NEWS: Ghost in the Shell Arise Anime to Launch in 2013

I stand corrected.

But SAC is from the now dead Bandai, which means it may never be rescued here unless Manga decides in a million years to get it.

Edit: The DVD of the original GiTS seems to be OOP because Amazon only has 6 left in stock. Manga needs to quit sitting on the license if they aren't printing more.

So any efforts to make us "see" GITS has moe is basically null as an effort to upset us fans, and ends up basically as a huge LOL instead.

Assuming this is going to be good and it does make its way to England and America,
If someone other then Manga Entertainment get the rights, will we still have our old voice actors. Richard Epcar and William Knight have been part of the francise since the first movie plus Crispin Freeman and the brilliant Mary Elizabeth Mcglynn not to mention the original voice actors in Japan. Come to think of it even if Manga Entertainment get it they could change the actors on a whim to suit either the new story changes or the dub directors personal views.

In regards to the new younger look of the major it would be interesting if they are planning to show section 9 earlier on, how the major joined section 9 etc. I just hope to god the new story isn't just an excuse to have the show resolve around some ditzie moe character. There is also the option that after solid state she changed into a younger body.
On a side not it is possiable that she is the puppet master/major hybrid and the story is a continuation of innocence, it was shown at the end of the first movie and the Manga that the hybrid is capable of holding a physical form.

My apologies for rambling, Ghost in the Shell was the first Manga I ever read and Motoko Kusinagi has been a personal hero of mine since I was 12

All they need do is ask them. If they are not already booked to do something else, I can't see why the orginal VAs could not reprise their rolls again.

True, but look at Manga entertainments release of End of Evangelion a number of voice actors wanted to reprise the roles most noticablie fuyutski, Maya and hyuga but the director (original Rei) and Manga entertainment said no

I'll have you know I find the Tachikomas very moe.

Sure, you are free to find moe whatever you want or wherever you wanna see it going by the ambiguous broaden theories and hypotheses of what the hell it is or constitutes.

I can say I find Joe Yabuki from Ashita no Joe --- if you have never hear of it--- very moe, so... your point is? I can also say I could find Seiya or Shun ---from Saint Seiya---- very moe as well, and one can do the same for practically any series.

Its all too different when you speak of the shameless moe pandering which many series, or characters for that matter, have as sole purpose.

Not mentioning GITS, therefore Tachikomas, are from an era where moe while already existed is infinitely different to what it constitute today, not mentioning it was very obscure term that most did not even know about until the boom happened around 2005-2006.

So any efforts to make us "see" GITS has moe is basically null as an effort to upset us fans, and ends up basically as a huge LOL instead.

I just hope to god the new story isn't just an excuse to have the show resolve around some ditzie moe character.

question: When was the last time we saw a less-moe series incorporate moe into a new installment and make the show worse as a result?
