Y'know, as much as we like to lightly rib on Sand Whale and Me, I'd probably buy it in a heartbeat if it was a real game, but this is assuming we get some epic SotC-style confrontation with the sand whales at the end. (If not, I will readily eat crow.)
Still, the mindfuckery in this short is quite real. I mean, we just had the can-opening equivalent of the infamous Boulder Punch scene (with some added GitS flavor).

"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStar@Rojixus: I honestly don't know. I never saw the uncensored version, but I can't remember if it was in the original.
That scene with the sizzling meat is honestly gross.
The girl ripping parts of her armor off while trying to get into this thing borders on self-pleasuring references to Oshii's own Ghost in the Shell movie, and it makes me irrationally mad.
And once again, the same ending.
Is the point of this thing to show how silly video games can look?
Do not obey in advance.I... think that episode of Sand Whale & Me made me lose brain cells. x_x
Come on! Let's bless them all until we get fershnickered!@ Beary: I want to say that the neck scene was in the original Funi cut for Toonami, but this is based on the VHS tapes I owned back in the day, so I don't know if anything was changed.
As for Sand Whale and Me, this is Oshii we're talking about, so who knows?
SEESAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA~!!!
"Just wants a friend but had to give up his ding dong for it, tragic." - AngelLightStarSome surprisingly earnest and compassionate behavior from Joseph, this is. It's nice.

I get motherhood changes you but it still doesn't make it any less disappointing that she retires from martial arts like Gohan did.
