An adaptation of the original manga. Hopefully one that actually stays true to the Major’s characterization.

The art style is certainly more consistent with the original comic.

There was an excised explicit sex scene on one page in the original Dark Horse printing of the manga. It was a pretty big shock when I reread a newer print and it was in there. I don't recall the rest of the manga being nearly as horny as that though. It's honestly unnecessary and gratuitous.. and if this adaptation skips it, nothing will be lost.

Shirow's arc into extremely horny digital art has been documented widely - this recent Comics Journal article has a good overview of his early work, including GITS.

in the manga the Major is a more and tumble type, she likes drinking and bants with the boys. And when she gets time off she spends it having lesbian yacht sex vacations in VR.

stand alone complex also had gratuitous sex, it was just narrative and portrayed as a base defilement

So did the original pacman. Just the graphics were so basic no one could tell what was really going on.

If it was relevant to the plot or had thematic value, then it wasn't gratuitous.

Oh, directors can still find a way to make plot and thematically relevant sex scenes gratuitous.

They're often pretty good at it actually.

💯 Shirow's manga are always full of great little moments like these, especially Dominion & Appleseed

I can't believe this is real, it feels like something out of The Critic.



There's really not that much drama to be mined from Gertrude Ederle's life. The only part is maybe a coach she that might've been a creep who tried to sabotage her attempts and who she fired. But she was a good swimmer that had won olympic medals. had the full support from her family, had massive public support and two newspapers paid her expenses.

I wish they’d do a modern reboot of dominion tank police. The last thing came out almost 20 years ago.

Never saw the 2006 one, only the 80s ones and that was back in college in the 90s. I just remember liking the vehicle designs
