The music for both was partly inspired by Bulgarian folk singing.
Was there any reason why they chose this genre of music?
fits the atmosphere, sounds awesome. music choice for media is based on vibes alone.
God I fricking love Bulgarian bridal choirs
Japanese creators just have a good feeling for stuff that sounds awesome
I remember linking this opening a lot

It's very unique.
I heard it sampled before, but never heard the original.
So that's where that comes from.
kino
btw don't play this game, it had some interesting tech but overall it was a bad game
yeah but that ghost in the shell movie came out way before nier automata,
Nope. Automata was heavily influenced by GitS and the 1980s/1990s cyberpunk anime in general.
It was one of the first thing I noticed already 8 years ago, and one of the many things I love about it.
Ghost in the Shell is hilarious because the characters treat the internet with mysticism and spirituality as the aggregate of all humanity and a place to birth godlike beings, instead of just being an endless flood of corporate and government propoganda.
yeah, the japs obviously thought of the internet and technology as some crazy possible divine power back then as you can tell from the literal first words on the screen that say something like "blah blah blah thought technology would get rid of the divides of race and country blah blah blah" I'm obviously not quoting perfectly. But that really put things into perspective because I was thinking "why the frick would the thought that technology could even get rid of those divides ever cross anybodys mind? the frick?"
I posted my post from bed.
You are reading my thoughts as they are going from my mind to my fingertips and over the net to your screen.
My thoughts enter your mind and "etch" into your memory, your brains synapses are reformed to remember this thought of mine.
While you forget something from your personal past.
If that isnt divine than what is.
? I don't get what's so divine? If anything language itself should be considered divine then, since no other living organisms possesses language to our level, or the capacity for it. What you're describing is just basic human information processing transferred via another medium, nothing special.
I was going to write some big blog post about sci-fi from this era but I realized it’s not worth my time. I just really hate zoomers like you so much.
If I told my late great grandad that there is this ability to be sitting in the toilet in our village, and while simultainously taking a shit, you can converse with someone across the oceans in another part of the world, almost instantainous thought transfer, he would be amazed.
Its beyond writing a letter, going to the town to post it from the post offuce, waiting for months for it to be delivered by boat, waiting for a response...
So in a way you are the one imagining this "telepathy" is mundane as you have no memory of the world before its omnipresence.
>If anything language itself should be considered divine then
Language IS divine, anon. Curses and prayers and blessings and spells and the like are words we believe to have effects, and often is the case that when the mind believes something to be, it will conjure effects upon the body to make those effects a reality whether they are good or bad. Words have power in that they can change minds, break people's will, sway them to abandon their gods, so long as you speak the correct string of words in just the right way to the right sort of people.
>If anything language itself should be considered divine then
It is. In every culture language is supposed to have divine power.
And now I replace parts of your personal past with peepeepoopoohomosexualpeepeepoopoo
>"why the frick would the thought that technology could even get rid of those divides ever cross anybodys mind? the frick?"
That's the general direction we're going, the quote isn't wrong. The timeline is wrong.
>t. using only the surface level corpo shit big sites and services
2B leotard is just like Majors
Ghost in the Shell = Ghost in the Machine.
Come on does it have to be spelled out for you any more clearly?
The actual name is 'armored cyber corps' or some other bullshit, ghost in the shell was a very clever translator ignoring shirows autism (I still love you shirow, please stop drawing Black person wieners)
Ghost in the Shell was Shirow's name for it.
But the publisher thought that sounded gay so they called it "Mobile Armored Riot Police" because it sounds cooler and left GitS as the subtitle.
>hurr I use twitter and it's not like that durr
Isn't it? Technically, it should be more easier than ever to create and empower egregores and shit, considering how much more easily it is to disperse information and belief across the Internet. If the Internet has been corporatized and monetized, then the modern gods are consumer products. After all,
Denoh coil is another good example
I mean it's probably influenced by the 90s and early 2000s internet where it was pretty much a wild west and you can just click something and see a photo of a dude's butthole, not current internet where everything is much more monitored.
