I strongly prefer the non-bukake OP

>>108347 #
I forget, where did the body come from? I assumed it was still her mind even if the ai was in there too

>>108347 #
So you are saying her soul is in the new body ?

>>108347 #
Come to think of it, what's the plot of Solid State Society? I barely remember it.

>>108359 #
in the first movie the major's body was destroyed (maybe her brain was fine, I forget) so they transferred her to a kid's body because the japs were trying to make it symbolic of rebirth or something idk.
>>108360 #
it's open for interpretation
>>108361 #
I forget also but I think the Major took a back-seat role operating basically as a comsciousness from the net IIRC
>>108370 #
The timelines are but the themes and universe generally has the same implications where the question is really what makes someone defined as more than just a machine with intelligence

Cosplay outfit!

>the pentagram

First Purin missed the pentagon!

The burger government bombed it's own citizens over unionization, you are a foreign country Purin.

>>108363 #
I thought SAC was in a separate continuity to the movies.

damn I forgot he straight up de-brained Bouma

how is he fighting her at all? isn't he normal human?

>>108381 #
They're really ambiguous about Togusa for some reason.

>>108383 #
He's supposed to be like noir cop right?

>>108381 #
he has combat training or programming or whatever you wanna call it
and she was made of 3d printed meat

Is this the mindfuck beginning? Everyone is getting killed off and replacements are appearing.

she looked like she was carrying phrenology calipers

>>108390 #
hes you could say that lol

oh ice block or wood type carrier

>I used live rounds, how could this happen?

>>108402 #
I assume she thought she wouldn't hit him like the first 10k rounds

I'm fairly lost otherwise

don't worry, you're about to become totally lost

I like jazzy music in anime

Do these elevators exist irl?

>>108447 #
I don't think so.

>>108447 #
The giant freight elevator?

This could also be an origin story for the borg, just saying.

When else does N stand for?

>>108447 #
No. They're purely an akira-ism.

>>108464 #
I've seen them in games and mech shows and dreams
just wondering if they were real

Purin is a pure LLM soulless automaton.

>>108468 #
I think some are older but will have to check after this

NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

Motoko pulled the plug right?

Ugh. I hate ambiguous endings.

I hope I saved the early episodes, I want to compare now.

>>108481 #
its extra ambiguous because Bato obviously remembered Purin in this new reality, and Purin obviously retained her memories or she wouldnt have cried.

>>108486 #
Why did everyone else forget? Motoko must have not pulled the plug.

Do anons want me to encode either ending from season 2?
>>108487 #
Never take a japanese ending seriously.

>>108487 #
yeah after watching it twice I tnink that's the best explanation
>>108489 #
this one was cool though because it's open-ended enough to allign with the second movie

>>108490 #
Also, Motoko's ending speech to Batou indicates this because let me translate
>if I see you 500 years from now
>this is how I will remember you
She babbles on about space travel so it must be the "muh evolution" ending, "muh new phase of humanity".

>>108470 #
LLMs don't have emotions!

>>108492 #
But they can fake emotions!

Emo jesus said Purin doesn't have a soul or "ghost".

>>108495 #
>Emo jesus
lol, he also said he didn't contend for the major's tight spandex suit so he clearly doesnt know everything

>>108494 #
>But they can fake emotions
so can I!

The stupid kid basically put everyone into a narcissistic echo chamber and called it progress. For the upper classes it's just another way to keep the lower classes working happily.

>>108500 #
I never played that game.

>>108499 #
It reminds of enslaved odyssey to the west

Crazy Awesome Paratrooper should have shot the boy.

But on the other hand, Motoko knows he's a fucking stupid 14 year old so she pulled the plug.

I'm less concerned with how to interpret the ending and more concerned about doublethink IRL and what the archoons are probably doing with my real body

>>108504 #
You know Motoko pulled the plug because if she didn't, they couldn't make a sequel.

>>108505 #
I'm okay with conscious self-induced doublethink if both work out

>>108506 #
I don't think they planned on making a sequel tbh, the reboot will probably just get more seasons and movies if they keep working on the series

Back to the main thread

It left me wanting... something.

>>108510 #
It's not a conclusion.

What comes after SAC_2045?

we can watch the second movie Innocence next whenever there's a good time
>>108511 #
>What comes after SAC_2045?
plot wise? im pretty sure Innocence could be viewed as almost a sequel if she pulled the plug iirc.
If she didnt pull it then world pileace was achieved and there is no more terroras
>>108515 #
first movie this weekend maybe?
>>108514 #
next wednesday maybe?

>>108511 #
Agenda 2030

>>108512 #
We'll have one spare Frieren in a little more than a week, we could do it then
or any time I don't care

I'll post encodes of the season 2 OP and ED here in a few minutes.
>>108512 #
I'd prefer to watch the first move before innocence.

>>108512 #
No definitely pulled the plug because otherwise there is no need for Section 9.

>>108518 #
it would still exist from Motoko's POV in her idealized double think reality though, even if there was nothing really crazy for them to do.
It's even debatable if the pulling the plug thing wasn't just part of the double think too, allowing her consciousness to resolve the situation and close the plot holes for herself

I hate those kinds of endings because if a sequel is made, then an ending must be picked.

technically this is futaba's pick but whatever, thank you for coming anons. The series seems to have been quite popular. I'm tentatively scheduling 3 episodes of bocchi on wednesday and 3 episodes of shoujo revue on sundays (assuming shiki can make that). After those I can't think rn of any tv shows or anime to group watch, the wednesday slot is likely going to be permanent and it'll be up for grabs like movie nights. Not sure about sundays long term.
