I don't like the purity test, one way or another. I think people should do what they want!

2022-03-15 17:16:48 +0000 UTCI respect Sub watchers, but everything about authenticity and tone etc. etc. always being superior gets thrown out the window when you watch certain things. I dare you to go listen to Goku’s Japanese voice actress and tell me, honestly, that it’s better/superior to Sean Schemmel. Turns out, Dubs can be better sometimes if you come at it from not being a snub (not that you are, just the royal you). But again, I respect Sub watchers 100%, just not the people who proclaim that it’s always better and superior every time, with a straight face. Like bruh, you don’t speak Japanese dog lol it’s OK. It’s not live-action dubbing, the lip syncs mostly match up in modern anime dubbing. It’s similar to someone telling me the 2001 A Space Odyssey book is superior to Stanley Kubrick’s film just because one is the original. Sometimes, being the original/closest to source isn’t the point. Both Sub and Dub have their place together. :)

2022-03-10 23:04:16 +0000 UTCGreat discussion guys. I'm a huge fan of the Ghost in the Shell franchise. From the original film all the way to the new Netlifx 'Ghost in the Shell 2045' show. I even enjoyed the live action film, for its own merits too. The first film is iconic and haunting, and it does present scenarios and concerns that are even more relevant today, as much as themes raised in Blade Runner and other sci-fi works. It's not my favourite part of the franchise, but I still think it's a very important cyberpunk sci-fi touchstone in our time. I remember the chills I got seeing the poster and promotional artwork for it.

2022-03-09 18:02:47 +0000 UTCI wasn't aware this was based on manga originally. I think I first watched the anime movie in high school, and I remember the dope cyberpunk setting and lots of boobs. Like Dagan said, apparently the author/artist has kind of gone deep in the pervert pool. There are even panels from his old Ghost in the Shell manga where Major has lesbian orgies and it leaves very little to the imagination. Maybe he found his true calling in smut peddling.
