Media trailers etc......

Yeah! Tachikoma's are cool.

Tachikoma? What is that?

I take it this is a new series or something? I never read any manga or anything about this (I have read, posibly, 5 mangas my whole life anyway..) but the movie of the same name was reasonalby interesting if somewhat short. I bought the DVD of that movie a few months back but have not had a chance to watch it yet.

I Probably should not say this, but why the hell doesnt some one give that poor girl some clothes? And also some decent meals! I really don't think I could watch a show and take it seriously if she is supposed to be the butt-kicking law inforcement. Seriously.. Are YOU threatened by a little anorexic girl in panties pulled up her crack and a shirt that looks like it 4 sizes too small? I think not. and that final pic? thigh boots, a bustierre and a Brando Jacket? Jesus.. Some character designers (or possibly wardrobe designers) need to be shot, honestly.

Well Danny.... It seems you don't know what's good for ya, so here's a link.
GITSSAC... Review and Synopsis background etc.

The girl is a killer Cyborg, her body is synthetic. This series is very popular, and is coming to Cartoon Network this november. It will blow away every other anime on earth. It has all the things a hit anime needs, full color saturation, violence, and that sexy outfit.
Which boys just eat up. I don't think they'll get the chance to sabotage this one, like they did Astroboy. I just bought the volume 01 DVD and it's both dubbed and in japanese with subs... Beautiful animation, fab sound, great writing, fabooo music score. A must. :wahah:

I don't understand the need to wear only underwears If she wanders half-nude, why should she even bother to wear clothes at all :wacko: I don't understand the need to put nude or half-nude chicks everywhere be they human of cyborgs :angry:
If I want to see nude chicks, I go and buy porn. If I want to see an anime with an interesting plot, I go to see Ghost in the Shell. Why doesn't Major wear decent clothes? Would Ghost in the Shell Standalone Complex need such a strange promotion? Is it so bad? I can't believe it from the sequell of such a great anime.
I still haven't seen this serie so far (maybe I miss something), but what I see doesn't push me to make the effort. Or maybe Cybotron has made a special selection?

I wonder if Fafner is really a girl?
I guess he just doesn't get it. :wacko:
This is the stuff.

Girls can be lesbian, and I could also be gay while we speak about that :wahah:
I just wonder why is there so many images of Major where she is half-nude in what appears as "normal scenes". Why in her boss office? Why during what looks like a mission with her boss? Is she always clothed like that, or have you just put the few images where she is half-nude?
I don't remember her like that in the original Ghost in the Shell, only a small scene at the beginning and another at the end, and it looked plausible. Did you pick the images in the same kind of situations?

It's so the show will be a hit... Duhhhh.
And these are the pictues coming through from Japan and France. In times of war this is the kind of stuff you can expect. Show the boys what they're fighting for.

Now that I re-read calmly my recent posts in this discussion I note I have over-reacted a bit Cybotron had no chance and accidentally pressed the big red button that reads "detonate"
Let me explain...
I suppose most of you like jam. However would like jam in your meat? In your vegetables? Everywhere? Personnally I would become sick at the slightest view of jam That's the very origin of the word spam
Seeing nude chicks everywhere to sell anything from shampoo to toothpaste just makes me sick and the images at the top of the discussion made me throw up all over
Hope I haven't sprinkle too many people You were on first line Cybotron, I hope you didn't get too much

I agree wholeheartedly. Too much of even the best things (except $ , Popeye's spicy Fried chicken, Pizza Hut meat lovers' pizza, Mrs. Fields' chocolate chip cookies (hot & soft), Grandma Utz lard potato chips, etc., causes them to lose their power to please. Even naked women when over used can lose their significance. Its like the gansta rappers are wearing out the curse words, which once they no longer offend anybody, will require replacement by new words. As far as cheeky little buns go, I think that having them peek out from shorts or briefs is cuter than fully exposed by g-strings. I think it is something to do with the girl's supposed unawareness that her cheeks are showing, plus, the elasticzed hem kinda cuts accross in a rather amusing way.
