Ghost In The Shell For Teh Win!
<div class="IPBDescription">Stand Alone COmplex : 2nd GIG</div> Honestly, I was looking for some Tachikoma pictures because they pwn so much, then I stumble across this XD
I didn't know that a 2nd one was in the making, and being devoid of TV because my sister-in-law's watching DVDs all day, I was cut off from TV, and more specifically, Stand Alone COmplex <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
So yeah, I watch this, all I can say is that it's really nice serious anime, heck I liked it even more than the original (mainly due to subtitles though, TV has it in chinese, and I suck at chinese)
Plus, the singer for the opening song is that same singer, but newer and more rump-kickin song than Inner Universe XD (And yes, it has more russian in it, but it sounds good anyway)
And Tachikoma's r0x0r!
All I can say is watch it if you're bored, you'll soon grow to like it. Finally, something to latch onto for 1 and a half month <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->

im even using the same software "production ishikawa goku" is using <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> makes it look pretty authentic
but its not the newer version from second gig.. it doesnt look much different
Okay, I'm off to look for those make it yourself Tachikomas out there on the net. You know, those prnt-out-and-fold-yourself ones XD
Damn those things are good. Not too mention they sound funny XD
it have taken a day to rebuild the tachikoma in 3d.
with the cellshader plugin the rendered picture looks like a drawing <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo-->
or like one directly out of the show
a) I had some modelling experience
b) am not running on a budget card.
Seriously, I would go too much into detail ^_^;
Ah, btw, the tachikoma's in the series are actually models too, with a celshader plugin. Talk about ownage XD
Man I wish they were real now so I wouldn't be bored for the rest of the holidays <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->

ive already said im using exactly the same software they used in the show <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
But yeah, I think this discussion is becoming more model-oriented, and less anime oriented, and that looks bad ^^;
Seriously, has nobody watched this yet other than me and sheena here?
EDIT : And one last off-topic question, but HOW MANY POLIES DOES THAT BABY WEIGH?!
Seriously, that's a heck load of polies there XD
maybe you could use it in halflife6

i love this russian,english,japanese,latin,gaelic mix shes using

You know, I say that the philosphy of it scared me somewhat, but when I watched FMA those things didn't bother me at all. It must just be the neopunk-esque setting, where all the characters seem distopian. In full metal alchemist, a bunch of characters maintain hope, despite all the monstrosities made by people.
Fortunately, you'll barely see any of these in this series. I have watched 1, 3 and 4 (2 rejects for some reason....) and I haven't seen any related things in it anymore.
Besides, Motoko looks cool in that black uniform....which reminds me, I haven't bought the PS2 game yet <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/sad.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad.gif' /><!--endemo-->
I really like how they've managed to keep it original, yet true to the first season. I can't wait to see what they do to Gouda, or he does to them by the end of the series. <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/biggrin.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin.gif' /><!--endemo-->
And they brought back the tachikomas! I was hoping they would come back. They're too good to keep away. It's also good that they kept the musical theme the same, I love almost all of Yoko Kanno's work.
The only thing I find silly in the series, is that it takes all other parts of computers and the internet seriously, but the hacking sequence in episode 9 where they shoot homing missles at actual walls (although they're not on fire) just doesn't fit in.
Also, is it just me, but are Pazu and Boma nearly useless?
And sheena, that cell shaded tachikoma is unbelievable (as is all of your work..). <!--emo&:0--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html//emoticons/wow.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='wow.gif' /><!--endemo-->
2nd Gig Pwns too. :D
