Have you ever been on a train in Japan, and as a foreigner, found suddenly everyone around you is studying English at that exact moment? This is an example of a standalone complex. . . . . #manga #mangaplease #gits #ghostintheshell #gitssac #ghostintheshellstandalonecomplex #japanesemanga #readmanga #learnwithmanga #studywithmanga #learnjapanese #japanesestudy #studyjapanese #japanesestudies #japanese #jlpt #kanji #learnkanji #studykanji #日本語 #日本語勉強 #マンガ #漫画 #まんが #マンガで勉強 #漫画で勉強 #漢字勉強 #攻殻機動隊 #攻殻機動隊sac https://www.instagram.com/mangaplease/p/Bvj8J8XAPGB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ppp3nc0dxf3n

You ever remember that scene from GITSSAC when makoto single arm reloaded a anti material rifle and go like “wow, women”

Honest Question

What modern anime series are better than Stand Alone Complex? (I say modern, because imo all old anime is better than new, but SAC is like my standard for modern stuff)

[wolkovitzky]

Trying to watch "Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex" from 1st ep, and still not exactly getting all the hype. I'm on ep. 3 rn. Is it getting much better, or should I give up now? #gits #gitssac

Do you watch anime?

I.... Do, but in waves. I was in the anime club in highschool, where we watched Wicked City, Ninja Scroll (movie), Ghost in the Shell (movie), Mononoke Hime, Grave of the Butterflies, the insane Street fighter anime, a lot of what would now be considered old school. I hated Dragonball, refused to watch sailor moon, what have you. Some hentai here and there. Hilarious for people to ask you what is a good place to start and answer La Blue Girl or Legend of the Overfiend. Over time... A few gundams (the super American ones, wing, iron blooded orphans, unicorn kinda?), TTGL, tried to hang with Naruto, One Punch Man was awesome, GitSSAC was dope, Paranoia Agent. Wolf's Rain was ok, too much "waaaaah I have feelings". I weave in and out, definitely not watching it all the time.

Post-Cyberpunk - A Balance of Light and Dark

Post-Cyberpunk is a term I originally came across a few years ago on TV Tropes. It refers to a sub-type of cyberpunk rather than a separate genre. Post-Cyberpunk works are still cyberpunk. Now first off I want to admit that I might be completely misinterpreting what post-cyberpunk is suppose to mean and I know what could be considered post-cyberpunk is open to debate. I merely use the term (possibly incorrectly) to refer to cyberpunk which isn’t quite as dystopian as some cyberpunk can be. What I want to talk about here is why it’s my favourite type of cyberpunk and in order to do that I’m going to use Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex as an example.

To put it simply I like post-cyberpunk because it provides a balance between light and dark, it shows a world that’s neither a dystopia or utopia. There are parts of the world that are bad but there are also things that are good, it’s not unrelentingly grim. In general I like to see this contrast in stories, I like some stories which are darker and some which are lighter but ultimately I think having contrast in tone regardless of what you are overall going for is a good thing. Some cyberpunk stories are basically “grr, technology is evil” which usually makes me roll my eyes. In post-cyberpunk technology is essentially neutral, what matters is how people use that technology, it can improve people’s lives or make them worse. And I find transhumanism, the idea of using technology to improve the human condition to be a fascinating theme to explore. Likewise the technology itself is just really cool. Morality tends to be grey rather than simplistic black and white, good vs evil and the problems people face are often far reaching societal issues which can be difficult (although not impossible) to fix. In post-cyberpunk the world can get better or worse and while things may never be perfect there is room for optimism, things can improve.

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a good example of what I’ve been talking about. The world is very much a mixed bag. There have been two more world wars, poverty and inequality is still a huge problem, governments and corporations both are horribly corrupt and all manner of other awful things still happen. But there are still good things in the world, lots of people still live relatively normal lives and there is still joy to be found. Technology can be used for nefarious ends like the Individual Eleven virus which is a computer virus which infects people’s brains and causes them to do terrible things but it can also be used to improve lives like how many people’s lives are better due to cyberization. In terms of morality people run the gamut, sure you have genuinely good people like the Tachikomas and terrible people like Ghoda but on the whole people and morality is more complicated than that. Take Section 9 for example, they’re the heroes and are for the most part good sure but they have murdered people and they still work for a government that is shown to be corrupt and doesn’t seem to have people’s best interests at heart. As for complicated issues, the refugee crisis in the 2nd GIG is a problem that can’t be resolved by simply shooting Ghoda in the face but that doesn’t mean people can’t try to improve the lives of the refugees.

So I’ve rambled a lot, possibly incoherently. Hopefully I’ve gotten what I was trying to say across and haven’t just wasted your time. To sum up I do like stories/settings with a lighter tone and stories/settings with a darker tone and I by no means inherently dislike more dystopian cyberpunk. But something I like about post-cyberpunk is how it shows us a world that is neither a dystopia or a utopia, where good things and bad things happen, where things can get better or worse and where technology is ultimately neutral, what matters is how we use it.
