「攻殻機動隊」

Hey there, I just finished season one. My second watch, but it’s been a long time since the first. My partner’s first watch. I have a few questions neither of us could answer, so I thought this would be a good place to ask them.

Spoilers, obviously!

1. !Motoko and Laughing Man discuss her disembodied wandering the net, after her apparent death. But they then revealed that it was a remote puppet that took the bullet last episode, therefore she was not disembodied nor wandering the net. LM talks as if he had figured this out well before talking about her possibly dying. What gives here? These two things can’t co-exist… are they just having a laugh?!<

2. !The library, though stated as a cyberspace in the episode opening credits, is a physical one when Motoko, LM, and Aramaki each comment on the real paper books filling it. This tracks with us, the audience, never seeing Aramaki “dive” in the series. But LM disappears as if he was never there in the shot where M and A are leaving. There could be any number of reasons for this, I like it ambiguous, but if I had to say why, I would say he was never there. He states that he is redundant now because he copied himself into Motoko, he’s now in a way everywhere she goes. What explains the disappearance for you?!<

3. !Lastly, what happens with Sarano at the car door… an explosion? Who is the unknown man, laughing to himself as he walks away from the scene? A copycat? My assumptions.!<

can you give me download link or website where I can download it for free and in higher quality

I'd be interested in your reason.

“Erm- she akshullay NEEDS to be nude to activate her PERFECT CAMOUFLAGE! (ignoring her thigh highs and belt around her leg which are still invisible) and- nudity is art! it makes this more mature, and artsy and you’re adverse to sex. I, with my high brow taste in cinema, didn’t even notice.” (only one body type drawn nude)

This is just garbage fan service. I’m not against nudity because I think nudity adds a lot when done well. This is so disrespectful to women, so genuinely bad and i’m disappointed since i’ve heard great things about it. There was several MINUTES of just straight nudity that adds absolutely nothing to the story. Nudity done well is great for storytelling, but CONSTANT nudity consequently makes it far more low-brow. I’ll get invested and immediately get taken right out of it again because it’s just so excessive. serious scene? Bam- unnecessary nude character.

Imagine this with a dude and his cock is flying around in the wind while fighting. Yeah, a little distracting and hard to take seriously.

inb4 “This has gotta be bait” Nope. Please go outside and touch grass if you genuinely think she HAS to be nude and that this is some insane take. in fact, go talk to, and watch this with another woman and convince them she had to be nude.

I remember seeing a video of some chick who was cosplaying the 1995 version of Motoko Kusanagi and I cannot for the life of me, find said video. All I can remember is that the cosplayer had really detailed contact lenses in and was sitting around places that looked they belonged in the anime but IRL

Best bots. 💕

I originally intended to make this a twist on a vintage lewd pinup but the further I went with it the more I preferred it this way. I am working on an anthropomorphised version to follow in that original vision but if I ever get around to finishing it or not is another matter entirely.

Thought you guys would enjoy them 👍
