I was wondering when they'd finally show Ghost In The Shell. They've had the rights to it for a while now.

ya know, the site probably won't have anything (well, maybe on the forums). usually, they don't put anything up unless the show has started, um, showing

Hrm...is the Ghost in the Shell series anywhere near as violent as the movie? If so, I'll have to tape everthing but that or my mom'll kill me...

Ghost in the Shell is gonna be on AS!? I'm there...

And no it won't be as violent it will go through some editing too anyway just like every other show.

Um... My friend sent me a clip from SAC... It sorta resembles the opening scene in the Movie (the assassination) only she's rescuing someone instead of just assassinating the guy... SAC still has the exploding bullets (tphttth... splat!) So, yeah... I'm almost certain those scenes will be cut out on Adult Swim... The brain crushing scene was cut out of "Second Rennaisance" when they showed the Animatrix, so I think the ubergory scenes are definately out... Though, with what they've been showing on the American half of Adult Swim, they'd really be hypocrites (well, allready ARE hypocrites...)

Read or Die... I have only seen the first ep, but there seemed to be a "vibe" between the paper girl and the girl who can fall through floors and walk through walls. Are my suspicions correct, anyone who's seen it?

As for FMA, my friend has been begging me to check it out, so if it comes on before september, I'll watch it.

The TV series for ROD is very different from that series Bob... I don't even think that those charachters are in it.

As for GITS: SAC... I'm probabaly going to collect the DVDs and watch it on CN.. I'm a bit of a Cyberpunk fan.

Please, before we start this up all over again, there was NO "vibe":eyeroll: as you call it between the paper and Ms. Deep - it was most definitely a sisterly relationship, as proven at the very end of the show. You need to go read through the review Archan did on this a looooong time ago in the review section. Please, I don't want to get into the same discussion again on this, Bob. :shady:
