While the artist is just genuinely crap here, the sexy look is actually on brand for the series. Masamune Shiro, the illustrator and writer of the original Ghost in The Shell Manga, was also a pin-up artist and had his own (rather fucked up) hentai mangas. Actual GitS comic issues had pin-up art.
Batou:
:3
Also love that she has this ‘Big AsF’ gun and he’s like ‘oh hello, just a pistol for me thanks!’ lmao
Not a man who needs compensation
It too me wayyyy too long to understand what direction her body was facing.
I am 2 minutes in and still don’t understand what kind of position the right leg is in.
Also, is that big red thing, some kind of corpse of a weird enemy monster thingy?It looks like a reject AI gen, impressive.
Well, it was the 90s, so Rob Liefeld probably consulted. Which would explain the weird body positions and lack of feet.
Artists are allowed their creative liberties ya philistines… Is what I would say if I knew where her right leg went but it is genuinely confusing for no reason
Looks like it goes behind the closest segment of what I’m half assuming is a red tachikoma
tachikoma
Never knew there was a Ghost in Shell game.
I wonder if you can play it on PC with an emulator using M+KB?
It’ll be tough. If I recall correctly, it didn’t use the analog controls. You used L1 and R1 to turn, and vertical aiming was done doom style (i.e. the game did it for you).
This is a game that needs a modern remake, and we will never get one. This game is why the fuchikomas disappeared and we see tachikomas now. Legal bullshit.

what what? guess I’m just a casual because I never knew this. what’s the difference, and was it like, production company changes or what?
I don’t remember the specifics, but the production circumstances of this game are why the mechas changed, and I think someone still owns some of the IP associated with this game. And they’re just… sitting on it.
But they changed from the spider bots (fuchikoma) to octopus bots (tachikoma) as a result of the legal drama. Real talk, not much difference aside from what they call them, and the color. And in stand alone complex the octopus bots had a sticky web they shoot. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Wishing she sat on my face like that
Bonk
Even the Fuchikoma has a huge ass.
Batou looks like a raging creep.
I mean, if you lost your dingle in the war you’d be creepy too.
That is so ridiculously sexist. But in 97, I was a kid… and I remember very well any feliminine figure being sexualized, on magazine covers and such. Tomb Raider, Heavy Metal…
What is sexist it’s an android
Give one good reason why an android is wearing a thong.
Because she wants to
Higher range of motion
But… That’s not sexist?
Seems like if you come at this from the perspective that the artists are only treating straight men as their target demo, that’s what makes it “sexist” imo.
Hypersexualised depictions can be great fun, but if you’re only doing it for one type of person, across almost an entire industry (which was the case back then) that’s pretty arguably sexist.
By this logic, straight porn, and any advertisement for it, is sexist. Not everything needs to be for everybody, and regardless of that a drawing of an attractive woman on a cover shouldn’t detract the experience for anybody anymore than an attractive man or any other potential gender you’d like to portray.
Slippery slope, and not what I was driving at. Refer back to when I said the fact that an entire industry doing it is the sexist bit. If all porn was for straight men, that would be sexist. Individual works aren’t what I’m talking about.
I get that, but the point I’m trying to make is that it shouldn’t matter, I don’t get upset whenever I see a hunky man on a poster. I understand that a large part of the industry at that specific time where males were a vast majority of the gaming market were producing a lot of advertisement targeted towards their main audience, I just think that it’s a severe overreaction to call that sexist, and I especially think it’s an overstatement to suggest the “entire industry” was doing that unless you have specific statistics to back that up. If a women(or whoever) can’t enjoy the female(or whatever) figure, then that’s their personal problem, and would be tantamount to me complaining that the makeup industry is sexist because they don’t advertise towards men as often as towards women.
Deny this is sexy, you can’t
Who could deny the raw animal sex of a mass murderer with lats like grapefruit
