On cue... wait for it-- flashback!

inb4 Kusanagi's (aka Major) overall design out/rage/quit :|

Personally, I just need a lil getting used to her forehead otherwise she still looks mighty damn fine sporting that less thicker, shorter hair.

I was in awe of how Noroshi's body worked. First his head, then his arms, and ... Just take a close look at how he's pinning Batou on page 35. His head and arms are facing Batou, and the legs/torso are the opposite.

FREAKING AWESOME.
Yay?

This chapter set the GITS mood right (war, politics, cyborg-terrorist). I hope there will be some grand-scheme as usual.

Shame they didn't let Motoko more space but i guess it can't be helped since this was Batou's issue. Her younger look is really well done but gaaa-h she looks like a rookie here! This contrast is even more obvious in comparison to other guys from future section 9. The older Motoko fitted there better. I know she is a cyborg, but still. I am more anxious to see how they will portray her younger personality and her past.

btw this pick is awesome

i've been super excited about Arise...but the art! it's not bad but why?

maybe the overly youthful look of all the characters will be explained (read: BETTER BE EXPLAINED) with more mature body swaps or injuries? Kusanagi's look distracted me from the mood of the chapter.

but i did like how simplistic the storyline is in this chapter. we should expect details and nuance from each chapter to jumble up into a web of stand alone complex-esque greatness and complexity!

i'm waiting to see how the story/characters develop before i get too upset about the Major's bangs, though...

I thought chapter 1 was awesome, i'm reading chapter 2 right now and this manga has really got me hyped for the movies that are coming out :D
The Fate of Destruction is also the Joy of Rebirth ;)
