AFAIK Sac is not a sequel nor a closer adaptation, but an alternative timeline.
I grew up with the original movie that I watched at the cinema and never developed a strong attachment to Sac for that reason, it is good, but IMO it's not better than Oshii's version, on the contrary it lacks the poetics and the dreamlike aspects of the 1995 work.
p.s. Oshii also directed "Urusei Yatsura Onrī Yū?" which is IMO the best Urusei Yatsura movie even though it doesn't closely follow the manga, exactly because of Oshii talent with the dreamy stuff.
- gpderetta 3y agoI like SAC (and to a lesser extent SAC:2) as much as the Movie, but they are very different. They are some of the best cyberpunk in any medium. I think the manga, while decent, is inferior to both. Edit: and yes, they are all separate universes.
- The_suffocated 3y agoAgree. My impression is that the anime movies are more about the philosophy of “self”, while SAC is more about sociology and politics. I like SAC slightly more than the movies, but it was the first Ghost in the Shell movie that transcended the manga to a masterpiece.
- CobaltFire 3y agoPatlabor 2 is another absolutely amazing Oshii film. Really overlooked compared to some of his others IMO.
- glandium 3y agoI don't remember much Only you, but aren't you talking about Beautiful Dreamer (which I would say is the best Urusei Yatsuta movie)?
- peoplefromibiza 3y agoyou're right of course, beautiful dreamer is the best urusei yatsura movie :)
