[Episode] THE GHOST IN THE SHELL • Koukaku Kidoutai: THE GHOST IN THE SHELL - Episode 2 discussion

While not as explicit as the manga, they actually adapted the usually removed pages of Junk Jungle. I did not expect that.

Really enjoying the show so far. Being very faithful to the manga helps setting it apart from the previous adaptations.

Is it too early to call this a contender for Anime of the season? I like it more with each minute. Hopefully that equalizer won't cause any harm down the line. Heh.

It seems they are doing a 1:1 adaptation of the manga chapters. The only major difference in style I noticed is the toned down gore. Like in the first episode when the bodyguards shoot at the police.

I get the feeling this is going to be an expertly done (scientifically done, even) mash up of all the versions so far, except for the ones that definitely don't exist. >.>

I realized today that episode two was out and I was actually excited about an anime for the first time in a long while.

I love the post credits artwork, in fact I’d love a hard copy of so much of this season so far.

I’m appreciating that they aren’t cutting the lesbianism but toning down the fanservice

Idk about everyone else, but I think I preferred the van scene with Togusa over the movie

I love the art style so much! It’s kind of nice to have a change from the usual always self serious tone GitS has.
