Who gives a shit about Kusanagi, are Togusa and most importantly the Tachikomas in it? |

No mention of Togusa or the Tachikomas yet. I'd be surprised it the weren't, though. |

Book adaptations have been 'anglo-saxonified' ever since the dawn of times, but why is this now such a big deal? I know, because it involves something nerds like, and if the internet taught us anything these last few years is that nerds are the absolute worst. Except me. |

We already know what Kusanagi is supposed to look like. You're not convinced because you're on the right side of the fence on this one. Do you read that many novels that weren't originally written in english? Besides, if you're using what the character looks like originally, she doesn't look asian at all. |

Craster doesn't like anime. He gets annoyed when they only animate the hair, for example, and the rest of the scene is static. So it's a good job he slept through the bit on the boat where they spend quite a lot of time animating nothing at all. He also slept through the fight in the water and the chase leading up to it. |

Erm, it had a big robot guy and a girl and at the beginning they have a shoot out on a train. And they have to get some batteries from a gangster by doing jobs for him. Ring any bells? |
