movie was good

Watch the original two animated movies, then watch the Stand Alone Complex series (which is set in a different universe, keep in mind), and then never bother with the live action movie.

That is the best way to experience it.

?

Try going to reddit. Appearently that is the board that actually discusses television and film.

The original movie is extremely overrated. It has great animation but as a film it sucks. Its literally eye candy scene, followed by boring exposition dumps, followed by eye candy scene, repeat.
The second movie works slightly better as a film but it has CG shit and doesn't look as good as the first
Only watch Stand Alone Complex if you want a very dry crime TV drama.
The live action movie looks nice but is vapid
Really you should just read the manga

Don't watch either just watch the series.

t. weeb
It was utter shite. Unwatchable. One of the rare movies I just turned off and never wondered at all what happened.

/thread

Don't watch GitS 2.0 by accident, it's a shitty remaster of the original.

>it was shit
>I didn't watch it
when will people stop doing this?

skip holywad movie

>I need to see the whole thing to know it was shit
It's time to stop posting.

With the replies here, I probably just watch a different movie

>I don't need to see the full picture to know it's shit
how are you breathing?

don't bother with the movie, scarlett johansson is like a weird squat bland baby and it is awful

>he watches every frame closely
>weighs and analyzes the lighting, texture, color, posture of the actors, and the deep meaning of each syllable uttered
>for free

Good idea, watch Akira if you want a nicely animated anime movie. Watch Under the Skin if you want to see Scarlett Johnasson naked

Stick to superhero movies.

>I saw the corner of a painting
>I know the whole painting is bad
So that Wojak a self portrait?

The "cartoon" is a film that just happens to be anime. The adaptation is just Hollywood schlock capitalizing on previous work and starlets (Scarjo) - don't even bother with it.

user, I must have really hurt your feelings. I guess for you a sub-capeshit-tier trash film made for Asian dicklets to jack off too is too good to miss ever second of. I'm sorry. To make it up to you, I send you a dakimakura of your favorite pony.

This. Shirow's manga is the best version of GitS, although I liked SAC.

OP, original animated movie and Stand Alone Complex series one are the best this franchise has to offer. The rest if filler including the live action film!!!FACT!!!

don't listen to any of these shit taste retards itt
watch the Arise ovas and movie only

>The original movie is extremely overrated
I agree, but not for the reasons you state.I think people grossly overrate it without really understanding it.
>Its literally eye candy scene
Which is absolutely great in a film.
>followed by boring exposition dumps
Only if you're not invested in the film's universe, which is your own problem.
>The second movie works slightly better as a film but it has CG shit and doesn't look as good as the first
Innocence is more like a coda to GiTS. It's okay, but I honestly wouldn't recommend it to anybody unless they REALLY like GiTS as a whole. The novel, After The Long Goodbye, is fucking incredible, though. Innocence is redundant material once you've read the novel. And yes, Innocence looks dated. Some neat visuals, though.
>Only watch Stand Alone Complex if you want a very dry crime TV drama.
Yes and no. The first season is incredibly dry for sure, but 2nd Gig is some of the best TV out there.
>Really you should just read the manga
Again this is something I wouldn't recommend unless the person really likes the universe of GiTS.

Just watch the live action only weebs dislike it

Yup. Watch the original movies and possibly the series and forget that the live action is a thing.

1. Ghost in the Shell 1995
2. Ghost in the Shell Innocence (this is divisive, I think it's great)
3. Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex

Ignore the rest

these guys know what their talking about

Watch the Animated film first, then the live action

The Original is great imo and the live action just... meh

Then maybe you can reply to me:

what do you want me to reply to?
this?
>this is something I wouldn't recommend unless the person really likes the universe of GiTS
sure, i guess. i figure user already had an interest if he/she is asking the question.

Checked.
Guess I should be more specific. WHen I say I wouldn't recommend the manga unless they really like GiTS, that's because the manga can be off-putting. The wacky expressions, gratuitous sex, etc. I definitely wouldn't say the manga is the best version. The films' portrayal of 2501's ascension is leagues above the manga's in tone, atmosphere, sound design, coloring, blocking, etc.

It was okay, aside from being completely void of substance.

if user has an interest he/she would have seen the films, anime, and live action before investing any time in the manga. but i stand by my previous post in agreeing that the manga is the best thing gits.

>cartoon

def the cartoon so you can see how hollywood shits on good stuff to "normalize it" and reduce the complexity and nuance of the anime

>nuance
>anime

fucking neck yourself you dumb weeb.

Watch the original then the irl version. Anyone who says the original is bad is wrong.

1st movie is good even though there are a few scenes that just fucking drag

2nd movie is a pretentious slog and the entire thing drags

The tv series is good.

1st movie is the most kino, 2nd is alright, series is solid

watch the first, then here's a good analysis to help appreciate it youtube.com/watch?v=l9v8FzQ2btg

SAC
2nd GIG
Arise

Everything else will leave you disappointed.

live action movie is underrated as fuck, but I wouldn't put it in the top 5 films of 2017.

REMINDER THAT GHOST IN THE SHELL RIPPED OFF BLADE RUNNER AND EVERYTHING IT HAD TO SAY ABOUT HUMAN CONSCIOUSNESS AND WRAPPED IT UP IN AN ANIME FOR WEEBS.

Im watching the live action right now on nightshift and its not so bad. Its not great but I havent seen the anime movie yet so I got nothing to compare it to.

Literally never ever watch the scarjo movie.

Some anime has nuance. Some doesn't.

...

kino cyberpunk

Akira
Blade Runner
Blade Runner 2049
Cowboy Bebop
Dredd
Ghost in the Shell
Matrix, The
Serial Experiments Lain

Just the live action movie. It was made for your kind.
