| Not a fan of the character designs. Liked the SAC one's more. |

| I'm glad that Maaya Sakamoto is giving her voice to Motoko Kusanagi. This must be her biggest role in her career as seiyu. The style is completely different from previous GITS series and movies and I kinda like it. |

| its the look of something that can never match up with Kenji Kamiyama's work, don't they dare replace may fav characters' picture with ones from these, they should just create another character profile for this series i may sound childish but still |
| Simplistic beauty can't be appreciated by someone who looks for something grand in everything he watch. |
| Strange that somebody do not like fresh character design of Motoko, because it look much much better than SAC, there Matoko was looking more like babe, rather than cold cybork. Now her eyes and expression looks much closer who she supposed to be, like in original 1995 movie. After movie I actually never liked new design of Motoko in Stand Alone Complex. |

So SAC Motoko looks like a babe but this looks cyborg? This one can look pretty human too as i've seen. But instead of a babe it's the young cute girl now. I guess you compare and choose. |

Agree, from this shot definetly, non of them look like they should, but still, from other images theres more hope. At least, maybe this teen will be not wearing bikini or some other fan-service half-naked costumes like in SAC. |
| If they actually cared about this, they would stick to the original Character Design they used with Koukaku Kidoutai 1995. Mod Edit: Removed excessive profanity. |

| I just hope this isn't an attempt to appeal to the masses, the last thing I would want to see is a 14 year old Motoko being an angsty teenager. I'm probably looking too much into it that anime has yet to disappoint me. I guess I was just hoping for a continuation of Stand Alone Complex; I love that series. Edit: Oh wow I was just looking at the cast, everyone is new. That's not a good sign this might end up as bad as those recent Berserk animations. Not looking forward to this :(. |

| For me Batou's facial structure looks really fucked up. Like really bad. Mokoto seems to be the best looking out of all of them, I don'tmind the changes they made with her, but everyone else just seems a little off.  He looks like a fuckin baby or somethin... I dunno. |

| Personally like new design. Feels more modern and action-oriented. Kinda like new Motoko design as well; she looks tougher and less "fem!botish", though it's a shame that trademark coat is gone. |
 |
| New Motoko...looks too...eh... |

| I really don't understand the complaints about Motoko looking too "moe" or whatever. If you're going to complain about "pandering," complain about the shift from her almost androgynous depiction in the 1995 film to her highly sexualized one in SAC. I personally really prefer the more subdued style of her new design over her ultra-feminine SAC design. RomanceDawn said: I just hope this isn't an attempt to appeal to the masses ... If anything is an "appeal to the masses" it's having Motoko walk around without pants for the entire first season of SAC. |

| I'm going to give it a fair chance. Being someone who saw the original GitS film when it first came over to the US I actually was sceptical about SAC because they all looked rather different, especially Motoko. So I will not judge the anime based on art style, which I honestly don't think looks bad at all. Just different from what we know and love. |

I personally really prefer the more subdued style of her new design over her ultra-feminine SAC design. The androgynous design in 1995 movie was a complete new invention of the movie. Motoko was very very sexualized in the manga, she even has scenes making lesbian sex or making teasing sex offers to the guys. SAC was more inspired by the manga and still was a lot more conservative. Motoko is a "no shame, open sexually" person. Why can' a a character be like that and not be accused that is because of "pandering". If i was an author i would be pissed on not be allowed to make a sexually liberated person in my stories and not be accused that i made such person only for pandering. Edit: Saw you are girl. If we combine that with being a conservative person i guess we get where your criticism gets. Motoko is exactly the opposite of a conservative person in every aspect. |

| I'm really depressed they decided to remake the story rather than making a continuation - original SAC was definitely one of my favorites anime of all time. But as a fan i will not complain :) The artwork is simply awesome. As for changing the looks of team members - it's a good thing i think. I'm opposed to never changing images of anime characters :/ Here we got a fresh glance and it's remarkable. |
