[edit] Release date

When is it coming out? I'm very eager to see it! --Cyde↔Weys 03:47, 12 June 2006 (UTC)

Nothing has been announced yet, unfortunetly. --Liz 10:44, 2 July 2006 (UTC)

Who put the "Q1 2007" their? Has it been stated that that is around the time they'll release it? --Rebirth 01:43, 26 December 2006 (UTC)

[edit] No merge?

I'm surprised Ned Scott didn't propose this page to merge into the main SAC page also... I'd oppose such a merger though. 132.205.93.88 23:50, 4 July 2006 (UTC)

It hasn't come out yet, so.. I wasn't sure what to say about it... also, your oppositions is lacks logic. -- Ned Scott 05:02, 5 July 2006 (UTC)

Why does it lack logic? It is a feature film with a new plot. Check out any film and you will see that sequels have different pages from the first film. Why this personal crusade to merge all under the sky? (pun intended) --Energman 17:48, 19 August 2006 (UTC)

... you seem to be confused, I am not in favor of merging this article. -- Ned Scott 06:22, 20 August 2006 (UTC)

you said "your opposition lacks logic" (edited to be readable). I say his opposition can be backed up--Energman 09:16, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

Heh, didn't notice my typo. I was talking about his opposition on other GITS articles. I do not disagree with him on the matter of this article. -- Ned Scott 09:50, 21 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] alternative poster

poster, this one is probably an early version. Cliché Online 17:04, 29 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Copyvio on plot section

A lot of the plot section is taken directly from http://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/47_/index.html. It needs to be written. kollision 15:54, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

I rewrote the entire plot section, so that should solve the copyright violation issue. I removed the revision notice at the top of the page since it seems unnecessary now. TankRamp 05:03, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

With regards to the plot section, it's written that "Kugutsu Mawashi can be roughly translated to "Puppeteer". Within the rest of the plot section, the phrase Kugutsu Mawashi is then used. Would it not be easier for an English-speaking audience to just refer to this mysterious entity as the Puppeteer, instead of using Japanese that the casual reader might mistake for a specific person's name? I'm therefore changing all references of "Kugutsu Mawashi" to "the Puppeteer." After all, most people will see this movie subbed and the sub for the entity will be in the English. Thus, if someone sees the movie and comes here for plot clarification, they may become confused reading the Japanese. I know it's an imperfect translation but it can't be helped. Or am I just nuts here??

[edit] Spoilers out of spoilers section

Since the Tachikoma were 'destroyed' in the ending of 2nd Gig, I believe that listing the Tachikoma on the Voice Cast is kind of giving up the plot of the movie (they 'reappear' halfway of the movie), and therefore should be removed from the voice cast list, or listed as ??? or something. Just a thought. 201.153.114.233 04:09, 5 September 2006 (UTC)

Hay, thanks for shining that big old spotlight on the very detailed spoiler there, jerk. The spoiler section lists a very rudimentary plot outline, I see no relevant details. I wouldn't have noticed if you hadn't pointed it out. I figured they would be back, but the hows, whens, and whys, I would have preferred to see the film. Thanks again. Love, Tarkaan 00:21, 21 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fixing Links

I'm not terribly sure how to do this, but can someone redirect the Rhizome link under Trivia from the botanical term to the philosophical? It seems more appropriate. - Eltargrim (Sorry, stealth edit)

[edit] Opening and Ending songs translation

You erase english translation of the lyrics as copyvio ? Weird ... It is a FREE translation of russian lyrics i can't get it ...

[edit] Kanji Palm Tatoo.

Is there anyways to get it in a .jpeg rather than .pdf or whatever?

[edit] Striking Resemblance

Anyone else notice that this movie is a remake of the first Ghost in the Shell film but adapted to the Stand Alone Complex storyline with several plot changes?

There were some things that did homage to the original, but that's about it. Fatalis 15:49, 11 January 2007 (UTC)
