With English and Latin

she passed away in 2015 😔

They (Origa and whomever else was involved) created their own language as well, they were awesome people.

Someone else sang the opera-latin part right?

@@epiphoney no, she sang it all herself

I do

At 13 seconds, every single time.

i fucking die at 0:13

kralle98 euphoric at 0:47

The bearts from chous gets me. When I first heard this song the only feeling I can describe was "eargasm"! Chills were the feeling right after...

Alexandro Rosales Lol same here

Alexandro Rosales it was a mission lmao

I thought I was the only one who did that, I love this song, it would so be worth it.

@@cecejamesable Everybody lol. The opening really drew me in. I didn't understand anything going on in the anime back then but I ALWAYS watched this opening no matter what.

I was smart i went to sleep at 6 and woke up at 11

Agreed! But Never Forget Samurai Champloo

Most of us can thank Toonami and [adultswim] for a great starter education in anime. DBZ, outlaw Star, bebop, big O, sailor moon, Lupin, detective Conan (aka case closed), etc.

Exactly staying up late to watch these shows on a Saturday night was the best cant forget bleach FLCL or full metal alchemist. It was the best.. not a care in the world but having fun..

@@KingCalamity030 I was gonna mention that too. Amazing era for me.

can't believe nobody in this thread mentioned Trigun yet...

Rip in Peperonis

Rip in peace beautiful Queen. She had the voice of a goddess.

Lung Cancer as far as I concern

Daaamn, that's too bad, I love so much how she sang in Russian. :-(

@@user-gm8bu9wz5n Google also states Heart Failure

excellently said. I too as well did that exact same thing, also true for Inuyasha and Yu yu hakusho

Same here. :D

+Philip M Was it on bionix YTV were u live

My memories are exactly the same as yours. Although, i must of been between 9 -10, possibly older. Nothing compares to '90's and early '00's anime. Good memories, reminds me of a simpler time.

I remember doing the same thing. However this was back in 2007-2008. I remember staying up late at night and watching adult swim waiting for ghost in the shell to come on. I had no idea what it was about but the animation and cool stunts made it worthwhile.

I remember watching this when I was young too and inuyasha

djswag3030 you deserve a w for mentioning inuyasha bro 😭

thanks 😂😀

Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex - Returns *Saturday, February 4, 2017 at **3:00** a.m. EST / **2:00** a.m. CST.* Only Toonami. On Adult Swim.

I love watching...and the song

@Nate DeVon Sanford Well the rest is in English and Russian... So unless OP speaks Russian...

Came here just for this comment.

@Nate DeVon Sanford Angels and demons were circling above me Swishing through the thorns and Milky Ways. Only the one doesn't know happiness, Who couldn't understand its call… Watch in awe, watch in awe Heavenly glory, heavenly glory Watch in awe, watch in awe Heavenly glory, heavenly glory I am calling, calling now Spirits rise and falling To stay myself longer… Calling, calling, in the depth of longing To stay myself longer… Watch in awe, watch in awe Heavenly glory, heavenly glory

I thought it was morte du vortes haha

That's probably fitting.

I got into this amazing anime thanks to call of duty mobile, I can't wait for the new anime comign in 2026

Definitely not a light watch.

what is this nonsense about how not many know about it , like Suddenly Millions of people is not many ,,, Bro put the little rocks of crack down and stop smoking them

I'm watching Second Gig now and good lord, I'm gonna need a rewatch or three to actually understand all the philosophy and themes, but damn is it cool!

@@wo1fsban312 I love the stand alone complex series ,It's pretty good

And gun play and combat in it section 9 is the coolest 😎 had me wanting to be a cop lmao 🤦‍♂️

Its an aesthetic 🤌🏻✨

I watched it. Freaked me out when I was a kid.

+RisingJake I used to watch this when my insomnia kept me up in high school, after the intro I could sleep.

what is the movie called

+yung_ riley It's just "Ghost in the Shell". I think it's the best movie I've ever seen. I'm not into anime otherwise, I've tried to watch it, but just can't get into it. Ghost in the Shell stuff is different though.

