I do feel bad for all the peeps that left after the credits for episode 2 though, since they put on the lights and all so I think they didn't realise they had to wait, oops! Buy yes, if you have the opportunity do give it a watch on the big screen, the music pops so much! Can't wait for July 7th!

Kit @kitnibbles.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

The making of from afterwards was quite sweet too, but would've much preferred getting to see another episode, though we got some extra sneak peeks, and yes, seeing all the passion going into this was great but the poor creature who was like, uh, what's GITS, left me unsure what to think? ;w;

I love how well they adapted the little mannerisms and how closely they managed to stick to the manga panels, especially the little character interactions and emotion, and aha, *that* scene wasn't awkward at all to watch in cinema!

Kit @kitnibbles.bsky.social · 26/06/2026

Hope all the peeps who had the chance to watch the new Ghost in the Shell anime's first 2 eps enjoyed it as much as I did! I was a wee bit afraid how the new English VAs would fit but it was all soooo good, Aramaki and the good major especially! They did such a wonderful job adapting the manga.

Aha, it's a very valid train (👀) of thought, I feel - always very tricky for adaptations into such different genres to hit right with everyone. I haven't played this myself but saw bits on YouTube and it does look properly spooky - and there are plenty of games Sasha and I try that end up not tat!

Aha, the music is definitely one of the things I remember most fondly from Sasha's and my play-through of it, and this song sure is even more of a banger than I had in mind! We have a vinyl of the OST and this gave me an excuse to whip it out and enjoy it a bit.

Aww, Kit and I just finished Salt and Sanctuary, playing it co-op with me as the sellsword. Kit played it in the past on the Vita, but this is her first time playing it all the way through. Wonderful 2D Souls-like with such a compelling plot and world.
