Word of the Day: Ghost in the Shell

Batou is 100% a car enthusaist.  

AND, the voice acting in the English dub has more impact than the original Japanese, fight me.

In reply to red_stapler :

I know watching with subs is "more authentic," but it's just easier to watch and enjoy dubbed.

Besides, the dubs are way better now than they used to be back in the day.

I still have my VHS copy from college

For this anime . . . I agree 100%. The english voice acting is awesome.

Grassroots AnimeSports? I like.

I've noticed that Mazda in particular seems to throw a lot of advertising bucks at anime studios. I can't count how many movies where you watch and every other car on the road is a generic blob but then there'll be a perfectly drawn FD3S RX-7 or all the billboards are for fictional products but then there'll be a billboard for Mazda Proceed pickup. I know the best example I can think of currently is Summer Wars. Every car is like a GTA car, but the one character has a police RX7 that is drawn correct down to the last detail.

sorry, I can't stand dubs. I got pretty good at understanding Japanese after more than a few years of watching Anime. As for Ghost in the Shell, I absolutely loved the music of the movie, harmoniously eerie. 

There are also more than a few spin offs too. All are equally as good

The tv show, Stand Alone Complex, was fantastic as well. 

The mini series "ghost in the shell - Arise" was also very good.

FWIW, I almost scrubbed this one at the last minute for fear of it being too out there. 

Oh man, y'all would love Gunsmith Cats.
