chapter 08 of the manga

I'm sad but happy to being able to watch such a good anime weekly.

Hi everyone, anyone here ever heard of this before? I can never find any information on this piece online, bought it years ago on eBay because SAC is one of my favorite anime’s ever but it’s in all Japanese. Anyone ever seen this before or know what it was released with? Thanks for any help!!

If no Botou fans no longer exist then I’m clearly dead cause they could never make me hate you Botou.

Still holds up pretty well even though a few controls need to be modified. I think we're long overdue for a modern entry.

The theory that I made in the previous post is true after episode 9.

Lemme recap.

From episode 1, we have many security cameras shots, till episode 8 1st half. This meant that the puppet master was always watching motoko. This makes 'us', the audience as the puppet master watching the major.

The camera shots was not at episode 4. This is another proof.

Also the 'footage' at the end was mentioned by a character this episode, i think it's aramaki or someone. Sums it up.

For those who want a more serious type of storytelling like SAC, look no further than Moribito. It's similar to Sword of the Stranger (if you haven't watched it, add that too)

Love the show and I've been meaning to draw her~

They blow up my favourite Crow.

This bait post isn't about the crow, but the amount of background details Science SARU is giving. We saw chickens freaking out during the car scene (episode 9) as well.

Loved the "Sugi-baby"

Squirrels at episode 1.

Beetles.

Cockroaches.

Rats.

Pigeons .

Even that kid drawing face garbage guy from episode 2 re appeared at episode 8.

The "footage" at the end was mentioned this episode by the characters as well. Great addition to the lifestyle making it more lively.

I think episode 9 is unfinished, in the sense of unfinished corrections. I understand the hard schedule of the animators. It felt like they didn't have enough time.

Example : The talking scenes should be handed over to the people who are great at character acting. Many scenes are like watching 😮🙁😮🙁. While some key animations are well done.

ANOTHER EXAMPLE : the bridge landscape from episode 2 are used twice here at episode 9.

The long shots are just character moving mouth, while the dialogues are intense. Kinda felt weird.

My earlier complaint about those static long shot where characters walk in the same place, it was longer, it was weird to watch.(check out the image above and watch that scene again)

One final walking shot of motoko, which is a throwback to episode 1.

Even the bgms made comeback from episode 1.

The pre-court scene where Aramaki and Motoko were walking looked like the characters were dragged with some Capcut key frames with some pre defined walking animation. (Example : Imagine like I made a walking animation, but I don't know make the walking animation through a corridor, so I use keyframe and drag it to the end)

Loved the character acting of the news reporter.

Fantastic cinematography and philosophy.

Great animation, city life, people, background characters, especially SUGII BABYYY

This is the coolest show I've seen in a while but I can't seem to fully grasp the story. I don't understand most of what the characters are saying. Does anyone else feel like it?

coworker was trying to think of a word for completely isolated computing. Something that started with an A.

"Oh yeah thats called autistic mode right?" I said foolishly

airgapped. the word he was thinking of was airgapped.

think the team went from a highly professional task force to a highly chaotic and expressive tactical action squad
