#22It's interesting to me that most cyberpunk manga isn't Japanese cyberpunk.

It is an excellent comic. It’s a pity bowel disrupters aren’t real, they would certainly keep scrum from running over time.

#24It might be skirting the edges of what is considered cyberpunk since it has Mecha elements but Patlabor is a fantastic manga/series that should have been included in this list [1] [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Patlabor:_The_Movie
Patlabor is left out of most lists.
The new one (EZY) is amazing if you haven't seen it.

Personally I think I'm done with GitS at this point. How many times has it been rebooted, like a dozen times? The last one I enjoyed watching was Arise but I lost track after that. I think the series has been done to death and I would love to see some completely new IP from Masamune that is more reflective of the AI and economic upheavals we are experiencing in the 20s.
You're probably not going to get it. And he has decent reasons for not wanting to bother. The nature (infamy?) of his activities over the past few years should also be noted. (And maybe chuckled at if you have a bit of a dark sense of humor.)
For those who don't know, like me: he moved into adult manga, hentai-ish poster book work.
His popularity may have corrupted him...

#26Rich Veitch, he and Alan Moore. As Moore would later write:
"The One ... is a kind of landmark; a pulling together of obsessions and ingenious storytelling ideas into a coherent whole ... Its revisionist superheroics, while conceived at roughly the same time, predate Watchmen and Dark Knight in terms of publication, as does its packaging. Its political and humanist preoccupations were voiced before such sentiments became chic. Its deranged, culture-conscious humor offers an alternative and an antidote to today's rather gloomy trend of pessimistic, post-modern ultra-humans... Whatever it is that the comic books of the 1980s turn out to be remembered for, The One was right there in the thick of it, carving out a niche in the mainstream for dangerous ideas long before dangerous ideas became box-office certainties."Re: Cyberpunk Comics, Manga and Graphic Novels
#27I wasn't even aware there were Blade Runner comics, that's awesome.

It's not corruption. He has stated that there were projects going on behind the scenes, but most of them got scrapped before reaching production.
The most recent manga he involved with was Ghost Urn, which explores the world of GitS from a different protagonist. He did not do the drawing, but did most of the worldbuilding and mecha design.

#29Blame!'s manga style is the most unique and it created unforgettable atmosphere not replicated from what I know.

#30I gotta resume GANTZ
GANTZ more like scifi in a city setting
