    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.

    The new show is great so far, though!
