| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- Meh not much else to see in this..only 22 minutes and it's a recompilation of the previous movies. This one also kinda lacked action as well so I guess it's more like a buildup for now. |
 |
| First part of the first movie. I might not add forum post until there's new content. |

I ♥ Two Syaorans from Tsubasa RESERVoir CHRoNiCLE and TRC!!! |
| So this basically is just like the Break Blade TV series ,that being a exact retelling of the movies? |
| Is there any difference between the GiTS Arise movies and this series? Becaus I'm planning to watch the complete GiTS series and I have the movies at my pc. |

Becaus I'm planning to watch the complete GiTS series and I have the movies at my pc. no i don't think so, this series will have 2 new episodes that the previous Arise Ova's didn't have but they will recap the OVA's in this tv series |
| Never watched the Arise movies so I'm glad for this.Although I heard not so good things about Arise...will see for myself I guess :) |
 |
| well after waiting the entire day will there be a fansub for this or not? does anyone know? |

| I doubt anyone cares until the new eps. |
 Anime is good, fucking deal with it. |
To hell with Production I.G. I mean it. Is this how you treat your flag ship anime? |

| added the fourth most popular anime onto this site |

| Everyone is saying that this is the first OVA but it is actually the fourth, isn't it? It's even titled "Ghost Stands Alone Part 1". |
| "My tables-meet it is I set it down That one may smile, and smile, and be a villain." |
| I only watched the movies. But knowing this will be just a recap episode... I will just ignore this one. |

| I was planning on watching the Arise movies for a while but since this is out I'm just going to watch this instead. Hopefully I won't miss out on anything. So far this episode was pretty confusing but I'm hoping it'll become a little clearer if I keep watching. |
| The OP pales in comparison to Inner Universe or anything else Origa did, RIP Origa. Well not a bad first episode, but it feels somewhat lacking compared to SAC, but I'll definitely be watching this series. |
| I've seen the first 3 OVA's haven't watched Ghost in the Shell: Arise - Border:4 Ghost Stands Alone. So this series is a seemingly fluid transition from the OVA story for me. There wasn't that much action but the political, philosophical, economic, transhumanistic and moral issues which are raised are what makes GITS so cool, and while set in the future, has the kind of timeless effect being very relevant now as well. |
amateur said: So this basically is just like the Break Blade TV series ,that being a exact retelling of the movies? supposedly addition of content near the end of the series that details more about the coming together of section 9. Idk if it's peppered into the episodes or literally will be after all the movies are recapped. Mod Edit: Removed quote of deleted post. |

tsubasalover said: First part of the first movie. Well no, it's actually from the fourth movie. |
| i never seen this part of the OVA since i dropped that one, so im seeing this for the first time |
| I've watched the 4th movie just a couple days ago so I basically fast-forwarded this episode... This will be a really quick watch if there are more episodes like that. |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
| This better not be what they did with Break blade, just chop the 50 mins down to 20 mins and call it a new series. |
| kinda weird watching this because the 4 arise movies i've seen didnt air that long ago. especially because they start with the fourth movie..maybe its just to refresh our memory and we get some new stories after they are done recapping it. |
| As someone who only watched the first two original movies I think I'll enjoy this. |
| Oh god who are you people? |
| Iv only seen the first Arise movie so most of this is new to me, loved the first episode. Ghost in the Shell is cleverly written science-fiction. |
| I assumed that it would of started with the first part, but it seems like its skipping right to when the full team is assembled. |

So far this episode was pretty confusing but I'm hoping it'll become a little clearer if I keep watching. They basically cut out alot of stuff... even I was confused watching this and I did actually watch the movie. :L This episode was basically a flashy mess. The story lacks cohesion with all the editing. Aggron said: The OP pales in comparison to Inner Universe or anything else Origa did, RIP Origa. Well not a bad first episode, but it feels somewhat lacking compared to SAC, but I'll definitely be watching this series. Somewhat lacking? lol You have noooo idea... though I did like the animation of the OP. Very sci-fi-esque. Though the music was not up to par. I still find it hard to get used to such a censorious, impatient and irritable Major... Why Production I.G? Why? GitS is indeed one of your flagship anime too. Can't they at least do new material? They have the budget and staff, and GitS already has an audience. :/ Or atleast 2 cour... What can they do with 10 episodes, most of which are just edited versions of the movies? Argh.. |
| feels way too weird with all the different voice actors :< |
| the official MAL hall of fame/cursed comments is now open for business - you are welcome to PM me any potential quotes to include |
| Wonder why they started with the 4th movie? Guess we'll see the other parts later on |
| Uh...it was alright I guess? Don't really have much to say. |
 |
| They just chopped the movie into series length!!!! This not really a new series!!!! |

Imeon said: They just chopped the movie into series length!!!! This not really a new series!!!! Welcome to last year when they announced they were doing exactly that. |
| But animation was really shitty. I watched many first episodes yet this was almost a slide show in few sequences. Movements were stiff and all in all I'd expect at least normally good animation from IG, not some mind blowing stuff but at least good not taht bad. And yeah. Whoohoo for "let's wreck this franchise" #yolo I guess. |
 |
| Just fuck this shit. Leave the name "Ghost in the Shell" alone. |

| Blood tastes like iron |
| Wow wtf I downloaded this getting all hyped up (without doing any research) and I get shit on by a recap of the first ghost in the shell arise movie. Seriously wtf |
| Haven't seen the OVAs so I'll watch this instead. Not a bad start. |
  |
| I have already seen ova 4... |
 |
| Old stuff, but the bond intro with subliminal messages gives some nostalgic vibes |
| That animation though |
 |
| I love the op as well |
|
| Well these first 8 episodes will probably be cut in half movies but well it's a good recap to see them again to then give a look at the two additional episodes to this story! |
 |
| Need more naked Batou! JUST GET IN MY BED ALREADY!! |
 |
| Arghh it's basically first part of Arise Movie 4 frame by frame, dialogue and sounds slapped with a preview. I understand the cost-cutting measure or whatever but damned cheapskates! >_< Probably my bad for not checking the synopsis, in the first place. |
| You see there's no need to wonder where your god is, Coz he's right here! ...and he's fresh out of mercy. |