It's not influenced by the 90's and 2000's. It was released in '95. It is the thing that was doing the influencing
Right. I guess I was thinking of SAC.
That's how everyone saw the internet prior to the 2010s.
Before ~2008, you had to be at least semi-intelligent to use the internet, so the vast majority of its contents was made by people who had a passion for the internet.
There was an absolute ton of information on it, mostly disconnected from the news or real world events, it was almost its own world, and that's where it really shined for me. It was the last true frontier humanity has ever explored.
Of course with the advent of smartphones, everyone started having a computer, and companies fully grasped hold on the flow of information. It really wasn't always like this.
>It was the last true frontier humanity has ever explored
the frontier of the human mind, explored as a collective, experienced as individuals. what a wonderful time
Back then people were kind of hopeful for some things. We had no idea how it would end up.
Zoomers don't know GITS became way before the internet we know today. LMFAO
The basic message of GITS Stand Alone Complex Season 1 is literally "memes control the masses so corporations control the memes and government funded pharmaceutical companies will always go out of their way to financially fleece the masses rather than find permanent solutions to illnesses." Both of which were proven to be spot on predictions for the next almost 20 years.
That's how it was back in the day. People didn't really have any comprehension of globohomo, even today it's surprising how little people know about it.
I know a Korean, and they're constantly amazed that things they think of as being "Korean" are actually widespread across the rest of the world and not actually Korean at all because they live in a cultural bubble created by the language barrier.
Your average normalgay has only experienced the zombienet, the modern collection of a handful of supergiant sites that control all discourse with the invisible hand of world politic mandated gibberish. Only on the absolute fringes can you find hints of the internet, and they are stamped out the second they attempt to make any inroads to the modern zombienet by an army of unpaid moderation teams who love to flex their "power" by eliminating discourse and ensuring that everyone toes the party line.
>I know a Korean, and they're constantly amazed that things they think of as being "Korean" are actually widespread across the rest of the world and not actually Korean at all because they live in a cultural bubble created by the language barrier.
Give me a few examples.
>characters treat the internet with mysticism and spirituality as the aggregate of all humanity and a place to birth godlike beings
Yes, the 90'.
I'm sorry for you that you did not live in this based era, zoomer.
I HATE ZOOMER Black folk, KYS
GiTS manga came out in 89 when internet was in its early stage and the average person knew nothing about it, especially in Japan. The tv show came out in 2002 and didn't treat internet with any kind of mysticism. Though, one thing you're missing is that their world is quite a bit different than ours. They've got full body cyborgs, androids, intelligent AI, and people dive into internet like another dimension via their ghost.
+ People are forgetting how Japan tech was in advance compared to us at the time
It's actually both and you're moronic not to see it.
Dumb zoomer.
What I want to know is if there are any games that sound like Akira.
I’ve always thought this sounds like a Finnish Akira song
I still have hope that our future will somewhat resemble GiTS
I'm going insane... Started watching Naruto again after 10years, never ONCE have I seen any Naruto threads, then after they start poppinOFF. I STARTED WATCHING GHOST IN THE SHELL A DAY AGO. 1DAY. ONE DAY!! I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANY GitS THREADS BEFORE. AND WHEN I SAY BEFORE. I MEAN 10-14YEARS OF ME SURGIN HERE. I LITERAL HAVE THE OST; LITHIUM FLOWER. ON RIGHT NOWWWW!!!
>I LITERAL HAVE THE OST; LITHIUM FLOWER. ON RIGHT NOWWWW!!!
WOAAAAH!!!! THATS CRRRAAAAZY!!! OMG ARE YOU TRANS? KISS ME! (unironically ironically)
Anyway, I'm still in the middle of watching the movie right now, I've got about 20 minutes left, anybody know if any other GitS content is worth watching or equally critically acclaimed? I'm almost done and I already feel like the length isn't going to be enough to satisfy me
SAC series one and two are great
dammit, I'm actually going to have to watch the anime huh, and not a convenient short film. that's simultaneously a good thing, because I think TV is a better medium to establish depth, and bad, because I haven't finished a full anime series in a long time due to being disillusioned with how consistently shit anime has been in my recent memory.
