The Edit List Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 01
by Kyle Pope, Nov 10th 2004
The Net is vast and deep...
No surprise this was coming. Bandai practically announced it before the first storyboards were laid out. The name "Ghost in the Shell" is a big one in the anime community. So it's finally here. From what I've seen of the series it's considerably toned down from the movie in terms of nudity and violence but there are some scenes that may be over the line even for Adult Swim. That will all depend on how loose the standards have gotten since the block made its debut. Anyway with the DVD's available I'll be tracking whatever edits are made. And for the benefit of those without the proper upgrades they will not be digitally encoded.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Ep 01: Section 9
1) Bateau's "shit" muted out with a grunt as he chases down the geisha robot controller.
2) ED sequence speeded up and shortened.
I must commend AS for leaving the OP intact. It's a beautiful piece of work and deserves to be seen. I wish they had done as much for Fullmetal Alchemist.

This week: is it legal to start a YouTube channel where you talk over whole anime episodes? (Spoiler: no.) Also, why do there seem to be two schools of thought when it comes to selling to TV networks? And does importing Japanese media make a big difference? 2013-09-27

The Wonderful 101
The Wonderful 101 is the best we've seen out of the action genre since Bayonetta, and a hell of an argument for the WiiU all by itself.

Most folks enjoy flashy battles and feel-good endings, and the unexpected wrinkles in the story—secret bad-guy motives, magical traps, personal flashbacks—keep the action from getting too stale.

Eventually killing fifteen hundred or two thousand enemies per level stops being novel and starts feeling mundane, and it's hard to imagine anyone using that word to describe One Piece.

Sentimental filmmaking in the very best sense: moving and deeply nostalgic yet winningly underplayed.

Green Green DVD 1Despite hints of a plot and some potentially interesting oddities, this volume has little redeeming value beyond its fan service. It's far less funny than it tries to be and suffers from poor writing and an exceptionally bad English dub.
