I don’t know. But I am fairly certain that Ms. Teigen is either wearing Butter lipstick from NYX, Naturally Transformed from MAC, or another fave from Byte, Honeyheat. With a slightly darker lipliner and a gloss over it. That’s my contribution.

I thought I was a terrible player because everyone else I played against could hit me while bobbing and weaving, while I had to stand still and slowly adjust in order to hit things. Maybe I missed the true source of the problem . . .

Winning. Getting rewards. Being told by the game that you’re high skill. Ruining the game for other people. Mocking legitimate players. Justifying it by saying others are cheating.

I would totally be on board with these explanations if they were in the text. Having someone tweet out some heretofore unrevealed information about the very nature of the world to resolve dumb plotholes is still just as bad as there being dumb plotholes in the first place.

The manga is a plot-driven page turner. If you like action manga, Attack on Titan is a good one. Bonuses: no sexual fan service, strong female characters that pass the Bechdel test, great art, solid English translation.

Any time two people disagree it’s a debate. It doesn’t matter what the contents of the disagreement are.

I get it, we’ve all been there.

Yet Asian-American actors have made themselves loudly heard on this, and they disapprove being categorically left out of leading roles.

Japan was never complaining, they were applauding it. it was white Americans that were complaining about GITS.

Yeah there is a word for it; cheap. :P

Let us also remember that Shirow was not a part of the movie. It borrowed several of the storylines from the manga, but the characters were definitely skewed from their original forms.

You think this is good? Its “there” but its not good. Music is the wrong choice, for one, and “The Major’s” voiceover is bad. The voice is too vulnerable. Mokoto Kusanagi is anything but vulnerable. And seeing it I get what most of the commenters are saying. I really do. I’m disappointed that they went the way they…

Completely agree.

Visually this looks great, but ScarJo’s voice is worryingly very monotone in the dialogue they chose. The Major is not that monotone. :|

Now, if we can stop complaining about complaining about whitewashing (seriously, the whitewashing supporter complainers were a million times more prevalent and obnoxious than the anti-whitewashing people), we can probably finally focus on the quality of the product, itself.

You know, I get it. All of the fans I talked to thought the casting of Mickey Rooney in Breakfast at Tiffany was a-ok. Sure, those fans may have been my cat, my houseplant and a Captain America bobble-head, but they are real fans and I believe them over “people online!”

Is...that a thing?

I doubt it’ll be better than Kenshin but I’m keeping my hopes up.

This has me both worried and excited. 2nd Gig as a whole felt like a much more personal story than previous incarnations because we were able to get a much better glimpse of what makes up the Major. Aside from being a somewhat love interest, Kuze acts as a what if version of the Major if she went down a different path.

Some say the ‘95 film is set in Hong Kong. There’s some truth to that in that the design team for the ‘95 movie used Hong Kong as reference material.