>OMG ARE YOU TRANS? KISS ME! (unironically ironically)
I still have wiener and also have beard(I'm sure that this would be enough to answer you).
I'm watching the Stand Alone Complex uhhh 'series' right now, think Innocence(movie) comes right after the OG, which.. you're watching? ''I''(ME) would say that It's pretty good(which means nothing to you)
pls watch the series I give you 10rofees
just listened to lithium flower btw, that shit was ass man
>that shit was ass man
are you influencing reality, or if you are being influenced by algorithms?
it has been proven that we notice things only when we are actively looking for them
the threads were there, you just ignored them subconsciously, stupid cat
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_illusion
One of the best gits sac songs coupled with one of the best scenes https://youtu.be/FF21zT4_5ME?si=70I4sATFheJRk7K-&t=41
Hell yeah love that one
track is called cyberbird btw, and yeah it's fricking magic
mf, you're consuming top shelf (in terms of popularity) media and you're surprised that others do it too?
lol
That's rookie stuff. Imagine thinking of memes that don't yet exist and having them materialize 7 months later.
>Started watching Naruto
MODSSSS
As others have said, it's all influenced by Bulgarian choir music.
What games have the GITS SAC sound
Shadow the Hedge.
When will they make a new GitS game?
...is this supposed to mean something?
Basically, controlling the memes of society through social manipulation through concerted, prolonged effort, likely over a long period of time.
I feel like I've heard of something like this in a "Who's Lila?" video essay recently...what're the chances huh
Attempted manipulation of information and obscuring of truth by various groups seeking to control narratives always makes for entertaining vidya. Wouldn't have shit like Deus Ex without it.
I don't get why people find it interesting, I think I've actually experienced something similar to this recently while watching a TV series called "24" and I feel like the conclusion is almost always so face value it's comical, like literally "wow were evil and narrow minded and want to control the world for more money or a better advantage in some yadda yadda"
2045 wasn’t that bad. It kind of retread the plot for, 2nd gig a little but I still enjoyed it.
Did you know one of the composers for Automata also did the soundtrack for Yuki Yuna is a Hero? You can really hear the similarity
Listen to these:
Holy shit, I never made this connection until now. Wonder if it's the same chaos language she's using?
Haha there's always at least one other Yuushabro around. It must especially appeal to people with a Ganker-type personality.
The franchise overall is much better than Madoka in my opinion and at least it had a proper ending while Madokagays are still waiting for their third movie, right?
I was under the impression dark-magical-girl had gone out of vogue now.
>Haha there's always at least one other Yuushabro around.
Admittedly, I dropped it before the final episode and I never watched the other anime nor read the LNs. I don't really like how you need to read the LNs to understand the ending of the anime. Personally, I prefer Magical Girl Raising Project over Yuuki Yuuna. I really like the grim nature of Yuuki Yuuna's setting, but I don't really like how the sacrifice mechanic stopped being a thing at the end of the season. Shit felt like a kick in the balls and blueballing at the same time. Also Karin best girl.
That's too bad. After the first season I thought it was something of a poor man's madoka. It was only after the second that it made me really take notice. Then VNs and the last season really blew my socks of and cemented it for me. The sacrifices are more punishing in the eariler parts of the chronology but I won't go into it in case you ever give it a second look. I'll check out Magical Girl Raising if you say it's good and yes Karin is the best girl out of that particular generation of heroes.
>I'll check out Magical Girl Raising Project
It's a lot of fun. Restart is getting an anime adaption next year, but if you do read them, the LNs are tons of fun. Each girl has one unique ability but the author really likes having the characters use their abilities in really unique ways to kill each other off. Unmarked is basically a standard battle royale, but the rest are more unique in their premises. For example, Limited is takes place in the span of 24 hours and involves three groups of magical girls: one group are criminals trying to stay alive until the barrier goes down and hunt down a fairy, the second are a bunch of new magical girls created by aforementioned fairy, and the third are magical crime enforcer magical girls (and a witch) hunting down the criminals. Plus, there's a lot of cute homages to magical girl anime.
