I have only seen the making of GITS Innocence on the WOWOW channel a few months back. It had a lot of hooplah back then because the GITS anime is such a big thing in Japan. If I'm not mistaken, I believe it's the prequel of the GITS movie and series.

The GITS anime used to be popular in Japan? Didn't know that. Thanks for the info, Maggie.
I'm unable to properly discuss the Innocence movie because there are plenty of parts I didn't understand. Thought the film picks up after the conclusion of 2nd Gig, which I haven't seen.
I watched the first movie of the Ghost In The Shell back in high school. My eyes were like O.o because I never really understood the whole story. My brother on the other hand kept on blabbering about it excitedly. Never really understood it until now but it still one of the best animes I have watched.
The GITS figurines are pretty big in Japan.

Even though the Major was in cyberspace, she was still able to help Batou during the last half hour of Innocence. Hope I spelled their names correctly.
Tsaka si Batou na ang alam kong bida sa Innocence noon...
Believe it or not, pinapanood sa amin ang 1st movie ng GITS sa Philo class namin. Kasabay ng The Matrix, siyempre, kasi walang mahilig sa anime sa klase ko. Those lowlife scum.
Nice for this forum to have this thread. Ghost in the Shell? That series is pretty big in Japan. I'm gonna grab a copy of it when my December money comes.
Saka, is anybody familiar with Deathnote? It's a manga-turned-anime (like any usual anime series) pero hindi pa tapos. BUT! May 2 Live action films na based on the manga and I am awaiting it's release here in the country (for I still can't find any DVD-copy of it in the streets ). I heard it's very good and based on the trailers I've seen, it really is.

I didn't know Deathnote is already an anime. I was able to read the first two volumes of the manga. It's really cool at complex ang storyline nya for me. Still, it shows what humans could really do when they have the power over people's lives.

@Magdalen: The series is finished and it's quite a good read after the first 3 volumes. I found myself reading for 5 hours straight (from midnight to 5 in the morning ).
@twistedkai: Manga or the anime? I don't think the anime version is yet to be finished. If you have the anime, I suggest you try the manga first.
I don't find the strength to watch anime anymore. I like to read mangas better. Eventhough it is more time consuming.
Sinong nanonood ng Sorceror Orphen (Sorcerous Stabber Orphen)? Pinalabas siya sa QTV, tapos sa Hero, at pagkatapos 'yung sequel n'ya (Sorcerous Stabber Orphen Rvenge / Sorceror Orphen Revenge) naman ang nasa QTV.
Megara wrote: mas gusto ung orig na ophen. nga pala,tinagalog din ung samurai x ng QTV. mas maganda ung english dub.
I agree. There are just some cartoons that are definitely not to be dubbed in Tagalog. Hehe, I'm watching season 2 of the Slayers, its in English and I liked it more than the QTV version.

@Mello: Knock Out is one of the few animes dubbed in Filipino that has passed my standards. maybe it's because I saw it the dubbed version first.
There is a lot of anime murdered by Filipino dubbers. Rurouni Kenshin, Gundam Wing and Gensoumaden Saiyuki. I just hope GMA 7 won't murder Bleach. I heard they'll be showing it in January and Yasmien Kurdi is one of the dubbers.

Yasmien Kurdi? No disrespect to her, but I just don't like her voice. Let alone dub Bleach. Then again, I am not a big Bleach fan. It's too cheesy..but the action is good.
GMA never had the best dubbers in the first place. ABS-CBN doesn't really fare as well, but way better than GMA. (Compare Magic Knight Rayearth and Slayers.)
oo nga. mas tolerable ang dubbed anime ng abs kaysa sa gma.
yasmien kurdi (no offense meant to her fans) dubbing is not what i call entertainment. parang nung nag-dub si angel locsin sa initial d. gahd! horrendous is not the word!!!
yey! it's my 300th post! 200 to go...
