@IKnole93@sander9784 IT'S HIS FUCKING PROPERTY. HIS STORY. HIS CREATION. HE'S THE ONE WHO CHOSE TO CENSOR IT BECAUSE HE WANTED TO. NOBODY FORCED HIS HAND! My goodness you're such a tourist.
@ConradoJavier4@garsun1 Mamoru Oshii did that. He's the one who injected all the philosophy that the original story only lightly delved into with the Puppet Master's struggle for existence.
@sander9784 No, but its not a secret that he's gone back and censored his own works. GITS 2.0 Man-Machine Interface had scenes removed for being "unnecessary" to the plot before the manga was released state-side. Toning down the orgy scene is not out of character for him.
@sander9784 Huh, and I only saw that just today... Well, I know I saw an article a while back that Shirow Masamune gave his approval for handling the project with respect. Of course, Google and ChatGPT are both useless for finding that mention. I wouldn't be saying it if I hadn't seen it.
@NairavX I mean, a LOT of holo Lore started because of the member's interactions with video games. Holocure in particular has numerous individual references, like Miko's lava bucket from Minecraft. Even the Nendoroid got in on that.
@sander9784 It's no secret that Shirow went back and censored his own works. My own 2003 2nd Edition Dark Horse version of GITS had the orgy uncensored, but GITS 2.0 was already censored before it saw a U.S. release. The anime respected his wishes.

@EdBrown319865@90sPiictures He gave Science Saru his approval for handling the project with love and care... and apparently asked them to clothe up the girls in the lesbian orgy scene because he's steadily shown a desire to censor the series himself over the years anyway.
@mythiquetyger The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall uses procedural generation to create a world that is 16,000 km2 large.
It's not the same experience as Mira's hand-created world though.
@Mr_J_1991@VenandrVT There really arn't any more sex scenes that happen in the rest of the series. When the anime gets to GITS 2.0 story, the naked ladies were all changed to swimsuits by Shirow himself when Darkhorse Comics released their edition in 2003. Now the rest of the anime can happen.
@lesbiancima I genuinely want to shake the hand of the lead artist of this show. *EVERYONE* looks so damn attractive with all the right neurons activating. Even Slade.
@Mr_J_1991@madeinouterhvn it's literally only once scene. You'll live. Even I wasn't expecting there to be nudity and I've been super hyped for this anime ever since the original teaser trailer showed the manga designs and comedy. I'm not crying about it.
