GitS: Arise - First 8 minutes

[Professor Irony]

First 8 minutes of "Ghost Pain", subbed into English via the official youtube for the series.

SATISFACTORY.

 

[-Danielle-]

I need to watch this asap when I get home tonight

 

[Just Passing Through]

Better than I expected, although the villain is obvious...

 

[Vashdaman]

I'll take Prof's "SATISFACTORY", and trust in God. I'd rather wait until it releases proper before dipping in. Chances are this will be streamed via Crunchyroll or something once it hits Japan I'm guessing?

Funimation has it so it might just get a region-locked US-only stream, unless one of the UK companies decides to act.

So, looks like a fresh take rather than any kind of continuation, I can't see any reason why this won't turn out good/great

I concur. Tempting as it is to see what it's like, I don't really want to watch a whole eight minutes of something I can't continue to watch.

 

[Professor Irony]

That's fair enough.

For those wanting to wait, I was certainly quite happy with the direction of it so far. The story seems to be business as usual and the artwork actually looks very nice when you see it in motion. It's a shame they couldn't have brought back Yoko Kanno to do the opening theme (the accompanying animation is also deeply underwhelming compared to previous efforts), but otherwise I remain optimistic.

Ehehehe Motoko was in the 501st...

I liked what I saw. Judging from what little plot we got, we're going to see the official formation of Section 9 if it doesn't already exist.

Also, The Major's character design is actually better this time around. At least this time I'm not worrying about why she's wearing a swimsuit.

To be fair, this is impossible to top:
