Just watched Ghost In The Shell. Damn good shit for a chinese cartoon. Also made me realize the remake is definitely going to be shit, and if it's going to be its own thing, it will be shit as well.
Get ready to me meme'd on son redditors hate anime on this board, but I loved it.
You might want to check the series(s), they've got difference pace and feel, but you'll still get a good itch from it.
Justin Harris
OP here, I'm not fan of anime as well but I liked this. Good pacing (very movie like), interesting philosophical shit, and it looked very pretty. Mushi mushi, sue me faggots.
Nolan Scott
Greatest cyberpunk movie ever made.
Angel Powell
i love it and though not entirely on the same level as the movie, every sequel and series is also entertaining
Cameron Butler
it is a masterpiece. anyone who disagrees needs to die
Dylan Martinez
This movie is shit, akira is a thousand times better.
Josiah Cruz
I got a chance to go to the pre-screening of the remake and it was actually alright.
Ayden Lewis
Give us the info on Michael Pitt is he actually laughing man?
Owen Walker
I didn't like it, the plot was non-existent, the cyberpunk theme is pretty stupid, visuals sucked dick in the 90s, suck dick now, overall it was garbage and only complete weeaboos who cocksuck all over japan can like it, but definitely not someone with an actual taste.
Why is so many android coming to life shit nowadays? also Blade Runner 2 is coming
Noah Hill
I absolutely love it. The museum scene sends chills down my spine every time, especially with that sublime music.
Cameron Gomez
is Batou as shit as he look on the leak shots?
Blake Howard
Why GITS 2 is so shit? It's an Oshii thing?
Aaron Richardson
>(very movie like) thats how a real anime should be, but as it looks even on Sup Forums they only like the crap.
Adam White
It's an Oshii thing. Too many of his films get lost in unnecessary pretentiousness.
Still, Patlabor 2 and GitS are some of my favourite anime films. Sometimes he can hit the mark.
Josiah Evans
god that looks so sexy as fuck. I fucking hate how anime is now dependent on CGI. Lazy fucks
Leo Watson
Apples and oranges.
I love that movie.
Owen Miller
This and Blade Runner are the ONLY good cyberpunk movies in the entire cinema
But cyberpunkino is coming back with GitS Live action and Blade Runner 2049
Thomas Johnson
come on you cunt you did this last time too
Xavier Jenkins
I don't give a fuck what this hairy, putrid /reddit/'s asshole place thinks of GitS. It's one of my favourite kinos of all time
>can't not back up >can't not gb2 school little fagglet.
Jonathan Perry
>implying you can't (not) back it up
Christian Gray
This movie is fucking art, and the live action one will suck all the atmosphere out of it.
Hudson Baker
I liked Avalon and Angel's Egg too Should I watch the red spectacles?
Chase Williams
futurism is kind of the meme now
Andrew Bennett
>The remake will be fine aesthetically which is what matters most. Hush hush, Marvel is that way >>> you dick sucker
Christian Brooks
do i need to watch the series?
Noah Gray
>does Sup Forums like it
yes of course we do, but who cares, when a movie is such blatant kino it doesnt even need the recognition of such a degenerate band of whackos
Ian Turner
No.
Caleb Bailey
Since you're here(every fucking day) does that mean you're a redditor too and so is this movie?
John Rodriguez
I enjoyed both of those movies too actually, but they're not as well rounded.
I can't say, but I saw Jin Roh a while ago and quite enjoyed it.
The series and OVA/movies are a separate timeline.
David Robinson
Red Spectacles is live action, but yeah. Don't get thrown off by the opening sequence. They play with styles a bit, and the opening samurai-type hack and slash does not last outside of that scene.
Pic related is what is looks like most of the time. There's some nice throw-backs to japanese theater as well.
It's a movie with a decent bit of depth that explains itself at the end. It's my go-to for introducing people to "serious cinema" because of that. >pause the movie before the reveal >ask a few leading questions like "why are some scenes in color and others in black and white?" >play the ending
It's good. Jin-Roh, the Wolf Brigade, is the animated one you've probably seen webms of.
Ian Ross
If you like Ghost In The Shell I highly recommend the first two Patlabor films.
The first is a bit lighter in tone, but still packs a punch. The second one is the one you'll want however, it's basically the Director's practice-run for Ghost In The Shell, which he'd release a few years later. Frankly I think the second one is overrated, but there's no denying its similarities to GiTS' style
>Still, Patlabor 2 and GitS are some of my favourite anime films. Mein Neger! Red Sectacles is rather meh. Watch Jin-Roh instead.
Samuel Morales
>I don't give a fuck what this hairy, putrid /reddit/'s asshole place >posts here Weeaboos everyone. Go choke on a cock and go back to Sup Forums.
Parker Lee
Do you have any webms of Jin Roh, by the way?
Tyler Bailey
No its a childish version of Neuromancer and an even plebbier Johnny Mnemonic
Nicholas Sanchez
This my man right here.
Austin Wright
>back to Sup Forums He wishes. he's a fucking Sup Forumseditor at best
Adam James
Kenji Kawai is the reason those films hold up so wel.
