I've seen this movie about 10 times now and I still cannot figure out every little detail going on. The other downside to it being a movie is that it does not allow any of the other characters to be developed, especially the rookies who we know next to nothing about. On the other hand, it is more GitS set in the SAC universe and that is just down right awesome enough for me.

Yeah. Funimation finished releasing the DVDs through episode 205 back in 2010 and they did not acquire the license for any more episodes until the end of 2011. They currently hold the license up to episode 328, which completes Seasons 4 and 5 (Water 7/Enies Lobby/CP9, depending which you prefer to call it), and the final DVD for S4 just came out this past week. I hope they acquire the rest so they don't end up taking another 2 year long break between episodes.

Oh god it's the Davy Back Fight arc. I've not even gone back to read this one. It just seems so, so bad...

Owait. Bellamy/Donquixiote scene. I'll keep watching a liiiittle longer.

The Davy Back Fight arc is dreadful. It is by far my least favorite arc in the manga series and the only arc that was a waste of my time. The anime is even worse because it drags the fights out and adds three additional rounds to it.

Funimation got rid of that STD the moment they acquired the license. They also redubbed the entire show, kept is accurate to the original script, and the characters actually sound the way they should (and in some cases, manage to out do the Jp voices).
