But in your heart, you would just know.

If only we could have cloned you and see which version did better...

Maybe these crazy one-off events would quit happening if rather than limping along on old reactors (built in the 70s, designed in the 60s, and conceived of in the 50s), utility companies were allowed to replace them with new designs that incorporate 40 years-worth of safety and efficiency improvements.

Even if money is the reason, they could have resolved this issue very, very simply: Kusanagi is known to swap bodies in multiple continuities. Some of the bodies that Kusanagi has used were not Japanese in appearance. The solution naturally presents itself: have Kusanagi portrayed for a non-trivial portion of the…

In most of the continuities, exact colors aside, Kusanagi’s main body is drawn in the same fashion as all of the other Japanese characters. She doesn’t get drawn with any of the exaggerated/differentiated features that, for example, the female Chinese assassin gets (who ironically is a better fit for the stereotype of…

I wonder how much semtex a usedDJI Phantom 3 could carry.

I’m not sure the Sabremetrics are going to work out for that.

Massive scratch space?

RAID 60.

Even if everything you said were 100% always true, it’s hardly the fault of the car. Or are you claiming that this behavior only started when the 4th-gen rolled out?

The thing is, there is a relatively simple way to resolve the whitewashing issue and still keep ScarJo. In many of the continuities, the Major does body swaps from time to time to go undercover. The obvious solution, then, is this: have multiple actresses play Kusanagi. The GitS fans get a story that hews more closely…

And said prosthetic body is drawn like all the human Japanese characters, like the prime minister. Compare how she is drawn with the female Chinese assassin, or the Chinese diplomats. Ironically, the Chinese characters are drawn more in the style of what Westerners think how all Asians look. Then compare how she and…

Anime and manga look the way they do because the art style is derived from American animation in the early 20th century. It became the default, and while the details may have changed over the decades, it’s fundamentally the same.

You ARE aware that Major Motoko Kusanagi is very well known for body switching and using ‘foreign’ looking bodies to do undercover work, right?

are the people in GITS with obvious european features and blonde hair but japanese names also asian?

No. And that is exactly my point.

actually... Kusanagi’s cyber-brain was generated at birth while her human body was never really born alive. details, details...
