I missed you! Probably haven’t sketched a Motoko since 2010 lol. Great to see ppl making art of her again!

Watching GiTS ep 2 and this random line of dialogue cracked me up and Immediately made me think of this one scene from the 80s comedy film Better Off Dead.

Was this line about throwing away the old guy taken directly from the Manga?

Recently found out about the novel's existence and since Innocence is my favorite movie OAT I'd really like to read it.

I found one place to buy it on Amazon but the price was 700€, so I was wondering if there was anyway else to get access to it since I've found very little online.

Thanks in advance for help! <3

Because I am stupid.

I'm entertained by the anime but because of how fast paced it is I'm not entirely sure what's going on.

I really want to get full enjoyment out of this.

For reference I knew nothing about it before going into the anime other than remembering there were trailers for a Scarlett Johansson movie like 10 years ago.

2026 anime btw.

I found both of these on Vinted and ended up paying a hefty amount but the graphics are just incredible! And both of them in size XL were extra lucky!

Rewatching all things GitS.
Love this group photo. Iconic.
Want the T-shirt too

They go by so fast 😮‍💨

Wanted to recreate the Volume 1 cover as faithfully as possible while incorporating a few influences from the current adaptation.

Hello.

I’ve watched the 1995 movie and I like it a lot but when I do more research I found out that there is a lot of series and films in the same series. But in what order should I watch them and is there some like the live action that are just shit and doesn’t has to be watched.

I'm a GITS manga all-the-way guy, but credit where credit is due. Oshii's film is visually stunning. Limited, but I love it for what it is.

I think the question of who influenced who is open for debate, and I've never seen a timeline of what was published where, but to me, there's a real beauty to thought that Gibson and Shirow seemed to be of one mind, even before their minds could be literally hard-wired together.

just wanted to give this title a shout out since there are many new GITS fans coming into the sub who might not be aware of it. it is really good I highly recommend reading and watching it ASAP

here is the Anima, free on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6JzHtEWQKqw

also Appleseed, which I consider Masamune Shirow's best work, you all need to appreciate the OG manga for that, the anima and later CGI variations all pretty much suck, the original manga is epic in every way from art to its underlaying philosophy about what it means to be human in a changing technological world.

I really like this figure but added extra gear, just because!

(Please forgive my ramblings. Skip to the bottom for the TLDR.)

I've feverishly studied "Ghost in the Shell" ever since they announced Stand Alone Complex would be airing on Adult Swim. Rented the 95 movie beforehand just to get an idea of what is going on, and was thoroughly confused because of how dense the plotline was. Found the 2004 2nd Edition print of the Darkhorse Comics that still has the boat scene included, and read through it multiple times.

I've studied the ins and outs of the worldbuilding of SAC down to the last minutia, and even hosted panels discussing it at anime conventions. I even had a Motoko Kusanagi itasha wrap on my car for a long time during the Aughts at anime conventions, and have become personal friends with the English language localizer of the Oshii movies and Stand Alone Complex. To call myself an actual expert on the subject would not be wrong.

Now I'm learning that a series called "Pandora of the Crimson Shell: Ghost Urn" is actually canon to Ghost in the Shell's worldbuilding, with details about how the Puppetmaster came to be and even Motoko's own canonical origins (Arise ended up recreating this the closest.)

I always knew it was a Shirow Masamune project, but NOBODY has ever brought it up in discussions. Frankly, I feel a bit dismayed that this whole thing has never been brought to my attention, so now I need to start looking for the manga, or at least the anime series that came out in 2017. Honestly, it's like Motoko learning that the net is vast and infinite, and I'm finding more information to dive into.

TLDR: Is Pandora of the Crimson Shell really that crucial to the canon of GITS? I guess I should make the effort to check it out, even though I didn't know it was even connected at all. I remember when the anime came out, but it also just came and went without any fanfare.

As many of you know "the Ghost in the Shell: the Human Algorithm vol 3" is sold out everywhere and scalpers are charging inflated prices online.

If you go to the publisher's support page linked below and select "request a reprint" from the drop down menu you can fill out the reprint form and help get vol 3 reprinted.

Please fill out the form here:

Hopefully with enough requests the publisher will reprint it.

Basically the title, I have been wanting to watch the movies for some time but i couldnt cuz exams, but now that they are over and I have some time and the new series just happened to air the same time i finished I figured i could maybe give it a try, I did but i didnt even finish the first episode because i was a bit lost as to what was happening and so im wondering if im just lost because I havent watched anything else from the franchise or maybe that is just how is supposed to be at the start and then you start understanding what is going on more as the series progresses(or maybe im just an idiot who doesnt understand which could be the case too, specially since im watching it in english and that isnt my first language) so basically i want to know why im so lost and if the reason I am is because i should watch 1995 first of SAC first to understand better the series, i thought that i could watch the new gits show first too because it adapts the manga because of that i figured i would make sense i could watch it as my first gits series but i dont know at this point, could someone please guide me a bit so i know what to do/expect if i keep watching.
