The 3rd instalment of the not uncontroversial Ghost in the Shell ARISE has been dated for the middle of 2014, even as fan dissatisfaction with the two instalments so far continues to fester.
Border:3 Ghost Tears will be theatrically released June 28th, with the usual BDs to follow.
A total of 4 instalments are planned, suggesting it will wrap up by the end of 2014.
Between the pre-release controversy, and both the November 30th release of border:2 Ghost Whispers and the recent TV premières of the first instalment which coincided with it, the fan reaction seems to have gone from bad to worse:
“Don’t bother following this.”
“How can it take them 6 months to finish a 1 hour production?”
“Right, I just saw border:1 on TV and the production values are no better than a weekly TV anime. Quite a mystery how they spend 6 months on something like that.”
“The production values of Arise are frankly worse than many late night anime.”
“They are still desperate to squeeze some more life out of this?”
“Like Berserk, One Piece, Five Star Stories and the rest…”
“They still intend to continue with this awful new series?”
“At least they seem to have stopped the pachinko.”
“GitS was totally fresh when it came out but it is really wearing thin now. The stories were never that good, it was the novel setting which made it.”
“Arise was such a disappointment.”
“I wouldn’t say it was bad but it certainly had its flaws. The production was OVA level I guess.”
“The production values were awful! They could have kept Motoko and continued the existing series at least. Was there any point to changing all the seiyuu?”
“Probably to cut costs…”
“They should never have given Ghost in the Shell to these new clowns.”
“It is not generating any buzz even. I guess this is the end for Ghost in the Shell.”
“It isn’t bad but has to compare to the TV series, so it had no chance.”
“The second one is a bit better than the first. Awful music though.”
“1 was OK with it being fresh and new, but the 2nd one was just bad. It’s like they have to use some template with Motoko, terrorists and the ‘koma being manipulated by some irregular AI behind the scenes. It’s old. Making the same stuff with new character designs and seiyuu was a bizarre decision. I finished with 2, I’ll not be buying any more.”
“Except the irregular AI has become a series regular.”
“This all reminds me of FF13…”
“Come on, it’s just a bad work. GitS is probably finished now.”
“It is sad how this series is just inferior in each an every way to its predecessors.”

Gees, complain, complain... I don't see anything wrong with the show. It's entertaining enough.
When a series has it's roots set in what's considered to be a masterpiece by many, it's no surprise people would be heavily critical on anything they follow up with... and so far, with SAC and GITS2 they'd been delivering strongly, until this.
I thought this was about Motoko, not Faye Valentine.
Ahh good memories. At least Faye had Megumi's charm.
That see-through dress and high-heels could fool anybody. Im sad that they changed this series so much and made mokoto look like a whore in this picture, but at least she looks hot i guess.
To be fair Shirow always made Motoko look like a futuristic sex toy. Even in the glorious SAC series she appears in a ridiculous outfit that screams fan service. badly.
Yes she gets better outfits later on my point is that Arise isn't doing anything Shirow himself wouldn't do with her clothes.
Well, to be fair, if I had the power to create artificial people I'd try to make them as attractive and appealing as possible, especially women. I doubt they'd ever make unattractive female robots/androids/cyborgs in the future, and maybe I've been too spoiled by other artists but a one piece with thong bottom is almost ordinary in comparison to what else he could have given her.
To be fair... Motoko is a part time prostitute in the comics.
That looks like a musical song. THE WHORES!
I'd say she's a high class hostess or escort.
It even compliments with her job at section 9...
Who gets everywhere? The whores.
On who are not kept any registers at all? The whores.
What is swept under the carpet? The whores!
Well, to be fair, if I had the power to create artificial people I'd try to make them as attractive and appealing as possible, especially women.

I just noticed that three people replying to you started with "to be fair" now, which is exactly why I wont change mine now because there's no point mentioning it if there's only two...
That face... I would reconsider the statement that she looks "hot" but whatever.
I read the text on the first pic as "ARSE".
drink
feck
Girls!
But that'd make more sense with SAC than this series, lol...
Is everyone commenting on this series a retard?
Clearly not, why?
because either the translations are bad or they're all just autistic
Just pick up after Solid State Society and make everyone happy.
“This all reminds me of FF13…”
Ouch. Those Japanese cut deep.
If they were going to recast everyone, why not FINALLY continue the story where GitS novel/movie ended? I could have swore she had a brand new loli body, after merging with that program. That would have at least explained the change in her VA.
“How can it take them 6 months to finish a 1 hour production?”
All because of plutonium coming from FUKU. You ALL are dead.
Is Part 2 out already? First one was simply amazing. I need more of this.
part one is better. i liked 1 also
"the not uncontroversial"
What?
So... the 'controversial' then... in better English.
and yes. I DONT GIVE A FLYING FUCK ABOUT RESETTING MY ISP EVERY DAY 20 FUCKING TIMES
this is worth zero.
the mindestsicherung is my doing.
if there is more money involved its your doing....
mindestsicherung here? my doing.
more money than that? your doing....
have i received more than mindestsicherung? no?
i do what i want without lsitening to orders, advices or whatever.
I LOVE ARISE! It's AWESOME! I love absolutely everything about it and hope they make a LOT more of it. I've watched all of the other GITS anime and It's just as good or better than the others. I LOVE Motoko in this version. She's not as cold or emotionless as her older self and her blue eyes are beautiful.
Im a foot man so i like that she's wearing those stripper shoes and dress.
It's not the Ghost in the Shell I grew up with.
You think we give a fuck? sheep
lol, are you sure you know the meaning of sheep?
I didn't even bother with the second one.
Man i thought this Show would be fucking bad but damn, its actualy pretty good.. but it seems they recasted all Roles, which is sad.
As a long time fan of GiTs manga and all the derivatives, I'm enjoying the new arise. Sankaku complex, stop posting only negative things about the show.
Everything else is fine, I just don't like how Motoko looks in this one...
Nice tits

Hi, my name is Gundam Unicorn and I'm awful.
Unicorn has fantastic animation, regardless of your opinion on the story and characters. It's an OVA and the animation quality is heads and shoulders above any tv series, by far.
Gundam a shit
The art could be as gorgeous as you'd like but it doesn't count for diddly when the story is garbage.
The point is that the production time is huge because the animation is fantastic. They're not writing the story now, it's already been written, they're just adapting it and modifying it in some places. Complaining that the story is garbage despite the long production time is nonsensical. The scripts for the OVA are finished long before the animation is done.
silly fanboy
Since we're on the Gundam subject, regardless how shitty the series is.
Hi my name is SEED Movie I was promised to be launch in 2006 and still no news
The hell are you talking about? There ARE 3 seed movies and all were released.
Well the story of Gundam Unicorn is way forced in my opinion. Typical gundam scenario i guess but the main switching sides like that is too unrealistic. But the animation and production values are off the charts man.
Compared to a great many other Gundam series, Unicorn is actually quite good.
Gundam Unicron?
