| Not only they change all the VAs but it will not even be TV anime. It will be a OVA like UC Gundam and there will 4 of them altogether. |
| 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. |

| 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. |
| the new gits anime looks okay but not sure i want to watch it |
| RRRRRRRRRR |

How do you know that the English cast will remain the same? I don't, it's a really big assumption. Lets just hope you're right, because I'm also assuming the same thing. Also like to point out that the new music isn't terrible, just kind of... um, confusing? The music in the OP/preview sounded jumbled, but not awful. (Maybe it'll be better in the actual OVAs?) Don't get mad at me for trying to be hopeful, the GITS series is one of my all time favorites. Hate to see it not put to good use. |

| Mehhh I'll end up watching it regardless |
ashura said: uhm i don't really like all this new character design... 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. |

slicKrox said: bergil said: You should get your eyesight checked. Should I? Yeah, and bikini costume in SAC was really in "place". Or I thought we are talking about the character designs not what the characters wear. Besides, in the manga Motoko's outfits look similar to the ones in SAC. |
bergil said: I thought we are talking about the character designs not what the characters wear. Besides, in the manga Motoko's outfits look similar to the ones in SAC. And I thought we talking about anime, not manga. Outfit was part of that awffull new look/design of Motoko in SAC, that was also breaking some of the atmosphere. Thats why she was looking more like babe, rather than cyborg. In the movie, even if she was half naked, everything was looking natural. Of course, that did not stopped me to watch SAC, but all the time I was missing look of real Major Motoko. Sorry for my bad English >.> |

| Motoko looks like a dude in the movie, like a woman in the SAC, like a teen model in the manga and like an angry teenager in the Arise. |

Though I generally prefer the TV series look, it's true that that default outfit she wore in SAC was kind of distracting, but it's not really big deal for me the more I see the series. The good news for you, though, is 2nd Gig does have that suit at all I believe. |

magmalord said: IcecreamManwich said: Which series of Ghost In The Shell is this a prequel to? SAC or the films series? SAC is a prequel to the films. No, not at all. I'm confused as to how someone could think this. Aside from SAC being a prequel to Solid State Society, of course. |

| Ermagerd. |

| Loving the fact that it is a prequel, even if it is done badly, it won't tarnish the series as a whole. Liking the new style and the music as well, really looking forward to this. |
 |
| I cannot wait for this. Really excited for it. Ghost In The Shell is one of my favorite series of all time and the film is my second favorite film ever made (just slightly falls behind STALKER). I just REALLY REALLY hope they get an English dub for this ASAP. This is one of those series where the dub is infinitely better than the sub. In fact, the Japanese voice actors for this series are atrocious and never really fit any of the characters. |
Dubs>subs. Breaking Bad>Anime Comic books>manga 99% of Anime is Garbage |
| can't wait for this. motoko looks like...hummm...yeah XD |
bergil said: She looks more like a human being in the '95 movie. I never liked that flat face with the undefined nose and pointed chin and the rigid purple hair in SAC. The new one looks too young and doesn't have the right curves, but the face appears to be shapelier at least. I'll have to see the movie to really judge.Motoko looks like a dude in the movie, like a woman in the SAC, like a teen model in the manga and like an angry teenager in the Arise. |

| I didnt see the problem with motokos new look. Plus then is it really new? Look at as a progression of time. Ezekiel said: bergil said: She looks more like a human being in the '95 movie.

Angry teenager may fit because she was upset that the person so most respected was killed and this was before she was a major and section 9. Went solo, aka rebellious life stage. |

| Yay more sci-fi action. Looks like Major and Batou still aren't getting along hahaha. |
