Ghost In The Shell: Standalone Complex

This has been quite an exposure for me in terms of anime genre, since it's not really the kind of anime i'd watch... haha but it's not bad. It's the first show that ever made me feel like puking >< hahaha even CSI didn't affect me that badly and i thought i was inhuman (out of this world pls Xp) or indifferent or something... haha i guess it's good to know that i am not as emotionless as i thought i would be...

I guess it's just different concepts that get to people. In this case -- or as much as i know from watching to episode 10 now... there are 26 eps in season 1, it was the psychological warfare concept that seriously got under my skin. so much for mooncake session later... To describe it in brief, it's a guerrilla warfare tactic to make the locals lose their will to fight. Firstly, the military moves in and makes friends with the locals. Next, they slaughter and torture the women and children to death in the most gruesome ways possible. I guess it's the thought of being able to turn on your friends or people you know personally, and kill them in such an inhumane and gory way that made the bile rise up in my throat and cause a total loss of appetite... something that's super hard to achieve, for me anyway. I know i shouldn't let this get to me because, it's ficticious , it's anime, it's unreal...

Probably have too much imagination for my own good :x but then again, i'm only human.



You thought i was gonna shoot him? I'll admit, the thought of expunging that stain on my honour out of some antiquated sense of justice did cross my mind. If the past is unchangeable, I'm gonna take it with me to the grave. I didn't because this isn't his jungle, this is our town. And because I'm a cop. -- Batou, episode 10
