Alrighty. If I do, I won't be in theaters. xP [/quote]

You've probably heard about the visuals. 

[quote] I guess my question. Have you seen the anime series and/or movies and Do you like the movie because it's a proper adaptation? (or in spite of it?)

Yes. I've seen the original movie as recently as two months ago in a theater. My fucking avatar is from the TV series. I've seen the TV series.

I like the movie exactly for what it is. It's not meant to be an exact adaptation of GitS 1995. They made an origin story instead. There are liberties taken, but that doesn't mean it's not very good for what it is.

And just about the time I walked out of the theater I became sick and tired of parroted opinions by people who really don't know what they're talking about.
