I don’t understand why they made the tone of the old anime so much different from the OG manga. It looked great, but the characters were so bland I couldn’t get into it. I’m going to try the new one once more episodes are out.
I think it was a mixture of Mamoru Oshii’s quiet existential style, with some of the tone that was very popular at that time, eg. Akira. As far as I know, Masamune Shirow appreciated the alternative interpretation. It’s similar with the Patlabor movies Mamoru directed vs the TV show.
It is! Two eps so far on Amazon or wherever. Second ep is a to be continued, the first is self-contained. Although this is from 7:30 of the second ep, if you’re curious!

The new show is great so far, though!
Oh, is it finally airing?
