More quotes on GitS SAC 2nd gig:
"It definately gets introspective at points, but no where near Oshii
levels.
The new series long foe is frighteningly competant [sic], and quite well
fleshed out compared to the laughing man. Rather than being a plot
device I'd say he's an honest to god character. "
"... but in one scene he outhacks Motoko!
Oshii wrote the SAC season 2 story, but he did it in SAC style, it
doesn't get bogged down by arty fartiness, and he's definetly writing
the tv version of the characters.
For example, in season 2, dog's don't like Bateau.
Season 2 is more ambitious than one, it has a greater range of stories
than just cop stuff, and I think it's the better season. "
" [Major] goes around fully clothed second season whenever she's on a
mission. She wears skimpy clothing during an undercover assignment,
and a night in a hotel room, but that's about it.
Major improvement. First season Motoko's costumes are silly. If the
other characters in the world were wairing similar stuff it'd be ok,
but they are not so its oddity."
