I love the Ghost in the Shell movie, but I've always felt it would have been more entertaining if it was a little more faithful to the manga (Fuchikomas, a sense of humor, and a more feminine "Shirow" design for Kusanagi). Well, based on the scant few pictures on IG's new site, the GITS TV series is gonna be just that. Looks great...can't wait!

I love the GitS movie just as it is. Which IMHO is basically an "art movie", not an "entertainment movie". It isn't even really a GitS movie, more like a Mamoru Oshii movie based on the world of GitS.

But now that TV series... this one looks like a fan-pleaser Wink
From what I've seen on that website I get the feeling that it's going to be cool, slick, sexy and action-packed. And you know you can't go wrong with *anything* that Production IG is involved in. This is going to kick so much ass!

Hi.

Personally I am a great fan of GitS movie and manga, but I regard them as separate productions. The anime was more (in my opinion) like a means of creating a certain mood, going together with manga but striding a bit from the path. Anyway I found the character creation and plot more entertaining in the manga than in the anime. IMHO the anime characters were a bit "stiff", whereas the manga being serious, had more complex plot and side plot, and had as well many funny gags incorporated into it and the characters were alive. Quarreling, having dilemas, drinking, joking etc. Generally I'd say that if the TV series will be like the manga it will rule, but that doesn't mean that GitS the movie is in any way crappy. :)

I assume this is going to be in Japan. Any shot of it making an American channel. Maybe Encore Action?
