Since the Akira gif thread went and died off, maybe we can get some Ghost in the Shell gifs up here next?

Considering that the Matrix creators cited the original Ghost in the Shell as an inspiration for their movie, I think turnabout is fair play.

OP gif is from season 2, episode 4.

This gif convinced me not to watch ghost in the shell. I'm tired of lame ass super-power anime characters.

For what it's worth, she's not super-powered "just because", it's because her entire body is cybernetic - her brain is pretty much the only fleshy bit left. There's a great scene in season 1 where a mech stomps her head straight into the pavement - her head is reinforced metal, so the pavement is what gives way first.

That still doesn't convince me.

You cannot hold a fucking helicopter down with your hands. They can carry thousands of pounds ON TOP of a full load - for safety reasons. Unless this woman can lift semi trucks with her arms, this wouldn't be possible.

And if she CAN lift semi-trucks with her arms, we come full circle to super-powered anime character.

The second Ghost in the Shell movie may have been too fucking pretentious for its own good, but it did have some good parts...

Writing Motoko off as "super because" is inherently dumb.

Absolutly, I only watch realistic anime characters like... uh...

Let me continue, she's a top of the line combat cyborg. She is ment for this level of badassery.
Besides, people don't bitch this much when a REAL person does it in a film.

Well, I didn't say it was 100% realistic. You're right about the holding-down-a-helicopter being BS - even though she weighs several hundred pounds, has leverage on her side, and is pretty damn strong, this is definitely an issue of cinematic license taking precedence over realism.

Still, I'd recommend the show - it's damn well animated, it's "adult animation" in the sense of maturity and complexity instead of blood 'n tits (not that those don't appear too, on occasion), and if you're the type to enjoy complex procedural investigations mixed with high-tech sci-fi speculation and the occasional kick-ass action scene, it's a great choice.

If that's not your cup of tea, though, I won't try to push it on you.

Let's not forget the occasional omake baffonery that breaks the tension every five to eight episodes.

Eh, the show isn't really about physical strength at all. Complaining that she's overpowered is like complaining because she has purple hair.
