Is Automata the GITS of video games?

Is Automata the GITS of video games?

Overrated shit that people pretend to like and say they understand all the obscure philosophical quotes and such? Yes.

Idk I liked the ass

No.
Did you just want an excuse to show that fanart?

It's the Virgin Soul of video games.

Because they both have high school level philosophizing?

Yes.

is this because of the robot porn

Without dat ass, There isn't much left.

It's the Nier: Automata of video games

In which way are they thematically similar outside of some very general transhumanism?

A bit. GIST is more in reality though. So it has social commentary relevant to present day society (and the upcoming decades). Some of the themes overlap, but they're still pretty different. Automata is very focused on the abstract and on a few characters.

We all did.

What's that one actually good song from SAC?

It's more like original Nier is the GITS manga of video games.
Automata is the SAC of video games because it's more generic and appealing to normal-fags.

>Inner Universe and Rise are in the show

Come on, you know there's more than one good song.

Shit comparison. The Major is not for lewding, unlike that glorified sexbot you posted.

Not even close, deus ex would be a better example for a vidya gits.

What is the Man-Machine Interface of videogames?

>The Major is not for lewding
Oh really

>not lewding the Major

>SAC having bad music
you cannot have this bad of taste

Completely unsexy.

...

>philosophizing level
I don't get why people ever think of philosophy like that. Maybe it has to do with the way it is being taught. They think you learn about philosophy they way you learn about anything else. Like philosophy is just a bunch of things that you know. As opposed to the ability to think as philosophers do. Which for the most part is not something you acquire by studying, but by actively questioning your own ideas and preconceptions. And experience generally help a lot with that.
It's a good thing to learn of other people's ideas as they'll serve as example of philosophical thinking, and they will help you understand other people's ideas, and they might be enlightening by themselves, and they might help you develop your own ideas, etc.
But knowing of them is far from being the end of a particular topic. You can keep on pondering on these ideas, connecting them to other ideas, trying to reorganize them, etc.
What I love with Automata is that it makes you *experience* something deeply philosophical. And it'll do so while engaging your emotions.
And I'm not saying learning of philosophy in a formal manner isn't good, it's a really, really good thing, but it does not replace experiences altogether.

Still one of the best asses in anime.

and what is deep philosophy to you my cultured individual?

No because there's no westernized version.

are you in high school?

>muh books

Meant to post this version.

Don’t get me wrong, she is fucking sexy.

But I can’t fap to a female character I genuinely respect.

Alright. I'm gonna start a Major folder.
That's fucked up user.

nice copy pasta

>Is Automata the GITS of video games?
no, deus ex is

That part was weird. It just came out of nowhere and nothing like it showed up again.

I'm still mad.

not really, the mangaka likes to draw porn

iirc he has some horse x human series rn

Yeah I know, I've read a lot of his porn. It was just weird to me after seeing the movies and the TV show, seeing that all of a sudden in the manga and then never again. The only fanservice I remember after that is the nurse/techs in their lingerie uniforms.

It's the nietzsche if video games. It transcends vidya as a medium and is one of few pieces of media across all venues (theatre,film etc) that can really be classified as art. Its impact on the medium isn't truly understood yet but it will undoubtedly shape the future of video games as we know them. Truly patrician vidya.

I don't think it has any bad songs.

Maybe you're thinking of Torukia?

Only the first book is any good anyways. The second book was hot garbo

I can't even remember the second one. I remember getting bored and stopping at some point.

>female
>respect
pick one

Man-Machine interface had a couple shots, one of some black soldier getting fucked by a bigger black soldier, and in the end of "Motoko" getting tentacle raped.

This is the only factual statement.

>implying your birth sex is relevant when you're essentially 2% organic tissue.

I like the disclaimer in newer editions of the printed version of book 2(i think thats where it was) where author flat out says "yeah this isnt a continuation of book 1, its just the major getting into some new bullshit here and there, no i dont care that people didnt like it at first"

>shit talking based Yoko Kanno
There isnt just one good song, faggot.

what the name of that symphonic song with all the internet and typing sounds? I have the OST but it's all in moon runes.

Is Automata like opera? I'm not sure what opera is but it feels like it.

just copy and paste it into google translate

It’s rare, but it happens.

I think the Major and Teresa from Claymore are the shining examples. I find them both beautiful but also think it would be a disservice to the character to be used as fap material.

I’m not trying to say that *you* shouldn’t, only that *I* don’t.

Is this a pasta?
TOO BAD IT IS NOW!

I'd have to copy it from my player back to my drive it's all squares and formatting symbols. Just wondering if anyone knew it off the top of their head. I know all bebop's off the top of my head just not gits.

>ad hominem

>Nierfaggots only comeback is a meme

How sad

It's gotta be in the top 10.

The GITS game is dying.

Is it true that she used to be a man before she got cyborgified?

No.

in all fairness SAC and GitS is pitched at teenagers hence all the identity crisis related stuff. So a lot of references to classic lit and philosophy would seem sophomoric to us. Would probably seem more complex to people who didn't have as much casual exposure to western philosophy. Same can be said of their shit really Project Itoh would probably shatter some western minds but they'd probably shrug it off as juvenile.

Nothing is 100% explained but you can be sure of 2 things. 1)Motoko (is both a boys and a girls name in japan) 's first prosthetic body was female.
2)they were a virgin before they were cyberized

It's canon that she was always female.
