Somehow I want someone to tell me what the crap happens in the show to watch just the movie, as everyone seems to rave endlessly about it, but for my life I won't stand to watch the complete show in order to watch just one movie.
 
Watch Episode 00, "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" arc, the standalone episode "Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody", and "The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya" arc, and you should be filled in on most of it. The rest is mainly filler.

Thats all the necessary bits, but I'd go as far to say that Episode 00 is unnecessary as well.
 
If you're going to watch Sigh, you may as well watch 00 as well. It's probably best watched after you watch Sigh though, unless you want to jump straight in with the eighth most obtuse (or third, if we count the six pointless episodes in the middle of endless eight as one episode) of the show. Actually, watch 00 first, just to see how you react. One of my friend's thought the rest of the show was going to be like that after watching it... :lol:
 
So, I just realized while doing a blog in it, that Ghost in the Shell will be 25 years old next year. And to celebrate, I shall have to get a good PC and the GITS MMO...and hopefully Funimation or whoever owns the rights will debut the dubbed version of Arise. I'll probably actually be doing a lot of GITS stuff next year just to celebrate. Also, Simpson's will be celebrating it's 25th Anniversary next year too. (Technically it's 27 next year, but it's 25 years of it in it's current 30 minute form.)

that's even worse, not only you don't like happy girls... you don't like girls.

Someone tell the man what he wants to know so he could watch the movie then tell me what the whole thing is all about.

That or Wikipedia.

Or maybe I think I should just do this.

...GITS MMO...

That's gonna be really cool, I didn't even know about it. At least it's coming way sooner than Cyberpunk 2077.
 
So, did some research, and Funimation does indeed own the distribution rights to GITS Arise, but I don't know who owns the English distribution rights to the rest of the GITS franchise. I HOPE Funimation did 'cause that might mean some awesome blu-ray 25th Anniversary GITS combo packs...although, I don't know if anyone will pay the original manga any dues. I hope so. I hope I don't have to way another 17 years to get the 25 Anniversary Edition of the original anime movie on blu-ray. That said, there IS plans for the GITS MMO to come to the US, so, that might be my main 25th Anniversary purchase...and maybe the last two GITS mangas.

EDIT: Film company Anchor Bay owns the rights to the original anime movie, 2nd Gig and Solid State Society. Manga owns the rights to the original manga, 1st Gig and the Innocence. (And I think they still own the rights to the original movie, as well, in some way)

Kyoukai no Kanata really gets me going. Megane. Megane. Megane. Action!
It's actually the first moe-include anime that I'd ever watch. //Shoot.

Downloading Samurai Flamenco because streaming here in my hometown would be a disaster to wait. I just hope it'll be good. The anime, I mean.>_>
 
25 years? *checks Wikipedia* Its art style (in 1989) seems ahead of its time IMHO.

Art style, animation, and even the plot was way ahead of it's time. Gost in the Sheel isn't a corner stone of the anime culture just because. it was pretty revolutionary and a spiritual sucesor to Akira's cyberpunk legacy.

Oh how I'd like a post-apocaliptic cyberpunk show these days...

Nose being close to the mouth is pretty common with KyoAni. I don't know if that's bugging you, but you'll learn to tune it out eventually. Try this though:

edit: Oh lord, Hiromi's gasp at the end of Kyoukai's current episode killed me.

Agreed. I feel a GITS marathon or two coming on next year.
