GITS SAC 2nd GIG 19
Feb. 14th, 2005 11:59 pmI'd like to state (again) for the record that the opening sequence for GITS SAC 2nd GIG is one of the best I've ever seen. I love that thing.
Observations:
1. Atsuko Tanaka is an excellent seiyuu. I've always thought she was well-suited to the role of Motoko; still, I generally enjoy her (and the rest of the Japanese cast) without really thinking about her performance. But there was this extra little touch in this episode that jumped out at me. If you've seen GITS SAC, you've probably noticed that the voices are frequently disembodied. In this episode, Motoko experiences something disturbing; afterwards, there is the faintest note of upset in her voice. It's nothing dramatic, but notable in a woman possessed of steely resolve and the utmost self-control. It's a nice touch.
2. There was a lot of excellent music in this episode I don't remember hearing anywhere before. I wonder if there's another OST anywhere in sight.
3. Oh noes, ( spoiler for something fairly minor. )
4. ( Spoilery speculation. )
5. I hated to give up my awesome "I'm not dead, bitches" icon, but it was worth it for a put-upon Togusa icon. I love that guy.
