I'm a Shirow fan!! Me, me, me!!! Or should I say "fangirl". Been one since the mid 80's.
So he's writing something other than his 'GITS' now? I would have never thought that he had other stuff up his sleeve other than his "utopian" worlds are based on. Sci-fi x Spiritual. This could hurt folks. This a really cerebral thing. I'll take a spin.
Hopefully, the director will be able to handle what's scripted. Some people are still talking about that 'GITS' movie. But the 'Appleseed' movie did well. I liked it despite it's differences. But hell, 'Shirow' did play a part in it's production. So I wonder if he'll have a little involvement with this show. Hell, last time he directed anything was back in the late 80's and that was 'Black Magic M-66'.
Oh and yes, I have seen 'Colorful'. Now that's a interesting piece of work.
