agreed! dennou coil has become the thing that ghost in the shell had failed to become with all of its numerous incarnations

oh well GIS plays more with politics and things on that scale.

Both are of cyberpunk, but the directions are different.

Did read original GITS? It was much more than politics and crimebusting. In fact, everything ended up as a background to Major's personal quest for quite metaphysical answers to quite existential questions.
DC manages not only to keep up with it's own high-tech world and have a nearly-perfect logical system for everything (in fact, it's not even much of a sci-fi: these glasses do exist already, - even if not in mass production and not integrated with cellular technology yet), but to bring about some new and interesting psychology layer (in which sense gits every failed miserably), And later anime incarnations of GitS lost original tech-savvyness - sometimes to the level of "computers in hollywood action films".

i think DC is far more novel than overabused gits and helps us to imagine the daily lives of people in information society of the near future in much more interesting fashion

Oh, I was mentioning the GIS anime, especially the SAC series. You have to notice that the manga, the movies, and the TV series distinguish from each other. Mamoru Oshii and Kenji Kamiyama (who is heavily influenced by the former when he was still an art director) 's personal styles are strong, that I think the anime adaptions goes much deeper than the short mangas. For example, people usually agree that although it managed to tell the original story, the 1995 GIS movie is almost entirely different than the manga. Same thing happend to Patlabor, which was also directed by Oshii.

Many things went on in the TV series. Indeed, it was much more than politics and crimebusting. Ultimately it went for GIS's main theme, the existential questions, but politics mentioned in the series was complicated and more viewed from a sociology aspect. This is the good part, which brings the story into the macro scale, and makes GISSAC (not including the Solid State Society, which I think is not as good) impressive.

I don't encourage the idea of comparing the two series, for they are indeed in different directions. For Denno Coil, things are more subjective, the world is almost Miyazaki like for there are almost kids only, although it's quite dark themed. I agree with you that it goes more into the pychchology, the personel feelings of individuals.

I judge it good because from a technical point of view, its graphic, use of camera, and storytelling skills are much, much better than the craps we see around these days. But not until DC ends can we give it a proper judgement.

wow. dynamic!
