One of the most hilariously “right in your face” implication through all three seasons of Gits Sac is that on one (un)marvelous day CIA is going to start eliminate witnesses to operation “Sunset” which of course includes Batou. But apparently none in elite section 9 can put two and two together lol

#gits #gits sac #Ghost In The Shell #stand alone complex #batou #operation sunset #major major #life hasnt taught you anything has it?#anime and manga #apparently the person who killed Kuze is the same guy Batou and Togusa rode with in very 10 episode #hideo kuze #and what are going to do then motoko?

Stormbringer last scene

He quietly stared up at the vast blue firmament. He was looking at something—something that was once beneath this sky—something that was about to happen. Chuuya found something in that sky. His eyes conveyed as much. He then said into his phone: “Boss… Thank you.” He could sense Mori smiling on the other side of the line. After hanging up, Chuuya put on his helmet and started riding down the street from which he came, facing forward and never looking back again. His motorcycle faded into the vast clear-blue sky, gradually shrinking until he could be seen no more.

Reading this the first time, it set off a "you've seen something like this before" alarm. Reading it again after the Ghost in the Shell short story, I realized where I'd seen it. The last episode of Stand Alone Complex: 2nd Gig ends with the Section 9 team having an "endless cherry blossom watching party" while they wait for government reorganization. It ends with Major Kusanagi making a phonecall to Chief Aramaki, then everyone hopping on their new roller tanks and setting off down the highway. Everyone but Motoko. She stops to look at the sky, feel the breeze blowing, then follows it sightwise back towards the city before saddling up and heading down the highway (a lot like Chuuya does).

It took a couple hours of reading (and hoping I didn't need to dig out the DVDs to rewatch 2 full seasons) to find that. But Adam in Stormbringer already shows a lot of similarity to Motoko and her various remote bodies, her net avatar Nova, and Hideo Kuze (who Asagiri wrote about in Soft and White).

SORRY SEEING HITOSHI OZAWA REMINDED ME pleeeeeeease please please please if you never take any of my recs again (<- being dramatic) PLEASE watch The Clan's Heir is a Trans Woman at some point... it is, as the title says, about a trans woman who's the successor to a yakuza family... it's got overwhelmingly positive reviews and it IS fucking incredible I'm not over it...

But Here's Why It's Worth A Watch Specifically As An RGG Fan:

Written and directed by Ozawa (he killed it on both counts)

Stars multiple RGG FCs (listing with who they played for convenience): Obviously Ozawa himself (Kuze in Y0), Hideo Nakano (Shibusawa in Y0), Yoshiyuki Yamaguchi (Tsuruno in Gaiden), and Yasukaze Motomiya (Shishido in Gaiden)

According to Motomiya, this basically came about as a bunch of trans-positive actors getting together to support Ozawa's project. For me that was a big deal because pretty much the entire cast is incredibly prolific in V-Cinema (direct-to-video action movies; I think direct-to-video has a negative connotation in the West but I don't think that's the case in Japan). Half the OG and Neo V-Cine Four Kings star in this movie, and all of them have starred in RGG at this point, so if nothing else I was pleasantly surprised to not have to disavow several of my favorite actors for this movie...

Also in the same article as Motomiya's comment, Nakano (who plays a detective) said he wished he got to play a trans woman so he "wouldn't have to craft a role." OK queen <3

Tonally just very RGG with how it blends spectacle and comedy and hard-hitting drama sometimes back-to-back... some of the themes and writing choices definitely struck me as RGG as well despite this coming out before Ozawa's involvement... lmao... I thiiiiink there's also a pretty overt reference in the climactic scene to Kiryu's iconic Step The Fuck Up line to look forward to :)

The Cartoonishly Bigoted Villain played by Motomiya kept reminding me of Mine and Aoki for some reason?? Maybe it was his Mine-stache and costuming and how lame his lines are. Maybe it was the way he runs his clan. Anyway it was funny To Me because I HC both of them as trans

Many opportunities to hallucinate about transfem Arakawa!

