| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Returning from a mission and then getting into one that involves murder huh? Sounds busy. Another episode of the typical GITS stuff. This one titled Ghost Pain. |

| At this rate it'll take until episode 9 to get to new content...I really don't see the point of 8 episodes of copy/pasted content out of order. I've never been so tempted to drop a show but I'll hold out for the sake of those two episodes at the end as well as the "sequel" movie in June, which is probably gonna be a recap at the rate this is going :c |

| what the fuck..it starts with recap of movie 4 and then go to movie 1 ? whats next movie 3 and then movie 2? oh i get it! Alternative Architecture.. this is recap of movies but in a different order. very clever! |
| This was okay. No fan of arise though,but atleast Major kicked some asses ;P |
 |
| So episode 9 and 10 will be unique? |
 |
| Yes, the TV show will cover all 4 movies, plus 1-2 episodes of new content. Everyone is assembling - Paz, Togusa, Batou... :D |

But of course! that way they secure some views, since it is all out of order we can't be sure what will come next, including the goddamn new content! |
| this episode should not be the first? |
| Delicious episode. The usual great stuff that I expect from GiTs. Let's see how this arc ends. |
 |
| For some reason I prefer the TV series to the ARISE movies. I never bothered to pick them up. I wish I had a mobile land mine that cute. The key people are gathering and the Major showing off that prosthetic body of hers. |
| The major meeting Aramaki for the first time. |
| Good episode. Though, it seems like this would have made for a better first episode. Is this whole series (or franchise) about the Major fighting government (and military) corruption? |
stephen5000 said: Arise is primarily about the formation of the Major's unit, and might possibly go into the machinations that ended with it being absorbed into section 9 (which was where the manga started). The incidents involved are merely a catalyst for the main story. And while corruption is a major player, there will also be some foreign espionage and terrorism.Good episode. Though, it seems like this would have made for a better first episode. Is this whole series (or franchise) about the Major fighting government (and military) corruption? |
| Jumped back in time. I guess we're gonna see the group get together to solve this murder case. |

The key people are gathering and the Major showing off that prosthetic body of hers. how can you say you prefer something..when you never even looked at the other? doesnt make sense, the movies are better, in order, and no skipped scenes/dialogue, not saying arise if the best of the franchise mind you, but between the movies an the tv series of arise, movie wins hands down couldve just released specials/ovas of the new content and it woulda been fine |
 |
| Nice cliffhanger cut and interesting ED! Let's see what's next. |
 |
| Not again. Arise Movie 1...ah well, I have plenty of time to waste. XD Why does have mobile landmine have to look like a little girl again? For camouflage in an urban environment? O_o |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
| Same as the first movie, except remove the battle music when Paz vs Major occurred. Next episode is gonna be good for sure :) |
| Always nice to follow an episode of GITS, but why go back? I think the timeline seen in the OVA was better. |
 |
| So we get a flashback to the Mayor's past now. So far I liked the one in SAC better. |
| This was a good episode. I see a lot of people saying why go back, why rehash the OVA. Not everyone saw the OVA so this will be their introduction to GITSA. If you view this as it's own thing instead of judging it based on the previous movies, how does it stack up? Overall, I though the animation was clean, the story was good, and the plot was easy to follow. They introduced a lot of interesting characters and setup some good mystery's to be uncovered. I am enjoying this as it has been a very long time since I watched the first 3 OVAs and never saw the fourth. |
