    The more I see about this new series, the more promising it seems.

    So far, looks like it’ll sound like the original movie, and look like the original manga. And man is that a combo that I had no idea how much I wanted.

    I just realized the major must be getting a new VA with this series. As Atsuko Tanaka passed last year.

    Now I’m sad. She WAS Motoko. One of those cases where an actor truly owned a charachter, so completely inhabiting them.

    Really looking forward to see another take on GitS.

    I also have faith that Science Saru will come at this one from a unique direction and art style. 🤞 Fingers crossed that the story holds up and has something really interesting to say about the modern digital climate.

    Excited to see Motoko wearing clothes again!

    I love SAC but it was really off putting in scenes where she attends official meetings with everyone else in suits and she’s wearing a leotard or even less. I know some of it was meant to be “she doesn’t care about human appearance” or something but it still felt weird…

      And also wearing actually nothing!

      OG Motoko goes fully nude when using the optical camouflage of her skin, remember.

      SAC didn’t bother me. Fan-service is one of those things where no matter how you do it, it’ll break immersion for some, and be completely below notice for others. Hopefully this one’ll work for you.
