so the new GITS is much more about ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃｓ. the movie explains itself very easily. story and music remain in the background. there's no room for deeper thoughts about the real topic. here and there are some plot changes but overall it's just a decent, but good looking copy of the animu. oh, and aramaki is still speaking japanese. i guess its a culture thing :smirk:
