With apologies to Masamune Shirow
Added 2019-02-04 04:40:27 +0000 UTCSo I played a bunch of the Anthem demo this weekend and I gotta admit it ticks a lot of boxes for me. But what I really want is just someone to make Masamune Shirow's designs into a reality. It helped that there was a whole sexual aspect to his robot suits and I guess that might not be everyone's thing. It is mine though.
Sometimes I look at Masamune Shirow's career and kinda imagine myself falling into that. The guy just made some really intelligent and weird science fiction that gained world wide attention, and occasionally filled it with cute girls and sexy women. Only to find in his later career, swapping it all out for just drawing adult pinups and comics. Seems like a good deal to me.

Love this! I've never been a huge fan of Shirow the erotic artist (though the mecha pin-ups in Intron Depot 1 are awesome), but man do I miss Shirow the mangaka. I think Appleseed was the first manga I ever read, and I absolutely fell in love with the combination of complex world-building and futuristic action. And then he followed that with Ghost in the Shell? ๐ฎ Such great work, so influential, and a terrible shame that he lost interest in creating stories โ one of a kind. (Special shout out to the late Toren Smith and Studio Proteus for their amazing translations.)
