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.

    The new show is great so far, though!
