Oh yeah, sorry totally forgot that not only are you a retarded gooner who can only focus on T&A but you're also a totally gormless faggot who hates fun too.
Uh-huh, said the faggots who ramble about how the T&A shit is so imporant. Also, still not hearing counter argument, oh wait there is none because comedy and lighthearted goes against a cyberpunk setting.
No human being has ever once in all of history ever had sex, been nude, nor told a joke. Furthermore, absolutely none of these things have ever been done at inopportune or inappropriate times, and they have CERTAINLY never been used as coping mechanism for grief, stress, or trauma. Nor have they ever been commidified for profit by soulless corporate entities. Including these things in ANY way in a story, especially a story trying to explore what being human even means, is strictly verboten and will result in being called a gooner by a slavic furfag who doesn't even come from a real country.
No no no you have it all wrong.
Tired Cat is.
Love how you just kind of ignored my rebuttal to you on the last page about the comedy in GitS being a bit necessary. But even then, comedy in Cyberpunk settings are necessary for the same reasons as I said before. If it were all bleak nonsense, it'd be so depressing you'd just drive viewers/readers away. It's why even Horror movies or books have some moments of levity unless they're written by some really emotionally fucked up people. There are some comedy examples from other Cyberpunk media.
Demolition Man is another really good example of how a Cyberpunk film can include comedy:
Gunsmith Cats did get an adaptation. It’s fucking kino.
Because GiTS is still popular, especially since it's in that somewhat exclusive club of "Anime that non-Anime people can watch".
Like Mcmitch pointed out, Gunsmith Cats did get an adaptation, it was an OVA with like 3 episodes but it's still peak.
Ye, but besides that, I'm kinda surprised it hasn't gotten more anime adaptions, specially basing it off the manga series. The fact it only gotten one OVA is kinda sad honestly.
Also the only good AMV:it also spawned one of my favorite Fallout memes.
Gunsmith Cats had less of a following. It was an OVA that got limited release in the US whereas GitS premiered at film festivals and had a global release despite not making its money back. Anime is just an expensive commercial for the manga, and if it doesn’t increase manga sales (or the series goes on an eight year break) then it gets limited production. Only now, in this era of nobody wanting to fund works that don’t have a thirty-plus-year history to fall back on are we getting new adaptations.
You can't just say "I can't believe it didn't get an adaptation," and then, when presented with said adaptation, go "no, no, that doesn't count."
There were two CGI movies if I am not mistaken. But it's been years since I watched them so no idea if they are good at all.
