I can't expect the Hollywood adaptation to live up to the original. But, what I've seen in the trailers looks good and I plan on watching the movie when it comes out. It looks like it will be a very fun romp through the theme.
For those looking for a heavily philosophical take: obviously watch the original movie, then GITS:2 Innocence and the TV series GITS: Stand Alone Complex.
The 2nd movie is more a work of art than a film. If you watch it, you'll need to have the patience to appreciate that.
The TV series was written by people who wanted a cop drama that happened to feature cyborgs. Not the other way around. Appreciate that and you'll find a lot of interesting ideas presented in a cartoon. I still hold that GITS:SAC presents a better understanding of the Anonymous phenomenon than most techies have today.
- FrankenPC 10y agoGITS 2 took some patience. Totally different movie. GITS 1 blew my mind like Akira did.
- kriro 10y agoI really like GITS: Stand Alone Complex. It's probably the best animated series I have watched (the other one that comes to mind, while quite different, would be Batman The Animated Series). Edit: I'd love some cyberpunk-style recommendations (comic books, series). What I really want is some sort of corporate dystopia, similar to the Android:Netrunner universe (I've read those books they were decent but not great) or close to Blade Runner. Ideally with some noir elements. Where's that semantic search engine when you need it :D