+David Medina (Rico) Because it's the future and humanity is trying to transcend the limitations of a human body, such as a finite lifespan, physical disabilities, and all death being final. The majority of humanity wishes to become cybernetic to be rid of this. One of the members of Section 9 is a rare example of someone who is completely human physically. No cyberization. Every organ is the original. The Major, the woman you saw here, is completely cyberized, and was as a child. The doll is from her childhood, when she tried to hold it and had the same issues real-life people with robot limbs have (yes, they exist). She tried to hold something in a closed hand without crushing it. Like most real-life people with robot arms, she couldn't control how much force the hand applied, and it crushed her doll. It's confirmed as the first time she ever cried about her robot arm. Because of the whole "robot" thing, humans who can afford to have cyberization and don't suffer the side-effects tend to have far longer lives, since machines may have a far shorter life span than humans (In real life, humans can live for a little longer than a century, and it's rare for this to happen. Our technology is lucky if it lives 5 years.) but machine parts can be hot-swapped (removed and replaced without deactivating the entire structure, in this case the human) with only the small penalty of relearning how to use the part. The spider-tanks are known as Tachikoma. This is their name and their model. They have the personality and voice of a small human child, yet despite their lack of streetsmarts (because they think like children), they tend to act with more wisdom. It's confirmed that, even though they can move themselves to other shells (the body for the tank), it's still a matter of being able to do that before dying, and the fear of death is more than real, because of humanity's belief that only humans have souls. Some members of Section 9 treat the Tachikoma (there are many of them, but Japanese uses context to determine plurality, so the plural form of Tachikoma is also Tachikoma) as if they were mentoring the Tachikoma as a student in an elementary school. Section 9 is reluctant to believe that Tachikoma do not also have souls. While humans strive for cyberization, Tachikoma tend to wish that they were human. Unlike humans, who can become cybernetic whenever they please, even if it is irreversible, Tachikoma can never become human. It will never happen. They composed their own nursery rhyme about what they would do if they were human. It's a cheery melody, but then you realize it's a group of robots who have a child's mind and are trapped as a robot that hardly anyone considers alive. They are in the same boat as humans with a physical disability that they COULDN'T adapt to. Think of it like this. Maybe you suffer from paralysis. Maybe you have a learning disability. Perhaps you're like me and physically cannot feel emotion despite knowing exactly what it is and what it does to someone. Just as I would see the potential for being able to feel joy even if it meant I would suffer at times too, The Tachikoma would gladly give up their ability to cheat final death by jumping, live as long as they pleased, and dual wield miniguns while skating on spider-legs, if it meant they could be human.

Modern anime can’t compare

Well keep in mind the opening will always be better animated than an entire series

Not gonna lie the new show is really well written

😆

eh nope this look op make major look like cheap sex doll -0-

Production IG will always outclass Netflix

It would awesome to have the intro as a real video game call it “Ghost in the shell Remnant”

Oh my gosh i was thinking the same! Like a soul calibur 2 character !

In russian her name is "Ольга Яковлева". We also memory her.

Thorogrimm ‍ those high notes are goosebump inducing

I agree.

The word 'awesome' isn't enough to describe this master piece.

the game on steam people play it like csgo

Agreed.

ik i like the clothes she wears lol

+Shassamoe It's so amazing, watched Ghost in the shell, ghost in the shell 2.0 and Innocence a couple of years back. 2 days ago i discovered stand alone complex 1 and 2nd gig... I can't believe i never watched them especially after the originals left me yearning for more back then. My life is complete

You sure the memories are real?

Me too, I didn't even watch the show back then but I remember listening to these opening credits before changing the channel.

laydon onton 😂😭😭

Man those days were dope

I haven’t watched the show but I remember seeing the theme song late in the night on Toonami all the time. The song itself and the visuals they chose for it is amazing, I come back to this song a lot.

Same 🤣🤣🤣🤣

Agree.

Я согласен. До недавнего времени я даже не знал, что это русский язык.

Um me

me OMG. me and my brother use to watch this all the time on adultswim

+Rcdevil1 I would not say so categorically but this anime is one of the best I have ever seen.

+Rcdevil1 me, since the plot is so deep, deeper than many real movies

+Rcdevil1 me i also have FMA original and brotherhood there too

+princeofalbany lol me too. I used to stay or sometimes just to watch the intro. I didn't even watch the show xD.

+Magic Me yeah it was hard for me to stay up so late but i forced myself just so i could catch the intro

+Magic Me Wow, I'm not alone in doing that then. I was 13 years old and I would set my alarm to wake up in time to watch the intro on Adult Swim and go back to sleep. lmao good times.

+princeofalbany Same. Though I did pay attention to an episode that talked about her nostalgia over something. I should watch the show sometime

just rewatched it, philosophically/intellectually really rewarding if you put the time in

How so?

XD that is me! But I sometimes watch it, it's a good anime

FUCK YEAH CAPS LOCK

Mayor Milford Meanswell FUCK YA BOII

Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex - Returns *Saturday, February 4, 2017 at **3:00** a.m. EST / **2:00** a.m. CST.* Only Toonami. On Adult Swim.

Deeper than nostalgia a repressed memory to be rediscovered even...

That was so me! But the anime is good!

