Meh, your GPU is more expensive, and doesn't last as long.

Don't have space to even pose such beauty, I have 2-3 other big display figurines that needs to come out of box once I have my own place lol.

Just finished rewatching GITS:SAC after years. Too bad from what I heard Arise doesn't meet the quality of its predecessors.

They use this track only once or twice but when they do it hits hard:

I saw somewhere that the next Gits will have more western style of animation. Either way it doesn't look too good for the franchise

There's that CGI trailer but it completely fails at facial expressions.

SAC's soundtrack has to be one of my favorites ever. And that's exactly it... just so many awesome little moments that perfectly set the tone. Yoko Kanno is really good for that. I know she likes to delve into the ethos of the stuff she works on. Everything she does is different and carries the spirit of whatever it's meant to compliment. You just know when you see her on the bill that you're gonna be in for some more of those incredible moments where the music almost makes the whole thing.

Hate to say, I don't have a lot of faith in the franchise anymore, though. I cashed out after Arise, which actually wasn't bad, but kinda marks when it seemed to drift from its core identity and become just another boring, superficial action sci-fi. A far cry from the unforgivingly cerebral and stylish cyberpunk opus that encompasses the old movies right up to 2nd gig. Props to them for actively trying to sell more anime to the west... but gits is one of the few that we like exactly as it already is! Just make more of that and we'll buy it! That aside, there is so much material already there that's never been touched... they keep doing this 'new and improved' thing with it and I don't understand it.

Yeah that's it. I sure hope that they put more effort into this. I'm ok with CGI elements in anime but going full on requires an extremely high level of skill and experience to make it look right.

john_ · Jan 5, 2020

Wow... this is a new anime? This looks more like a nice efford from 2005 or something.

Ahhzz · Jan 5, 2020

Just finished the season of Demon Slayer, Kimetsu no Yaiba, looking forward to the movie release to continue the story. Very tempted to look for the Manga just to see how far the anime strayed from the path. Enjoyed it

Working my way thru Blue Exorcist right now, enjoying it as well

As much i like SAC OST and Yoko Kano's work, Kenji Kawai is a different monster when it comes to traditional Japanese music and soundtracks as a whole.
Cant imagine one fan who wouldnt get goosebumps experiencing this

You can notice the crazy drumer and how cool Kenji looks himself, i mean when was the last time a composer played with his orchestra?
Inner Universe, is probably my fav SAC song too btw...

Definitely this. I was so sad when she died. She was a foreigner living in Japan. can't have been an easy life.

This should have been used at the intro video in the live-action movie, but they left it at the end which is fine...
Kenji Kawai and the film as a whole made the film actually alright *with exception of them including the 5-10minute scene of justifying why shes in a caucasian body and not japanese body, remove this and the film would of been ranked higher than alright to me*

You're thinking of Origa, the singer.

Sybaris_Caesar · Jan 6, 2020

Watching Welcome to Demon School Iruma-kun! atm. Kinda like the facial expressions. Though inadvertently wanted or not I'm still watching technically an isekai show.

biffzinker · Jan 6, 2020

Anyone here watch Black Clover?

dcf-joe · Jan 7, 2020

I decided to get back into watching anime here and there.

I watched the first season of My Hero Academia and I just haven't felt compelled to start the second season. I then discovered The Seven Deadly Sins and I can not get enough of that show so far, but I am only nearing the end of the first season.

Its a typical shounen story. Takes a while to get into it.

Hold on, they're about to ruin Cowboy Bebop for us too?

yeah, I've been avoiding any info about that if I can. I really enjoyed (original anime) GitS, but Bebop and Trigun hold special places for me. I love Scarlett, but I really don't want them to get the same treatment as Ghost....

Scooping if we have any good series this season.
