Oh por Glob!!! Cuando ví la portada en Netflix ( que fue recientemente) dije: ese diseño se parece a Ilya... Estoy segura reconocería ese estilo en dónde fuera!!!

Sabía que no podía equivocarme, y Glob!! No me equivoqué, me alegro mucho, que estés creciendo tanto. Soy tu fan! Amo a tus chicas de cabello morado, me tienen enamorada!
Un saludo y muy buenas vibras. ❤️

The comments section on the youtube is a bloodbath for the design and animation.
So long as you do better then the horrid live action, the fans will grow to like it eventually.

Not going to lie, the first teaser had me very worry, when I saw it, the only part I loved was seen the Major in your style, but nothing else...until this trailer drops and blow my mind, I hardly cant wait now for this show.

Im right there with ya!
Theres a small vocal group of old Ghost in the Shell fans that hate every thing post Stand Alone Complex. 
After seeing the trailer, and community feedback being mostly positive, Ive pretty high hopes that this will be what puts the series back in the spotlight!

Ah but they are NOT fans of Ghost in the Shell. Fanaticism, by definition, means that you do not use your critical judgement. You see something that sucks, but since you know it's got the same brand name as something you love, you overlook all the flaws. That's what it means to be a fan. A true fanatic would eat literal shit if it came from someone he loves. 

Congratulations, fan. Eat the slop before the slaughter, FAN.

Also, step outside of Ilya's hugbox, you will see that the feedback is about 50% negative, EVEN COMING FROM THE JAPANESE, with hundreds of posts comparing the trailer to PS2 graphics. Ironically, the PS1 ghost in the shell games had gorgeous cutscenes compared to this.

What's your problem? 

I'm sorry if I offended you earlier. I really did like your artwork of Motoko you posted. 
But you've just been really nasty to many people here in the comments. 

It's alright if your upset or don't like things the way they are. 
You should have that opportunity to voice your concerns.
But please dont be rude to people and act like your opinion is better than every one else's.

I hope you are able to get over what ever your going through. 
Take care ^^

Sorry, I flew off the handle, I tend to do that when I see people use the term "fan" to describe critical people even though it literally means the opposite, I shouldn't have called you a fan without knowing for sure if you were one. 

I can see why you feel that I'm acting like my opinion is better than everyone else's, but that's probably because you thought that almost everyone reacted positively to this new series. In fact, it's very divisive, I've seen tons of people express the same opinion as me on other websites, so I have no reason to act like my opinion is better than theirs, since it's the same one.
Deviantart is the type of website where people rarely express negativity (even when they should), and I'm addressing many comments, so I can see why it seems like I'm setting myself up above everyone else. But that's not my intent, I'm only trying to go after people who are wrong, which is roughly 50% of people, a pretty modest figure all things considered.

Don't you worry, I'm in the process of getting over it, by getting into huge internet fights, it's very cathartic.

Why not get our rocks off from bashing what's bad, on top of enjoying what's good? It's win-win.

Helixel In reply to Senfgas [2020-01-31 13:18:32 +0000 UTC]

Mostly because people put a lot of love and work into these things. If it's not your bag, then just move on. There's not much good that can come out of just spreading hate over something creative. 

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Senfgas In reply to Helixel [2020-01-31 16:18:23 +0000 UTC]

Well firstly, Ilya is not one of those people, so he's fair game by your standards. He is productive, not creative, as in he cares about quantity more than about quality, these days.

Secondly, I strongly doubt that anybody involved in this project put "a lot of love" into it. Maybe a couple of animators put a lot of work into it, but more likely due to the insane Japanese work ethos rather than out of genuine care.
But as for love, nope. This reeks of cynicism and cutting corners for easy profit. Even if love and work were involved, they'd be clearly misplaced, so once again, they're fair game (by my standards this time)

Thirdly, consider the sheer amount of people who have fun badmouthing one another on a daily basis, consider the wealth of art and humor and literature dedicated to hate and derision, being read and enjoyed to this day. Spreading hate has always been one of the foremost sources of joy, culture and brotherhood throughout human history, even when it's hatred for something creative. For instance: I like Wagner but I love hating Wagner even more, it gave us a shitload of endlessly amusing parodies and pamphlets and satires and really mean-spirited analyses of his operas that are a blast to read and listen to. Consider all the tasty fucking memes we got from bashing Star Wars over the years, consider your favorite parodic songs, consider all the things we wouldn't enjoy if they weren't fueled by some level of hatred. Consider Charlie Chaplin's The Great Dictator.
Of course it's not always worth it, not by a long shot. But as I pointed out, in the present situation, nothing of value is being lost when we attack it. SAC 2045 and Ilya Kuvshinov's positive reputation are not worth so much that we should refrain from pissing all over them.

Wouldn't you agree?

I don't think you're being quite honest there, we both know that it's a matter of circumstance and that most people can easily afford to spend time being a dick on the internet.

Looking forward to it but seriously, DAMN, the criticisms are stupid. Pedo crowd? Really? Has anyone considered that the Major is more petite in this incarnation?

Senfgas In reply to AeonAGV [2020-01-28 16:47:36 +0000 UTC]

I love how you're trying to dismiss a criticism by bringing up the very same problem that caused this criticism.

>Racism? really? Has anyone considered that maybe the KKK just really hate black people?

AeonAGV In reply to Senfgas [2020-01-29 11:47:56 +0000 UTC]

False equivalence since petite doesn't mean pedophilic on its own. You seeing the Major that way is YOUR problem. I don't know why I am even replying to your asinine dreck of a comment, you clearly have your mind set that if anyone likes the Major's design, as illustrated by Ilya, they're a pedo, when she is nothing, nothing, like the type of character design that you hate. She is clearly an adult, even if she is smaller in stature and build than Batou for example. If they chose say, the character designer from Strike Witches, or some other moeblob cute girls doing cute things aesthetic artist, you may have had a point. Don't bother replying, I'm not gonna change your mind, you're sure as hell not changing mine, except in my opinion of you, to which I say you're a massive fucking moron.

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

Senfgas In reply to AeonAGV [2020-01-29 16:39:11 +0000 UTC]

No I'd say that's a pretty good equivalence.
Here's a few facts:
One could TECHNICALLY hate black people without thinking they're inferior, as racism is not just hatred, it's a belief that some races are inferior to others.
Similarly, Ilya could TECHNICALLY not be trying to appeal to the pedo crowd. Even though his boom of popularity on the internet can be directly correlated to that time he drew Mathilda from Leon the Professional. A character whose basic appeal is that she's a sexually promiscuous teenager. And he emphasized her neotenic features even more. And every girl he's drawn since has looked very similar, making him insanely popular among 20-somethings who revived the Kinderwhore look a few years ago.

So indeed, he may not be trying to appeal to the pedo crowd with this design that looks clearly like a 15 year old. Even though that's a big fucking market in Japan and he's supposed to create something that appeals to both east and west.

He may not realize that his fanbase likes his girls because they look like children. He may not realize that his girls have been literally called moeblobs by his detractors for years and years.

Hell, he may not realize that THIS IS A MOEBLOB.

And the KKK may just be pretending to believe that blacks are inferior, even though they merely hate them a lot.

Kinda disappointed how they keep chipping away from her design. She looks too young and the design isn't anything new or a step up from your previous works, it's an adaption that doesn't bring anything to the table but another teen looking anime character. One from a million others. But enjoy your goldmine of copy paste prettyfaced girls till it lasts.
