Main Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex Discussion
Nuked this again:
:
- The Verse: Masamune's latest manga-to-anime adaptation, Real Drive, takes place in the same world as Stand Alone Complex, even though it has no direct relation to the Ghost in the Shell plotlines itself. The series features prominent reoccurring discussion about prosthetic bodies, operator androids, and the social benefits of cyberization, or in the main character's case, how not being cyberized prevents her from keeping up with her classmates in school. There's also reference to a technology developed through the advancement of the Radiation Scrubber technology A.K.A. The Japanese Miracle that Ghoda developed.
:
- Production I.G: Talking about taking over Shirow's world, I heard Fujisaku-san initially created a new "post-Ghost in the Shell" World.Fujisaku: Yes, we started with the idea, but a request from Director Kazuhiro Furuhashi changed that totally.
Shoot The Money:
I added this trope because 6 years ago when Stand Alone Complex's dub first aired, I read in Newtype magazine that the series had broke a record for having the highest production budget of all time.
Granted, It has been 6 years, and I don't quite remember the complete facts, I do specifically remember the part of them setting a new production budget for the series.
Now Westrim keeps deleting it without considering that it still applies to the series. He isn't editing it to account for errors. He's flat out deleting it.
- Shoot The Money: At the time the series was made, Stand Alone Complex set a world record for having the highest production budget for an animated feature or series of all time. None of those Disney Pixar movies even came close to the amount of money spent on computer graphics for this series. Then again, this is Production IG we're talking about. The quality really shows.
Because it's not partially incorrect or kind of incorrect, it's completely incorrect. Unfortunately I have scoured the interwebs and cannot find any direct references to the cost of the series; however, the cost of the theater released Solid State Society was $3.6 million (mentioned here
to be more than the series), and Innocence had significant difficulty securing financing when it cost $20 million. Steamboy was the most expensive anime ever at $26 million. Monsters Inc, released the year before, cost $115 million. With all respect, you are basing an extreme logical and financial unlikelihood on a 6 year old memory. The only possibility is that it's the most expensive series, but animated Star Trek cost $75,000 an episode in 1973 and Samurai 7 $300,000 in 2004. Scientifically speaking, I can't prove it's not the most expensive series unless someone actually finds stats on SAC itself, but the evidence makes it pretty unlikely.

Hrm, the two paragraphs that I added, under Eigen Plot and Everything Trying To Kill You, are they too long?
NIGHT CRUISE- "no relation to the overall plot"?
I wouldn't say that's true. Gino and his buddies are former soldiers-so effectively refugees-from the Fourth Worls War. Considering that 2nd Gig is focused around these refugees, could it not be said that the episode has quite a large relation to the overall plot since it shows various effects of the war, and reasons for frustration among refugees that influence later episodes?
So I've been poking around and I noted that the Crowning Moment of Awesome entries for Stand Alone Complex ended up getting merged with the main Ghost In the Shell C Mo A page (which IMO should really be for the movies).
I propose transferring the SAC C Mo As onto the proper page, and intend to do this... sometime next week. <.<
