This whole Gits vs Matrix thing reminds of off another Movie I watched
around the same time.  (And it came out around the same time as well - 1997)

Perfect Blue

Went into this expecting nothing.  Came out amazed.  Loved this movie and
pretty much everything Satoshi Kon made afterwards.

It had the same similarities between itself made and the Black Swan
movie.  With some scenes being "copied" frame for frame apparently etc.

Very similar themes and setting with performance pressure in show business
etc.

Cant comment on the details since I havent actually watched Black Swan.

I recommend Perfect Blue to anybody who hasnt seen it.

Random google image ftw

Well they already have the "nude" building dive scene.

They dont seem to be doing the nipple thing so unless she is getting
upgraded during the show you will have settle for smooth boobs.

Not sure what age its rated for.

Also I dont give Gits 1 a meh...  I liked and and thought it was good.
Its just that I was prepared at the time to get my mind blown due to hype
and people recommending it everywhere.

Was expecting 10 going out.  Felt like an 8 going out.

If I watched 7+ years earlier when it came out(Before The Matrix) it would
have probably blown my mind.

Gits live action better have the scene where the major gets her tits out
and rips her arms off trying to peel open a tachikoma.

Kak styles.

Not horribly priced.

R7300 if you have nothing.

R6500 if already have the camera and move controllers  (I hope the bigger
bundle includes controllers as well)

Essentially half price if compare to Rift & Vive with their controllers

Ive never read the Manga.

I personally was never that impressed by the original GITS movie...  but
thats probably because I only watched it years later.  The concepts/ideas
werent new to me anymore.  That it was hyped till the end of the earth.

Was expecting to get my mind blown...  got a good movie instead.

Was somewhere between 2002-2004 ish.  Only started watching anime-related
stuff 2002 and after.

I prefer the 1st season of Stand Alone Complex.

The gits anime seem to be doing their own things each iteration either
way.  (Still need to watch Arise myself)

Dont mind the movie doing things differently.  Hopefully different doesnt
turn into stupid/bad...  unfortunately with Hollywood that is pretty big
possibility.

The thing about GITS that many people don't realise is that the anime
takes liberties.  It's darker than the original manga.  I don't know if
this movie is going to be based on the movie, manga, or it's own
adaptation.  I can't say I liked what I saw in the trailer if I compare it
to the movie, but maybe I'll be pleasantly surprised.  The original movie
is in some ways better than the manga after all.

As long it keeps the essence of it. Similar to Marvel movies. It's find to
introduce Hawkeye in Thor 1 as a cameo working for Shield. It's NOT ok to
say Hawkeye flies and wields a shield killing aliens.

Started as a discussion at the session.  We were talking about which games
should be part of the next tournament.  I figured the only way to find out
is to have a survey about it.  Then I just started adding in more questions
to get an idea of what our local FGC looks like.
