Ghost in The Shell

[Low]

Wicked City was/is pretty terrible. That was anime #2 for me after Ninja Scroll. It mostly just left me confused.

That about sums it up. Hypnotic vagina woman didn't register to my sheltered 12 year old mind.

Loved the first Ghost in the Shell movie, still haven't a clue what the hell Innocence was about.

A Philosophy 101 textbook fell open to a random page, GitS Innocence was born.

Man, anime was pretty great back before cartoon network and it was just another supply of weird movies. I remember going to the video store and renting robot carnival and the toxic crusader.

Anime used to freak me the fuck out. I didn't know what it was, all I knew was that they were these weird super violent cartoons. I used to look at the back of the box art at the video store and back away slowly (Akira, Urotsukidoji, La Blue Girl I remember distinctly.)

My father had this friend, really weird guy. Did a lot of drugs in the day and it left his mind totally fried. I remember running into him at the video store and he tried to convince my dad as to how awesome Urotsukidoji was. I was like... 8 and I rented Blazing Saddles that night!

I was really hoping this was mercifully killed off.

You're dumb. /after the fact

I need to second this. Speed Racer gets shit on for no reason, perfectly captured the cartoon.

LOL at reacting to a comment that was made before the movie was released.

Also, This movie still sounds like a trainwreck.

Man, I remember renting Urotsukidoji back in the day. I never did get to see all of it. I was at my grandmothers, and well, I guess you can figure the rest out. She didn't catch me, but shit if she didn't keep coming down stairs to talk about crap.

I think a few months later I rented Flesh Gordon and finished it. All I remember is the bad guy being called Darth Bader.

Am I the only one who thought Ghost in the Shell sucked?

No.

Saw the original in the theaters in '95, one friends girlfriend and another friend fell asleep about 1/2 way through.
Plenty of people are too shallow to get it.
