...was the “(skip to around the 9:30 mark if you don’t have 25 minutes to spare!)” bit immediately above the video not there earlier?

I think that 3D World Runner and Cosmic Epsilon deserve to be one the list for their “I AM NOT KONAMI” / “I AM NOT KONANI” messages hidden in the game when you try to input the code: http://www.videogameden.com/fc.htm?coe

Thank you for pointing this out. I came to the comments just to see if someone had mentioned it.

I, too saw it on a transatlantic flight on my way home from Sweden early in January. I’m excited that it’s finally coming out, so that I can see it again, but mostly so that my friend finally gets to see it, since he LOVES Makoto Shinkai’s work and has been angsting to be able to see the film for months even before I…

It really is a case of nit-picky tunnel vision, and the io9 review is PAINFULLY apparent, because there’s a whole paragraph essentially saying that the design was the best thing in the film, but also using words that make it seem godawful, but literally everything described in that paragraph was directly adapted from…

It’s annoying that it seems as though there’s more click-based-money to be made from being a pessimistic killjoy, but at least there’re some worthwhile things in the comments sometimes.

Right back atcha MrSchmitzky!! :D

Watching the original and its sequel Innocence will give you a lot good understanding of the shots that they recreated in the film as well as a good feel for the aesthetic that they went for. The Stand Alone Complex series and Arise series were mined for more of the plot elements and background information. They’re…

It’s honestly so disappointing, because the film was great.

Seriously. It’s just fucking obnoxious. It’s almost like they plan out ways to be as excited or disappointed as they want MONTHS in advance of seeing the film and set all their expectations so heavily that they’re really just regurgitating the same bile they’ve been spewing and re-swallowing rather than actually look…

The amount of stuff that’s directly pulled from both the original film and Innocence are utterly spectacular. There’re some solid stuff from SAC and Arise, but they play more into the loose structure of the plot than the aesthetic.

Honestly, Ghost in the Shell in its various incarnations are some of my favourite anime ever and I absolutely LOVED the film, so a lot of this response feels like pessimism looking to express itself in any way possible. If you think it looks cool, I’m sure you’ll enjoy it.

I’m a massive fan of Ghost in the Shell, along with a big group of friends that I went with, and we all absolutely LOVED the film. The amount of details that they utilized from all of the various incarnations and how they stitched it all together were spectacular, and it really feels like every write-up I’ve read so…

Can we please re-title this article, “The MySpace Angle for the Modern Age” ?

• Name a Japanese Actress who could have taken the role (not just Asian, there’s a colossal difference there).

Also – Sprint Away & Attack are also the same button which is incredibly frustrating when you just need to back away quickly and don’t want to dodge roll over and over.

Yes, but during the campaigns are the only times that those people are presidential candidates, so that doesn’t really matter. Regardless of the approval ratings that she may have as a politician, she still wasn’t a popular presidential candidate – most notably with the Democratic voter base that she needed to succeed…

• Trump got just < 1 million fewer votes than Romney or McCain did in their runs.
• Clinton got just short of 6 million votes less than Obama did in 2012, and 9.5 million less than Obama in 2008 – so while she STILL won the popular vote – that doesn’t make her a popular Democratic Candidate.

My point is why does the second video have to be offset for them to sync up like this? If it were intentionally designed to sync up, shouldn’t it work by just starting them at the same time?

My main issue with this is that while the connection is seemingly really interesting... the video that they’re using for the new trailer cuts off the first 25 seconds of the video in order to make this moment sync up.
