I totally do not have (yes, they're fan-subs) the whole SAC 2nd GIG. I have all of the first set (more fan-subs, nice to read along with the theme songs) and 99% of the 2nd GIG. I am stricken dumb that I haven't seen the final ep. yet. ARGH!
I'm in love with Shirow's mind: the depth he gives his (our) world in the metapsychology that really doesn't need it. This overthinking, overcomplexifying fantasy of our future is like brain-candy to me. And, his women are drawn to die for.
He even throws in a tentacle or two sometimes. Yay! He's an artist aware of the need for fanservice, AND the need to tickle the psyche of all adolescent boys everywhere.
Honestly, I'm pretty sure this is going to end up a series more for the "cowgirls" and gents out there: people who like "The Three Stooges" for what they are, instead of merely labelling them "useless and stupid" without understanding that's what makes them great. Shirow re-created that same feeling, "useless and stupid" but covered it in such awesome art and technical detail that it's an epiphany for me all over again.
Really, who needs more metapsychology in the future of how bad humans can be? All we ever needed was in "Blade Runner". But Shirow puts such a nice package on it, it has its own place in my heart.
