| Season 1 was pretty average and looks like many people hated it. So anyone looking forward to s2? |

| why in the fuck would we need a second season to such a monstrosity? |
 |
| This is not a second season, this is the second half. They always intended for it to be 24 episodes long, I find it stupid that for whatever reason this is considered as another season. |
| I'm curious to see how it ends even though I don't like where the plot's going garyborken said: This is not a second season, this is the second half.

Some netflix "second seasons" have separate mal entries while others don't. |

| Sure, the story wasn't terrible once they actually got to it. Not very Ghost in the Shell, but not terrible. Maybe the second half can fix a few things. Here's hoping they listen to feedback (even though it's likely already finished being made and is too late to change) |
 |
| I actually liked the show. The music was somehow really good, wanted to look like some Yoko Kanno work (not the OP, which I also enjoyed) and the animation, even if it was completely 3D, was nice and smooth. Some scenes were awkward but I think 3D was another step in the Ghost in the Shell franchise. |
| I'll try to watch it in one sitting, just wanna get over it, the first episodes were trash |
    |
| I am curious about Togusa and that 14 year old posthuman. |
Don't talk to me about character development if Kaizuka Inaho or Slaine Troyard are in your favorites. |
| I think I’m one of the few that really enjoyed the first half. Sure, I agree with the criticism about the CGI animation. That’s the only thing about this series that I hated. I really wish the season didn’t go that route, but I thought the series was getting better as it dived more into the posthuman stuff, especially with Takashi (the junior high kid). Maybe I’m just an optimist, but I think the second half is setting up quite nicely. |
| totally hyped for it after that cliff hanger. I really don´t get the hate this series have received, it might not be a perfect 10 like the first gits movie but its very good, the animation looks pretty nice also |

I'm on episode 9 of the first season and I've really enjoyed it so far. It's at a similar level of quality, and writing, to the first two GITS seasons IMO - i.e. intelligent and thought-provoking. The 3D animation takes a bit of getting used to, but once you do, the story is really captivating and thrilling, and there are some great interactions between the team, and many humorous moments. That episode with Batou caught in the midst of a bank robbery and then helping out the senior citizens, was hilarious and also moving. I'm watching it dubbed, and all the main VA's from the classic installments have returned. I feel it's WAY underrated, but everyone is entitled to their own opinion and will see and react to things in their own unique and subjective way. That's what this site is all about! GITS is still one of the best anime franchises - as far as I'm concerned :) @PentagramShogoki @severen1999 @Toucanbird @Yang_Wenli @abyss_will I'm glad to see that I'm not alone! Put together we're like the Individual Six ;) |
Yugesai said: I am once again convinced that even the greatest will fall and die sometime. Look at what happened to Berserk Look at what happened to the Assassin's Creed franchise Look at anything EA touched. Look at Boruto Filler Generations (Where fillers come to life) Look at the convoluted bullshit in the Kingdom Hearts franchise... everything rots and dies. Nurgle's decay is real. Nothing happened to Berserk - the manga is doing fine, the original anime is doing fine, the OVAs are doing fine - the latest anime was bad but didn't ruin the franchise by any measure. Nothing happened to Assassin's Creed - that was the problem, and then they overcorrected. I'm sure fillers are the least of Boruto's problems. nekkoMaster said: I loved the adaptation. Why ? Because they are putting in money to keep Gits alive so i don't want to complain and enjoy what i got. If they don't make shows like these, Gits will die and i would hate to see that. Even if it was nothing compared to original, it was still better than other main stream anime. YES, I AM HYPED Funny stance. You'd rather see something you love get tortured in front of you as it dies instead of receiving a swift, honourable death? I guess if you're happy, who am I to say anything. The 3D style is not fitting for Kushinov Illya's designs. It's a missed opportunity. Speaking of that, OP should've put up a poll. |
| Can't believe there's been absolutely no news on this coming out, been well over a year now |
| I'm hyped for it and waiting patiently. With how long NF is taking to release the sequel, I feel like I'll have to rewatch season 1 because I'll have forgotten the finer details of the plot by the time the sequel is finally released. Unlike many, I found season 1 enjoyable once I got used to CG. And I loved Togusa's makeover and his extended role. Certainly looking forward to seeing more of the same. |

| i didn't like the CGA, they should never have used that style/system/technique whatever you call it. i didn't like the writing. the initial setting was... 'WTF from minute 1 with zero setup.' i hate shows like that, read me a GD story with the narrator before the opening scene at a minimum. don't shove exposition into the first episode's characters' mouths like they were spewing split pea soup from 'The Exorcist'. how on gods green earth did a team of Japanese counter-terrorist-specialist cops nee military grunts and whatnots end up in GD American SouthWest? i has been awhile since i watched 'part1' but i STILL wondered about that one for quite a long time. i'll watch part2 since i geeked out over GITS for decades now. even Arise made me kinda happy, except the English dub recasting. bleck! Mary Elizabeth McGlynn IS The Major... nobody else. |
just an ol school American otaku enjoyin the life. don't sass me kiddies, i've been otaku probably since before you were born. leave me in peace and i won't bother you either.  |
| ew, what's this 3d gross animation. And also Netflix? |