That is all... I rest my case... I will say obviously transphobia and homophobia (on the part of the characters) are Constants 'cause a lot of it's about portraying bigotry and acceptance on an individual level + the subs kinda go overboard on the slurs... so I can get if it'd be tiring or something... but yeah... good movie...

You had me at Simply Recommending Something LMAO DONT WORRY ill check it when i can :]

#snap chats #i do be watching spiderverse rn.. lol…#maybe ill watch it before my class tomorrow it starts at noon i think an im well awake before that #i cant wait to hallucinate omg…#MOST excited to watch you know i love crazy movies If Its Anythin RGG Like #ok i should prob pay attention to this movie. even if i seen it before HELP #most excited to watch this movie later..

Ten Films I LOVE

tagged by my comedy partner in crime, the tsukkomi to my boke; @zurdoabsurdo

Shark Skin Man and Peach Hip Girl (1999 dir. Katsuhiro Ishii) This is my movie. Movie of all time. Rotten Tomatoes can eat my ass with their 25% rating. A yakuza on the run for stealing from the boss from a wacko cast of assassins with a clever girl in tow. It's what Tarantino wishes he could make.

Heat (1995 dir. Michael Mann) I mean, come on. AlPacino, Robert DeNiro, Val Kilmer, Tom Sizemore, Ashely Judd, Mykelti Williamson? This movie could not fail even if that was the goal.

The Accountant (2001 dir. Ray McKinnon) It's a short film, and Ray is actually from the town I've lived in the last twenty years, so I have a soft spot for him. Ray is so captivating as an actor, and this film was something else. It's somber but still moving.

Straight Talk (1992 dir. Barnet Kellman) It's a cornball romcom, but it's DOLLY PARTON'S romcom. I love this movie to pieces. I even have one of the original movie posters. Unfortunately I have to also look at James Woods' face lol.

Tombstone (1993 dir. George P. Cosmatos) Another that's like, be serious. I love westerns and the outlaw/lawman yeehaw bullshit. You know how it is with yeehaw bullshit.

Deadland Inferno/Zアイランド (2015 Hiroshi Shinagawa) An action zombie comedy. This one is for the yakuza gworls (gn). Basic we have a plan to get to safety from zombies and hijinks ensuse. Sho Aikawa, SHINGO TSURUMI MY BABY BOY BABY, Hideo Nakano, Hitoshi Ozawa, Sawa Suzuki. So like...dead souls but you're playing as Takasugi, Sagawa, Shibusawa, and Kuze LOL

The Bridges of Madison County (1995 dir. Clint Eastwood) Romance between an older couple, bittersweet partings, it's everything. I'm a closet die hard romantic.

My Dead Dad (2021 dir. Fabio Frey) I watched this for Raymond Cruz and wasn't expecting much but it really hit me. For reasons of my own dead dad that I was estranged from, but there were so many pieces that were like snapshots of my own teens years. The skate parks and ugly fucking skate shoes, weed, sour beer. It's also beautifully shot. It was my movie of 2022.

Grosse Pointe Blank (1997 dir. George Armitage) The soundtrack fucking rips. Probably one of my favorites ever. Joe Strummer put his whole pussy in it. A black comedy, John Cusack & Minnie Driver? Hot stuff

The Devil's Advocate (1997 dir. Taylor Hackford) MY GAY AWAKENING, A MOVIE I HAD NO BUSINESS WATCHING UNDER THE AGE OF TEN. I was obsessed with this movie. Tamara Tunie only had a small part man....she changed my life forever. If you love the tropes of good and evil, the devil, lawyers, Keanu Reeves with a terrible southern drawl, watch this :)

Tagging @necrotizer @coffeemakesmeahappybean @xyndario and anyone else that wants to share their favorite films <3

“Of course you think I’m a mo-mo-mo-Monster... everyone else d-d-d-d-d-“ Kuze had to punch himself in the chest to stop the vocal glitch, his robotic shell failing him, “Does....”
