People don't like the GiTS manga because the anime is as serious as a car crash and the manga isn't. That's literally all it is.
It kind of reminds me of people who only watched DBZ and then tried to read the manga from the start, only to be thrown off by how full of humor it is.

DBZ has humor in it but it's toned down a lot compared to early dragon ball.

Very similar story with GiTS. The manga isn't bad, it's just that it isn't as somber as the anime and so people who watch the show for "the vibes" as the kids say don't mesh well with it.
 
I prefer the serious tone from the first and second movie (and Stand Alone Complex) but we are also due a proper adaptation. I guess they will do minimum three seasons and then let the IP rest for a while again.
It's okay to like both. I don't know why fags have to make it part of their personality which version of GiTS they like. Nobody gives a shit about Laughing Man's and Tired Cat's otaku street cred.

It's the old beef between anime/manga purists that's been around forever. There are dipshits that are fans of all types of manga and anime that only accept one medium or the other.

Dragon Ball fans are the worst example of this. Anime fans only accept the anime as canon, filler, movies and all.

Meanwhile manga purists only accept the manga.

You can ignore both and admit that the anime took liberties. It's okay guys.

Fullmetal Alchemist has the same problem where fans of 2003 will ONLY accept that 2003 is canon and ignore the manga.
 
Just finished watching the sub version of Berserk 1997 with my girlfriend. Pretty decent, I think I prefer the dub though since it's what I rewatched the most. A lot of the Japanese voice acting isn't as raw and emotional as the Dub.

I informed her to just start reading the manga online after this since there will never be a good adaptation of the rest of the story. It's how I got into the series.
