There was a nice reference to that scene in the Pantheon series: an “uploaded” human (basically an emulated brain with a software human-based avatar) learns he can interact with other pieces of software directly, but can't put his mind to it yet. He does modify his avatars’ fingers in a GitS-like fashion, though, to everyone’s amusement. Pantheon (2022–2023): https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11680642/ https://m.imdb.com/title/tt11680642/

Was just about to mention this also. Pantheon is great! So many tech industry references and parodies...

  Pantheon is so underrated! If you’re a fan of GitS and/or Pantheon, I encourage you and anyone else to check out Psycho-Pass. It really blew me away. It manages to be at once a more gripping police procedural, like GitS, and especially like the spin-off series Stand Alone Complex, and it tries pretty hard to match the philosophical prescience of Pantheon. It also has a lot more humanity, without shying away from the psychological and cybernetic related weirdness that those series share. It also shares a production company with GitS in Production I.G. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho-Pass https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psycho-Pass

    > Pantheon is so underrated! I think it recently came to Netflix, and quickly became extremely popular. Hopefully it won't be underrated for long! Just be aware that Netflix has only the first season of that series which actually already has two seasons, so look for the second season of Pantheon if you enjoyed the first season :) > I encourage you and anyone else to check out Psycho-Pass. It really blew me away. I also really enjoyed the parts of Psycho-Pass that I did watch. Thanks for reminding me that exists :)

      I enjoyed both seasons immensely. I think it’s actually on Amazon Prime in the US, as they acquired the rights to the first season and removed it from AMC+ and HIDIVE, and then produced the second season, iirc. Make sure you get the watch order down for Psycho-Pass. If you’re able, watch the extended edition of season 1, as Crunchyroll makes it appear to simply be another season in their listings, if you use their platform. I just found another similar series via Wikipedia: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_%E2%80%93_Invaded https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Id_%E2%80%93_Invaded Have you heard anything about Id: Invaded?

      https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Express_(film) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mars_Express_(film) > The inspiration for the organic machines and weapons in the film leads back to the director hearing that Google was working on technology for skin cells. This led to the idea that ultimately tech would complete a full circle back to organics, something "close to us, but at the same time, they are monsters." He also tied the replacement of the robots with organics to planned obsolescence, which he wanted to lampoon. That looks pretty cool! The art on the poster reminds me of Mœbius aka Jean Giraud, which makes sense as they’re both French, and Mœbius is world-famous, besides. It’s a shame it’s only a film, though I won’t be too picky! https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Giraud https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jean_Giraud Sort of reminds me of Metallic Rouge? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_Rouge https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metallic_Rouge