>and the third are magical crime enforcer magical girls (and a witch) hunting down the criminals
Misremembered, the criminals are just trying to stay alive whereas the cops are hunting down the fairy and the criminals.
just listened to some of it. looks like a madoka rip off except if it was ass and not as deep and more stupid, but had better music. nice
madoka created an era of
>what if magical girls
>but DARK
slop that still hasn't ended today
To be fair, Magical Girl Raising Project are a fun set of books. The anime didn't do it justice.
it's misses the whole point of madoka too, it's "dark" without understanding the point of making madoka dark, all the girls still act like moronic caricatures of anime middle school girls, and it doesn't have any subversive or pointful (yes, I just made up a word combining point and meaningful) themes that communicate anything of substance to anybody that any older than 13 years old.
atleast the music is nice. I hate bastardizations tho, and worst of all, people that didn't understand the source material it's aping off of enough to know its a bastardization, you can like your garbage slop all you want but pretending it's anything but slop is a level of shallowness I have trouble giving anything more than picrel to
Madoka may have started a wave of new dark maho shojou anime but it certainly wasn't the first.
This is the same kind of person that will tell you Code Geass isn't a bad copy of Death Note lol.
The Yuki Yuna/Madoka connection is entirely surface level and it's a fundamentally different series.
The annoying lesbian friend doesn't get to take over the universe in YYY for a start
I noticed the similarity too then saw the composer just con confirm my suspicion.
For me, it's...
madoka is ugly i cant stand modern digital animation. they all use the same fugly color palettes.
What I always wonder is don't we fricking have the technology to mimic old anime color palettes digitally? What gives?
you can't mimic soul
yeah...well Ghost In the Shell's ending was about as meaningless and unsatisfying as expected. Guess I just watch stand alone complex next, but honestly the ending left me so uninterested I'm not sure there's any use in me going deeper down the rabbit hole
I love Ghost in the Shell so much its unreal
>musically illiterate really think all chanting = nier and all arpeggios = final fantasy
You hate to see it
Modern gaming is full of pseudo-Hollywood generic slop music so anything besides that stands out more.
>We not live in an era, where people on the site actually downplay the cultural significance of Ghost in the Shell (1995)
I have no words. I am sure I am being baited but hot damn has this site drastically changed in the last 5 - 10 years in terms of anime appreciation.
Cool story grandpa let's get you back to bed
There are large swath that don't just not watch anime but actively shit on it
Election tourists
Covid tourists
Third Worlders
Ganker as you knew it is gone forever
Ganker has imprinted so many thoughts and ideas upon the masses that it will always live on through them long after the website is gone
lmao
>Ghost in the Shell (1989)
Fixed that for you.
the shelling sequence is the pinnacle of animation as a medium
I feel as though Beyond the Bounds is somehow related to this thread.
Still the best GiTS game.
The best gits game is unironically mankind divided. It has the same feel. Amazing atmosphere,music,tone,art direction.
I was REALLY let down when I learned that cyberpunk(genre) is gay as shit and not like gits which is more described as cyber noir. Which is probably why I can't stand anything about cyberpunk 2077
Shame that Psycho Pass is the only franchise left to carry the cyberpunk torch in modern day. SAC 2045 was decent, but had terrible reception, so GiTS will probably hibernate until they reboot the series again.
Pure punishment to be a fan of the genre
?si=3-60Qj1cef3M_-Hp&t=1051
Psycho Pass was garbage.
Why do Motoko like to wear those risqué clothes?
probably because it feels liberating
Because, like every woman, she's a bawd.
Reminder that Motoko is canonically a trans lesbian and theres nothing you chuds can do about it.
yeah but it's the based kind where the body is mechanical and perfect as opposed to the ugly homosexual kind
is this worth watching?
quite good. not very closely related to anything GitS though
manga better
It was okay but it didn't make a big impression on me.
Yes.
Read the manga.
>he doesn't know
damn bros. take me back. anime from the 80s to the mid 00s had so much soul.
>gibberish fake monk chant sounds similar to gibberish fake monk chant
>actual words with meaning
>gibberish
Fitting image for the content of your post.
automata songs use gibberish and it sounds awful
