| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Good episode. Major scored a new headset :D Lol, loved their pretend holiday at the end. |
 |
| It's scary how easily can Major pass through all of that lazers. She really is a good thief. |
| Motoko thief was as cool! |
 |
| As has been said, Major as a thief was pretty cool. ...and man was Tachikoma Days weird this episode. Or maybe it's always like that, I normally don't watch them. |
| I also loved the pretend holiday at the end....great stuff. |
| Cool episode. I like deception and secretive work. Great job by the major in this one. |
 |
| Loved it :3 lmao at Tachikoma's xD are they perverts? The whole major playing thief theme was pretty good too =] |
| what a bunch of perverted old guys |
the only way to stop a gamer from playing is either: beat them, or wait until they get bored (though 2% percent suffer seizures  |
| I love this episode!! 1. I am going to rip off that bald man's eyes if he keeps ogling at Motoko 2. Damn! Motoko tricked me too!!!! 3. I never get tired of Motoko's outfits. 4. LOL at the end with Batou and Major and Chief |
| Even when I was in crowd, I was always alone |
| Cool sexy thief >xD LOL @ Tachikoma Days |
| Another great episode that managed to have both humor and a great story. I loved the Spider-Man jump The Major did against the door at the very beginning. It is ironic that one of the greatest shows ever made would include Tachikomatic Days, one of the stupidest set of shorts. I don't think I've liked a single one yet. |
 |
| The amount of skill the Major has really is ridiculous :P I also loved the ending, quite a funny episode. The Tachikoma was right when calling them all perverts. |
| The Major is cool (: |
| so last episode was clearly an homage to taxi driver, and this one seems to pay homage to ocean's eleven. wonder if the movie homages will continue on the dividual episodes. |

I didn't see any Ocean's Eleven here, there's plenty of movies that follow this kind of plot. Anyway it was a good episode, not as engaging as the previous ones but still pretty witty. |
 |
| pretty cool and Motoko with the lovely dress is sexy as hell O____O and yeah fucking politicians touching my Motoko :P love her moves and she is definitely could be one of the best thief's in the world. and lol at the end with the virtual beach :P amazing stuff can't wait for the Complex episodes :) |
| Motoko is truly a beauty. |
 |
| Aw, I thought they finally were allowed to go on vacation! D=. Terrorism sure isn't a rare thing in Japan in this day in age. |
 "I like to expose what people hide. I'm an intellectual rapist." - Furudo Erika |
| Wow.. that job was smoothly done.. and I really thought the major was on vacation.. haha.. chief is really strict! |
| Nice episode. Now that was a perfect plan. Virtual beach was funny. |
 |
| Good episode. I loved how Makoto handled that case during the scene on the buildings. Otherwise, the action was pretty good as well. |
 |
| Party dress burgling Motoko was neat. Also the ost is really much better than the first gig: tense moments get more ethereal pads + keyboard, while the tune at the beginning of the party reminded of a Bebop episode. It builds the atmosphere so much quicker, makes it more immersive. |
 |
| Seems pushing the speed up to 130% really makes the pace good! If you're like me and you find the pace rather boring try doing the same, it doesn't fuck up the speech and the pace gets far better by doing so! |
 |
| Wow! Motoko(yes Motoko not Makoto) was full sexy power in this episode. Well that guy might have been disgusting but one thing you can't accuse him is having a bad taste since he liked Motoko's hot body. Btw even now re-watching the series the big question still remains. Did someone actually managed to grope the Major? ^_^ Boba_Fett said: Seems pushing the speed up to 130% really makes the pace good!

| Damn Motoko was so hot in this episode. That last conversation between Tachikoma's was funny. Are those people perverts? No, they are what you call eccentrics. xD And the fake vacation was hilarious. Aramaki is so strict. Imo this SA episode was much better then the previous one. 5/5 |
 |
| Not really much to say here, but as an individual episode it was pretty solid. Pretty clever plan, especially with how Motoko escaped the trap. |
| "Yes, I have been deprived of emotion. But not completely. Whoever did it, botched the job." - Geralt of Rivia |
| "How long do you intend to fantasise about being a thief? There's a lot of work to do!" Aramaki...must be a workaholic. 5/5. Great DI Ep! Really like the "reverse espionage" device used! |
| "If you reject me, I'll blast a hole in you!" Kanzaki H. Aria Just kidding.  |
| The major was so cool in that episode :P They trapped him good with that break-in. That were some marginal method. All those old dirty man playing with power, make me sick. |
| «Time is passing so quickly. Right now, I feel like complaining to Einstein. Whether time is slow or fast depends on perception. Relativity theory is so romantic. And so sad.» - Kurisu Makise a.k.a. The Zombie |
| Major sure has a wardrobe full of hot suits. But I'm not blaming her, that's one lusty synthetic body, lol. |
 |
| 5/5 Episode that carries on the plot, but in this case, would speak more of a sub plot linked to what was seen at the beginning; on the changed political situation. From what we can see, the prime minister together with section 9 wants to purge the political class, removing the old and bringing a new era. Narration usable, slow but more exciting for the fallout that will occur in the future. Not bad renewed custom design major. Drawings of ups and downs, but good animations. |
 |
| Ocean's Eleven meets Aramaki's Nine :D |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Masterful execution |
 |
| Ocean's Nine is pretty sweet. Bountiful bust and hips indeed. |

| Motoko in action is enough for the episode to be awesome, damn she is getting better, a little bit more and i'll welcome her to my favorite characters list. The Animation level improved Immensely from the first season. Great Episode. |
| Damn, Major is not even able to go on a real vacation >.< Her outfits this episode though <3 |
| I feel like they're going to somehow incorporate something like this in the live-action movie. Cuz fanservice. Kinda meh imo, almost a spy cliche. |
| That party though.. I'm afraid it'll happen in the future :P Yep, Tachikoma.. They're perverts xD The ending was sad :( They deserved a little bit holiday xD |

It builds the atmosphere so much quicker, makes it more immersive. Exactly! Yoko Kanno just started to shine after second season. Producers might have relised her for the sake of creativity. Previous deep dark techno and guitar heavy sounds havent fit her musical intelligent anyway. She was like a bird waiting patiently to gain her freedom again *Sniffs Bebop*. |
| Nothing too special, but we got some nice action and a look at "high society" of the future. I liked it! |
| Nice episode. Horrible perverts and corrupt politicians. Almost like real life. |
| -------- |
| Really fun episode. Major should be wearing that kind of full body suit more often. Hotter. Maybe she should become an actual thief, with her skills and such. And I love that they use those female androids at section 9 as their sex bot partner. They're actually a cutie XD |
| This episode obviously borrowed many elements that are commonly shown in some sort of thief movies or series, but it was nonetheless really entertaining. The Tachikomas or the virtual "trip" at the end gave me a good laugh. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| This holds up so well on a rewatch. Could have been made today no problem. I had forgotten how our beloved Major could pull off a white dress like nobody's business. |
| "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 |
| These guys don't seem too bad compared to what we have in the real world with Epstein, Maxwell, Clinton, Gates, Wesner, Prince A, etc. |
| Seeing the Tachikoma's back on the job makes so freaking happy man So it seems we've gotten a more standalone-type episode here, seemingly not having any ties to the "individual eleven". Not that I have any real preference, but I was half-expecting EVERY episode to be focused on the individual eleven here in 2nd Gig, rather than having it be mostly standalone episodes like in the first season. I'm glad we are getting some episodes that have their own self-contained story, because the first season had some pretty damn good ones, and I have hope there will be some good ones here too. |