FANTAMELONSODA said: Matchiu said: ew, what's this 3d gross animation. And also Netflix? Eiji Inomoto is the genius 3D artist who pushed the boundaries of 3D animation in anime starting with SAC 1. He worked on SAC 2nd GIG and was also 3D Director for the Arise fork. He is the founder of Studio Orange known for Land of the Lustrous and Beastars, two of the greatest masterpieces in anime. Inomoto wasn't involved with SAC_2045 for whatever reason. SAC_2045 3D animation was helmed by Shinji Aramaki, bringing in his boomer-who-took-3D-animation-classes-in-the-90s-and-still-does-machinima-in-2020 style. Aramaki was an extremely important figure for Production I.G. and was one of the earliest adopters of 3D animation in anime, so I would understand Kamiyama letting Aramaki do such an important work. Except, you know, the animation turned out to be not even funny bad. As for why Netflix? The main writer for SAC became the chief producer of Netflix Japan. Yoshiki Sakurai changed his name to Taiki Sakurai. In Kamiyama's interview, this push towards 3D animation was Production I.G.'s evolutionary response to industry norms, and the fact that they (Sakurai and Kamiyama are best buds and Sakurai is still part of Production I.G.) are now working under Netflix, an American company with a multi-national reach, compels them to rethink their target audience. This is one of the most glaring mistakes in the direction of SAC_2045, where they pander blatantly to an imagined American audience, except they don't have the sensibilities for such an audience, i.e. they use outdated memes like Steve Jobs, thinking that'd be a hit in America, in 2020. ok my bad ------------- |

| As a hardcore GitS SAC long time fan I really did enjoy the first part, obviously it wasn't anywhere near the level of the original and even Arise was better, but still this was fun and entertaining when compared to all the garbage that comes out of Hollyweird. First 5 or 6 episodes of the first part were really decent, my only complaint for season 1 was the creation and introduction of the character Purin Esaki. That character was super irrelevant imo, they should have used those remaining episodes and time in part 1 to deep dive more into the OG characters of Section 9 instead of brining someone new that looks way out of place. |
| I liked it, but didn’t love it. I’m still curious to see what the second part will be like, so I’m going to watch it. |
| oh no please dont hurt me no more |
 |
| the first season was a disaster, but as a fan of ghost in the shell i feel like i need to watch it no matter what. |
| all the hype, tho I've already forgotten almost everything about sac 2045 so I hope someone makes one of those recap videos so I can refresh my memory |
|
| Hype? None. Excited? Not at all. Will I watch it? Yes. I will watch it because it's GitS, not because it's good. I'm attached to the characters, even if I have no hope for this take on the SAC series and I personally loathe the CGA. I admit it has its moments (it's not unwatchable) but it's terrible compared to everything before it. I haven't even finished it, ha. Guess I should do so now. |
| can't believe psycho pass got a much better treatment in the last 2 years, RIP ghost in the shell |

(particularly s2) Definitely much better treatment than Sac 2045. |
AnimeSoap said: I don't care what "people" say, i've watched both, this is my own opinion, S2 of Psycho-Pass is bottom of the barrel storytelling, they basically tried to copy everything about S1, but made it non-sensical and has no repercussions anywhere, S3 is a bit better, a bit boring, the new characters are ridiculous, introduced a ridiculous power that makes no sense in the universe, it nowhere near S1 or even the movie that a tier or 2 below.Nah, the sequels aren't as bad as people make them out to be. (particularly s2) Definitely much better treatment than Sac 2045. |

(particularly s2) Definitely much better treatment than Sac 2045. I included you in "people". I agree that S2 tries to be like s1 but fails and only amplifies the problems present in S1. With that said, the lead writers were put in really tight spot and still managed to put out a somewhat coherent narrative though vastly inferior. Its no doubt the lowest point of the series but far from bottom of the barrel. The movie and subsequent SS movies were an improvement however. S3 with the mentalist ability really goes overboard but the production was really solid for the most part. I wish GiTS 2045 got the same production S3. |
| While I'm not hyped. I would like to see how this ends. After all, better than being left on a cliffhanger. |
| "Even if there isn't a God or meaning behind life. That doesn't mean you can't create your own meaning and make the best out of life." |
| Wheeennnnn is it coming already? I've rewatched the whole Gits SAC in order just to refresh my memory, now I need the continuation. |
