GitS Sequel and Appleseed Remake Are Coming

LocusMote writes "Masamune Shirow, the creative genius behind the manga and anime Ghost in the Shell , has a few new irons fresh from the fire. One of his earlier manga, Appleseed, already exists as a rather disappointing television quality anime. Shirow thought so too, apparently. He went back to the original manga storyline, blew off the dust, and has produced a beautiful new all-CG Appleseed which hits the Japanese theaters in April. (Quicktime required) Oh yeah, there's a Ghost in the Shell sequel in the pipeline, too, called Innocence ... w00t!" Beautiful.

    The Passion of the Christ spoiler - The Jews kill Jesus!

    Seriously, though, go see this movie. It is fucking hilarious. Why?

    Not because of the movie, but everyone's reaction to it. I saw it, and all the evangelical x-tians walked out crying. You could hear the sobs during the movie. What a bunch of fucking morons. I'm sure they'll all run out and vote for GWB.

      It wasn't them, it was the Canadians.

    Freaking out people with pictures from Wild Wet West is even better. I mean, does that cowgirl lactate or what?!!

    if by "freaking out" you mean "beating off to furiously until all the lactic acid built up in your biceps causes weakness in your skeletal system and the callouses on your hand burn bright red tracks into your flesh popsicle that sear with pain as the sweat runs into the torn flesh", then I agree with you!

    What's with the modding/modders? Is he/she really a Troll? There's nothing *wrong* with this person's opinion and they aren't disrespecting anybody.

    I thought it was interesting enough of a view point to respond with the opposite view point. Thus, conversation ensues, regarding anime and fiction, here, on a Discussion Board. What's the big deal?

    This is a good example of how modding can really stifle innocent discussion.
