Ghost In The Shell SAC/Adult Swim Wank
I'm hoping this is really wank. It is a couple of days old, dead-horse anime wank from the boards at Adult Swim. It's a mini-wank that didn't really take off. Probably because people couldn't stand the smell of decay all around it.



IRC_Fansubber has a bit too much time on his hands and takes his anime very, very seriously. Ghost In the Shell SAC is far too serious to be shown on American television. Americans who watch Adult Swim could never relate to any of this.

Think of world events happening at that time. Think of how the intended audience, people living in Japan, was drawn into the various aspects of the show and which aspects were empathetically reflected back to those people. Think of this series' TV shows, manga, and movies as a whole. Then think of what [adult swim] is doing with it.

A show like this, steeped in political ego and intrigue, set in a world where cyber-terrorism is a frequent threat and interaction with foreign governments and organizations is treated with high suspicion and even higher security, only makes one wonder if the Japanese writers cleverly included some of their own social commentary of real current events into the story, from the perspective of Japan. There happen to be many debatable instances of this throughout the 26 episodes. Among other things, notice how the two American CIA agents are portrayed in episode 10, "Perfect Day for a Jungle Cruise", and how other interactions with America, Russia, China, Britain, and their diplomats are portrayed and dealt with in other episodes.

Dude. It's Ghost In The Shell. We know.

He goes on and on for many lines with random bolding and much linking.



Then - through it all, his reasoning becomes crystal clear - it isn't political intrigue, or a burning anger at the stupidity of the unwashed masses! It's just more of teh same dub vs. sub wank that just refuses to die in the anime fandom.
