Ghost in the Shell SAC_2045

I have loved the entire Ghost in the Shell franchise since the start (manga).

Purchasing not only GitS material but also work from Masamune Shirow.

To say I was excited for this series is an understatement at best.When the trailers appeared I became worried of what they will do considering the CG. Sadly this series is about what you think it will be.

Gun combat appears fine if you get past the CG while any hand to hand scenes are awkward and goofy feeling.

The only plus I give is the spoken audio, they did a wonderful job getting I believe the entire GitS SAC voice cast to return. While the video of them speaking is cringy at best if you close your eye's and listen, great experience.

Overall this series makes me very sad, I was able to give Arise a somewhat of a pass but this. . . this has gone to far. Had this series been animated in the traditional more grungy style it would have been great.

The CGI art style just looks weird and cheap. Major looks like a doll. CGI anime can be done well too (I liked the Appleseed movies). Story is mostly okay, although it takes a while to get started. There is potential, if they could improve the art style and develop the story further.

The amount of negativity on this anime is downright disgusting, unreasonable, & unfair. So many 2D purists out there that rate it 1/10 just because the anime is 3D CGI style. The story & aesthetic actually great, one of the best CGI animation so far.

Story: 7 Art: 8 sound:8 character: 8 enjoyment: 8 overall: 8

In any case, this is recommended for GiTS fans or overall Cyberpunk fandom. The full CGI aesthetic might be something new, but it's not hard to get into like other anime & the animation actually pretty superb.

the story basically the continuation of GiTS SAC & Arise, with both series has its own easter eggs scenes if anyone look it hard enough. Major & friends basically now hired as a mercenary unit, the former members of Japan's elite Section 9 are faced with the sudden appearance of "Post-Human," a being with tremendous intelligence and physical capabilities. Plenty of intrigues in the new US territory.

The animation does not work for me. It looks creepy and rushed. Other than that the characters and writing are as good as always. Missed the magical Yoko Kanno soundtrack as well. 10 for the content 4 for animation style and quality. 7/10 at best

Watched the first episode (will update after the seasons is finished) Now I am a very big fan of the GITS franchise and this was not what I wat hoping for. The CGI cartoons feel very, very cheep and lazy. The thick black outlines makes it even worse. Body movement used to be a visual "ballet", now it looks weird. They probably used a lot of motion capture to make it look "more real" when in fact it doesn't with cartoons. Only a great story can save this show a little bit but the visuals so are very disappointing and hard to watch. For some reason they shrunk down the tachikoma's as well for some reason. Like they miscalculated the dimensions because the rest of the design is not upgraded. Very sloppy.
