According too Richard Epcar, the VA for Batou and several other sources have said that the Laughing Man OVA (the first season shorted into OVA form) won't have the Animaze cast but is in fact done by The Ocean Group. This isn't the first time Bandai has done this, Char's Counter Attack had an Animaze dub way back in 99, but then redubbed with ocean. http://www.crystalacids.com/What? Eww. Besides, why would I need that OAV aside from getting it just because I am that much of a whore for Ghost? (I am, but still...) |

PROTIP: FUNDING OCEAN GROUP ONLY ENCOURAGES OCEAN GROUP.

It reminds me vaguely of how they released x-files dvds only containing the episodes revolving around the overarching conspiracy plotline.
I'm guessing thats what this is, just the laughing man episodes without the "stand alone" ones.

quite true, but they're not called 'filler' episodes but 'stand alone' which sounds cool. i especially liked the one where motoko and batou were in belgium.

OK, I've seen a handful of episodes of GITS SAC and the "2nd" series, and as cop/spy/special forces shows, they're very good, in both animation and story. However, I've missed the philosophical stuff so far. Maybe it just hasn't "hit" me yet. It seem's similar to the first Armitage III OVA (I've heard the 2nd one sucks, but curiousity might get me to watch it someday). Armitage's philosophical ideas were "How organic can you make a robot before you consider it a human?", and "How robotic can you make a human before you consider it a machine?" It also questioned whether machines should still be considered expendable when they become more human. Like GITS, it also had a cop/special forces feeling to it. I guess that's the thing except for the episode with the cyberized security guards. I don't remember another where someone questioned the human/machine threshold. I wasn't sure about the AI tanks before, but they're starting to grow on me.  |

 Ghost in the Shell fans, unite. Your favorite killer spider is back once more, as Bandai is delivering a newfangled version which stands 9.5-centimeters high and connects to your PC via USB. Apparently, this creature comes bundled with software which enables it to play back voice messages and fire up mini-games when it's not emitting sounds through the built-in speaker or catching your eye with its integrated LEDs. Unfortunately, it looks like this creature won't actually be uncaged until next February, but that'll give you some time to save up the ¥13,440 ($115) that you'll need come launch day. |

The Tachikomas have always been, and always will be awesome.
Final Negotiator: You'd really have to watch the entire series to get the full philosophical ideas of The Laughing Man (1st Gig) or The Individual Eleven (2nd Gig). Or, you could just watch those stories collected into two hour chunks. I think Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - The Laughing Man just came out on DVD.

...I hope so, because the Individual Eleven arc in 2nd GIG is far superior in just about every aspect in my opinon. Peace. |

You know, I would love to see a video game where you and The Tachikomas square off against the pink spider things from The Big O Acts 23 & 24. Absolute carnage! Vegeta, back me up on this one... Would it not rock? |
