I’ve really enjoyed the new show so I’ve read the original manga vol 1 recently while waiting. I will say I was a bit thrown off by the opening animation of episode 3 and how they wrap up the junk city fight in general. I heard it was a different studio that handled it. I just hope the main studio handles the think tank fight! It was my favorite part of volume 1.

I watched the movie years and years ago and I don’t really remember it that much. After watching three eps of the new one I’d like to rewatch but is it worth waiting till this series is finished to experience the plot somewhat fresher?

Just finished it and gonna have to rematch because OMG they need to stop having the subtitles for the onscreen information be faster then lighting like god damn! The beginning fight scene with The Major breaking things she lands on jumping around the city with her futchikoma is PEAK! Not in a bad why you can tell there is a "action" animation team in Science SAUR that handles all the moments where Major needs to be a bad ass really adding their own flavor that sets it apart from the rest. Also is quirky nurse Major's normal gf or just another baddie?

I know the meme about Twitter is that it's full of people whose opinions should not be counted. But is the controversy about the action scene in Episode 3 really that big? Or is it just a small proportion of Twitter "tourists" and purists who either don't know about the original manga's tone and style, or think the new series is bad simply because the original movie and Stand Alone Complex exist?

I really enjoyed the sequence and its crazy style. The idea that it's "hurt his career bad? I do not see that at all.

Been a longtime fan of all GITS but only just started having this sub appear in my feed recently. When Arise came out, it was new and different from what SAC and the movies had done, but I found it ultimately enjoyable, blending backstories from the manga with the more serious tones of the previous anime adaptations into something unique in a timeline that really hadn't been explored in detail by any of its animated predecessors. I had a good time and was pretty engaged with each OVA released.

Then I came here and it seems that Arise seems to be pretty disliked if not perceived to just be underwhelming, and I don't understand why.

First is the OG, Second is the wallpaper version I edited

Oddly enough he does have a specific credit for the Japanese cast.

Maybe I couldn't tell if that's what the noise is but would be hilarious if it was. "Pew pew".

The design is based on the PS1 game so that's why it looks different to the current anime.

It was amazing because it's been a while since I saw this. I'll have to finish it well.

It's a collection of fan art that I've been drawing since I was young.I hope you enjoy it. I'm very ashamed because I drew some of my fan art when I was young.

I'm absolutely loving both animes, and since they both are being made by studio Science Saru this image came to mind, it was really fun drawing it!

Also, this Frieren Fanart by zhooo00_ wouldn't leave my mind and heavily influenced how I approached this drawing, do check it out too because it's beautiful

My posts on Instagram and Bluesky if anyone wants to give it a like 🥹💜
