I just watched the first episode from the new series, & it was very satisfying to see the Tachicomas not only in good health, but exhibiting a sense of humor. :lol:

Although they share each other's experiences through downloading memories, & thus could be said to be 1 organism rather than several, I wonder how to distinguish 1 from another. Do they have individual names? There is the 1 that is always the leader, the 1 that was given the natural oil, & is Batou-san's best friend & savior. My eyes were wet when they were chewed up defending him, putting themselves between the hail of lead & Batou-san.
:cry:

Yay for robots!

I recently rinished watching both gigs back to back (subs) and I gotta say te show, altho interesting, was not terribly engaging. I think it had a lot to to with the steroid injected dialoge and 'plot'. Everything seemed to te said in the most complicated way it could be. Meh. Interesting, but detached. Even the tachikoma's (who in any other show would have totally owned just on the basic concept) just became one big spuedo-intellectual babble-spiewing cliche.

This show sefinately stuck to the theory of "Use big words to fool them into thinking you are clever" rather than "be clever". It became quite Tiresome. Expecially when ultimately it all ended up in the same place anyway, or nowhere at all.

Having moaned about that however, I did like most of the characters. They were not terribly fleshed out (excuse the pun) but you knew where tehy were coming from. I also liked the "subtle" things in the show. Most of which would be spoiler so probably should not mention any.

I liked the show enough to watch both gigs pretty much back to back, but ultimately when it was over I felt more unsatisfied than anything else. I can't see that the Dub would be any better, and to be honest at this point I don't think I would ever be interested enough to go back to watch it anyway.
three and a half years.. for what?

Of course that would be the desired effect on a casual observer or
unintiate..... A neat little Jedi mind trick.
You need not feel ashamed that It worked on you. :D
