  1. Fantastic! I can't wait to see this! It looks like they nailed the atmosphere and the costumes. The Major looks great. Hopefully this movie isn't all style over substance, but honestly if I think about it, I was more interested in the world that GiTS takes place in. If I remember correctly, the stories were very simplistic. Admittedly, it has been awhile since i've seen/read any GiTS.

  2. It's a remake of the 1978 movie Saraba Yamato and the parallel TV series Yamato 2. They basically told the same story (the war against Gatlantis) with a few variations but had vastly different endings. They've said they're going to incorporate certain plot elements from both the movie and the TV series versions.

    The woman in the footage is Teresa. She's a significant character in the plot. Check YouTube for Star Blazers: The Comet Empire. Manga Entertainment still had that up legitimately the last time I checked.

    Thanks for clearing that up!

  3. 100% accu0rate is pretty much impossible, since everyone has a different idea what the "real" version is. Movies, SAC, Arise, comics if you want to be right...

    (As a dirty comics purist, I am bothered that they have cast the major's mom. I like my major with no backstory. But I'll get over it.)

    I'm personally hoping for "mom" to be the person who created the Major's body, not her biological mom. Sort of like the Tachikomas and their "father" in that SAC episode..

  4. Now for some more bad news...

    Rotten Tomatoes Rating: 79% - "Ghostbusters does an impressive job of standing on its own as a freewheeling, marvelously cast supernatural comedy -- even if it can't help but pale somewhat in comparison with the classic original."

    Metacritic Score: 63 out of 100

    Interesting. I wonder how many of the critics that s#!t all over BvS gave this movie a positive review.
