moe only scream butt-hurt from some, perhaps realizing your moe is in decline after the industry as a whole re-boots older anime?

| So MAL finally starts locking news threads that are only a few weeks old? I wonder where was the announcement of this change? Or we are seeing yet another case of changes made that impacted users but not communicated to them? I wonder how long people would put up with this. As much as I have a bunch of information to share about anime announced recently I cannot share it in news board, and the anime series is too disorganized and chaotic to share information except with people already interested in the particular series. |
9988 said: What are you on about? I was making a joke. Where did moe in decline, butthurt, and popular demand come from? And what's with this constant bullying of moe fans in the west? Also, why is there a serious discussion about moe stemming from my joke? As I said, I welcome this news and would find it tragic if something like that were to actually happen. But I just couldn't resist making the joke.insan3soldiern said: SquadmemberRitsu said: Still need to watch the Movies and Standalone Complex but you can count me in.

| This is going to be such a great year for anime. |
| Dreams really do come true..... |
 |
| This moe conversation made me lol. Imagine them turning Motoko into a moe blob that says "eeeeehh" and "kyaaaa" a lot. If that will be the case, I'll just pretend this new GITS installment doesn't exist and move on (in addition I'd hope the person responsible will die a horrible death). But it's not gonna happen (God forbid). |
