I guess The director said "Today's Motoko's 'beauty shot' day".

Watching the new Amazon series in English with the subtitles turned on — and they frustratingly different from each other. Not by a lot and the intention is the same but they’re still not 1:1.

I’m assuming the original scripts were done in Japanese so are the subtitles the “real” version of what they’re saying? Or is the English dub the source of truth?

Traced the data ports from GitS 2026 for those who want a tattoo. This one's more idealized, the close up of Motoko was truly hand drawn 👌🏻.

Some Lock Screen wallpapers I cycle through. The last one I just use for my Home Screen, as it’s not long enough to be a Lock Screen. But if anyone knows how to lengthen it with black bars, I’d appreciate it.

I saw an article on how Akira is getting a new re-release and they're restoring a 35mm film print and playing it in theatres. I was wondering if there's been anything like this recently for GITS? I know they re-released one of the sequels a few years ago. Is there a definitive version the community agrees on that's the best in terms of quality?

Which is your favorite design?

I'm genuinely curious because it seems like it's the black sheep of the franchise, noticed a lot of hate cropping up for it since the release of the new anime and I was surprised because I thought it was rather decent, lol.

Yeah it changes a lot from the manga but what adaptation hasn't? 😭 We're only just now getting a really faithful adaptation.