I looked at some of it but never got into it that much I really wished that they had made the show look like how it looked during the opening maybe I probably would've got into it more than.

I grew up watching this on adult swim when I was younger. I just started to get back onto the series

You can now sleep sooner!!! Ghost In The Shell Stand Alone Complex - Returns *Saturday, February 4, 2017 at **3:00** a.m. EST / **2:00** a.m. CST.* Only Toonami. On Adult Swim.

Same, I only watched a few episodes when I was younger, but this was the part I really enjoyed about it. Have been getting back into it though, so I'll definitely be watching Stand Alone Complex.

Kap lol only came on tv on weekends

Same here.

same feels, homie.

how poetic

I *swear* lol. This intro was fire, but I just couldn't keep my eyes open past 1 lol

Same, 4 yrs old. (??) X"D (i was)

JustifiedMayhem32 ikr

Kmn483 Same here.

Kmn483 You’re a idiot

She truly did an awesome work on many of her songs. May she rest in peace indeed!

That wasn't Toonami. Toonami BARELY had anything rated higher than T between 1997 and its cancelation in 2008. Back then, it was a Saturday evening programming block, and it really couldn't get any more mature than that. Inuyasha was about the most mature anime Toonami had, but it didn't have it for long. Adult Swim's programming had a bunch of M-rated Anime among its lineup between 2000 and 2010. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Inuyasha, Blue Gender, FLCL, Full Metal Alchemist [the original anime], Bleach, Samurai Champloo, Eureka Seven. All played between reruns of Family Guy, Home Movies, Futurama, and Space Ghost. Wasn't until Adult Swim's own original programming started to grow in popularity that the anime became rarer on [AS]. Then Toonami was relaunched as a Saturday Night/Early Sunday Morning block

What was it about really? In a nutshell. I have watched it but did'nt really understand it. Why did the laughing man threathen that Guy with a gun?

@@lyberth4366 That's because The Laughing Man is not just a person,but also a mastermind,it can be everyone,everywhere at anytime it wants,almost no one saw its face and nobody knows who lt is,it's been missing for 5 years and now lt came back not just as a terrorist but also a savior,killing those who stands in its way,inspiring those to with its offers and propositions,manipulating those to join it and create a world with no wars,no politics,no laws and no restrictions,only peace,order and control,he's basically Light Yagami from Death Note but as a villain (which he already is)so yeah that's "The Laughing Man Arc”i know so far,pretty interesting if I say so myself.

this one, the closing of wolfs rain, the opening/closing of Bleach and the every closing of inuyasha are so nostalgic! I didn't understand this one, cowboy bebop or paranoia agent so i might go back and look at them since im much older.

@@1hinita bingo I’m doing the same revisiting things from my past that uplift and help me grow

So long as Shamalan isn't beind it, i'm willing to give it a chance

I'll be honest, I really don't have any interest in watching the new movie. They've explicitly stated that the main character won't even be Motoko Kusanagi. Not only is she being played by Scarlet Johansson, but she's only ever going to be called "The Major". So, for all intents and purposes, she's not Motoko.

Florence MacKenna The Major is rarly refered to as Mokoto in the first place

ChaosNightshde But that IS her name.

Florence MacKenna when did they state its not Mokoto Kusunagi? Also, why is Scarlett playing her a bad thing? Shes a good actress. They wouldn't hire her unless they wanted the movie to succeed because of how big her name is. Also, if its because she isn't Japanese, then please stop. Gigguk from the Anime Zone already brought this forward. So, please explain otherwise.

Same here man I do remember the old days of waking up and seeing all these anime shows that I never seen before I'm like y dont they show this on cartoon Network instead I was really young first time getting into anime I was so used to Pokemon and Yu-Gi-Oh

Such Good times ,happy that we could all relate to these moments in our childhood

Shit slaps, son

@@evolutionarydeadend6812 I mean I guess lol

you and me both

Loved the intro. The show confused and bored me as a kid. I didn't understand 10% of what was going on or why it was enjoyable.

+John NoNameGibbon you did say as a kid. in the end everything is personal taste

same

Same here.

On god

you are wrong sir....... Within the show, the word "Ghost" is used to refer to someone's consciousness while a "shell" is the cybernetic body, much like the situation with Major Kusanagi.

@Ron. H. ok. what is the meaning Ron? I would like to hear what you know.

@Ron. H. you mentioned that ghost in the shell translates to mobile armored riot police. That doesn't make a lot of sense. Im just a little confused what your trying to prove here. Mobile armored riot police is the Japanese title . The title ghost in the shell has nothing to do with mobile armored riot police. That just sounds silly.

Я вообще впервые Rise услышал в видосе про японских Могучих Рейнджеров и думаю « чё тут русский забыл?»
