Never expected this one to pop up with some activity.

Try this club. Kinda it's replacement in a fashion, though it's just about as dead, but not for quite as long.

Hi there.

I noticed that this club is dead for sometime, still ill just post this question with hope that someone answers it.

So has anyone already about the 3rd volume of Ghost in the Shell? I found this in amazon, and i would like to know if someone has ever heard about this.ty

I for one preferred the '04 Appleseed movie to the Ex Machina one. It was not that the story was bad, or the CGI. Rather, the choreography of the gunfights was not to my liking. It's irrational to use that as a reason to dismiss the entire other movie, but... that's just how I feel ^^;

well, then I think I'm going to watch that one!
But is the sound as good as the one from 2004?

_edge_ | May 4, 2008 3:40 AM

yeh I watched it a while ago. I thaught it was pretty good, though if you read the discussion thread I guess you either love it or hate it. I thought the CGI was better than 2004 and I quite enjoyed the story. Worth a watch IMO.

has anyone allready seen appleseed ex machina?

Thanks, Shirow is a genius imo. The fact he is working so closely with I.G at the moment is a great thing too.

I'm liking seing his work going directly into anime rather than it being an adaption from his Manga. I think it is working pretty well for him atm.
