::Ghost in the Shell:: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GiG

The latest and greatest of Japanese Animation. Found something new, or perhaps old and arcane... if it has to do with anime, it goes right here.

looks like the series is picking up steam before the big finish. Just have to wait for LMF to sub the rest of them. :(

That episode was pretty good, I just don't get it that all these cyborg police die just as easily as normal people. Or was that rookie not a cyborg?

Well, whatever, the second season had it's poorer moments, but it seems to be getting better.

Yay, new groups have taken this up. I have no idea where they release from, nor what they are called, but at least I can go on watching this series.

Anyone looking for eps I recommend downloading from Emule/Edonkey at the moment, but I'll search around and see whether I can't find the distro page or irc-room.

Unfortunately the subs aren't half as good as LMF, but it's almost enough to understand what's going on. (Ya, even with perfect subs I'm never too sure with Gits.)

Currently I dled up to 23 subbed, I haven't looked for anything beyond that, simply because my HDD is full once again. Time to burn away some porn.

*Edit* Screw all that, I dled raws of 22 and 23, but I found a source for 20, 21, 22 in one file, which may be subbed :). Look here: http://tracker.gits-fans.com:4487/ */Edit*

Great, I'd almost given up on LMF. Now I'll see whether their subs are better than the ones I have.

Ep. 24 is subbed.

Which means they are still going on. The story has gotten really dramatic now, although in ep. 24 there are some weird scenes.

Teh 25 is out. It continues getting more and more dramatic, even though the creators are really making some weird blunders in their action scenes.

That's just a tracker for different things.

There's an actual LMF page, but I don't know the exact url.

Edit: found it:

Actually i made that post cuz i couldnt access the tracker nor the main site, at the time. When LMF is done with the last episode, it will be on that tracker b4 he updates his website. So i check the tracker first.

Best episode EVAR.

I especially liked the way
[HIGHLIGHT]
they reproduced the beginning of the manga in the end of the episode. And they got their suits and -chikomas from the manga, too (although the fuchikoma of the manga are more yellowish and LMF subbed it as "uchikoma", but they are otherwise more or less identical).

Yes, it's a great final ep.

I'm not sure how much real-life politics went into the ideas for this show. I must say I wasn't a friend of the anti-americanism displayed in the story. Not because I'm offended by it, but because it feels like a fashion right now to display "the Americans" as bad guys.

Nevertheless, a great second season. Now how are the chances for more GitS?


Had to love the scene where Ishikawa knocks out the guy in the car.

Plus that Tachikoma song was really powerful for me, for some reason.