Jordan Edwards
>the remake is definitely going to be shit We don't know that
>if it's going to be its own thing, it will be shit as well You're trying too hard to fit in.
GitS as an original property spans a wide range of taste. What most people agree upon is that it has a great musical score and the occasionally good action sequence. I have a hard time defending the long-winded philosophical discussions.
A live action film may actually improve the material.
Easton Foster
Yeah, but only of the ending. I'll link the training sequence instead, since it doesn't spoil anything.
>I have a hard time defending the long-winded philosophical discussions. Are we talking GitS or Innocence here?
Jaxon King
It's OK I've seen it before, just spoiler them or something.
Angel Long
okay
Andrew Wood
>implying Sup Forums's taste in anime isn't just flavour of the month/season faggotry just like Sup Forums If you actually want somewhat decent recommendation about anime you NEVER FUCKING EVER ask Sup Forums about it. Same goes for Sup Forums and movies or Sup Forums for music or Sup Forums for video games, etc. It's bizzare as fuck that the respective boards suck the hardest when it comes to their specific topic.
Connor Adams
>If you actually want somewhat decent recommendation about anime you NEVER FUCKING EVER ask Sup Forums about it. Yeah because all the entry level garbage you're looking for is plastered on their wikis rec page just like Sup Forums
I liked gits 2 because it had a bro coop noir feel to it and some amazing animation, but yeah the philosophy quotes sucked.
Ayden Torres
It seems I triggered a bunch of Reddit fagglets today. Why don't you fuck off back to your cunny and reddit game of shit generals? Here are adults who want to have a proper discussion about animation and film.
Jace Gutierrez
Not him, but the discussions at the end of the first movie (the last 10-15 minutes) are quite tedious, it felt like Oshii had to spell out the themes of the movie for us. The rest of the movie is fine. Innocence is basically quotes: the anime.
Jack Price
Kawai is fucking great. He's the only reason I can stomach Fate/Stay Night 2006 as well.
Aaron Howard
Though I like Innocence because of the whole buddy cop thing, but it's also tedious at times.
Kevin Lee
Avalon is such a cringe movie when you watch it as a native polish speaker.
Luke Howard
That's what made Avalon watchable to me.
This basically sums up how I feel on the matter, yeah.
Nicholas Torres
What a great fucking movie this was.
I read on here that this dude's stuff isn't rotoscoped. He's just very, very good.
Brandon Lopez
Yes Sorry I always catch these threads before o clock in
Connor Lee
DONT ever tell me when I'm mad and when I'm not you piece of shit! looks like it was spot on
Asher Parker
Why don't you fuck off back to Sup Forums, weeaboo? >anime >adults wew lad
Parker Hill
Maybe your just stupid. It takes very high IQ to get GITS. I got it
Dominic Hernandez
>Ghost In The Shell >Damn good shit
You failed the test, OP.
Caleb Williams
Yeah. Pure rotoscoping actually leads to shitty animation, despite the appearance of it. There are things you might see human actors do that just don't translate into 2D. They need a bit of exaggeration via animation principles somewhere to sell the motion as genuine.
I don't know how to link specific tumblr posts, but scroll down until you see the "Giselle getting out of her carriage video" jbaxteranimator.tumblr.com/ The animator here, John Baxter, is one of the top 2D animators around. Applied to Roger Rabbit straight out of school and got in. Senior animator for Spirit as well.
Call me a nitpicker but it's pretty annoying to see the bullets make enormous holes in the concrete behind the man but not completely decimate the man to pieces.
Jackson Rodriguez
well concrete is brittle and will fracture which makes the hole look a lot bigger
Hudson Moore
I'm playing Voyage to Avalon at my mom's funeral and there's nothing you can do about it.
Easton Williams
A concrete column holding a bridge will be more brittle than skin and bones and cartilage and various tissue? I know I'm nitpicking, I actually have been meaning to watch The Wolf Brigade for a while now, but c'mon just make his lung pop out the other side. Especially when he takes the one bullet in the head.
Julian Thompson
I think youre confusing brittle with strong, organs and skin are soft, they wont break away like concrete does, also hes wearing a large coat so you cant really see what his body looks like
Nicholas Foster
The bullets penetrate his soft body and remain relatively intact, they practically explode when they hit the concrete, so the holes are larger
Grayson Price
>tfw Avalon (The game) will never be real
Jaxon Gonzalez
Ahh that makes sense. Thank you. The headshot still but otherwise yeah.
This too. Thank you.
Owen Cox
Real talk though: the (presumably) 8mm Mauser rounds will tear a body up. This is a blue board, but you can dig stuff up easily enough from liveleaks.
>get hit twice in the upper arm >one hits the bone, and the other tears enough meat off that the arm is hanging by a threat It's nasty 2bh.
I'm assuming they didn't do that in Jin-Roh due to graphic violence laws, similar to robocop, but I don't know Jap laws and Ichi the killer exists.
Brandon Roberts
I've often thought that there was a great game to be had with this concept. You hang about in these miserable black and white hubs trying to earn enough dosh to play the real hero in glorious VR.
