Interceptor

Why are my DVD’s so much quieter than my Nintendo Switch 2?

Hello all you happy people! More Major shenanigans today.

And as always guys, if you want to support me you can subscribe to the website, Patreon, or buy me a hot chocolate.

I don’t think you can ever get tired of this intro. Or if you can, you’re one of those soulless losers who writes AI prompts and pretends it’s art. Godzilla, I can’t wait until AI replaces you jokers.

A soggy cop. Never a good sign.

Oooh, early ’00s shaky cam. It never bugged me as much as it did some people, but it does date a piece of media, that’s for sure.

Two cops working late is definitely a bad sign. Especially when they don’t know why the other is there.

Hah! Snail mail in 2030. That’s looking increasingly unlikely.

Ah. The plot thickens.

I’m not sure how realistic hacking people’s brains is, but hacking a person’s body parts would be a realistic problem with computer enabled cyborgs.

Aramaki is looking particularly off model today.

The weight training thing would probably be like phantom pains today, something your brain does (or feels) out of habit.

Cars don’t burn like that, typically.

Cops investigating cops. Always ends bad for everybody.

Yamaguchi must have gotten married after he and Togusa stopped working together. Cops are pretty tight nit bunch (not always to their benefit, either); they usually know each other’s wives and girlfriends. Or husbands and boyfriends.

Yeah, photo editing doesn’t work like that at all.

It’s actually pretty obvious: there’s no camera in any of the pictures. Not even a reflection. Which means the pictures had to have come from the cops own eyes. Even taking a selfie with your phone, the phone should show up in reflections in your eyes or something.

Technically this is more of an interview than an interrogation.

If the interceptors are relatively new technology, that might explain why Togusa didn’t catch on to what was wrong at first.

Yeah, lets not give management any ideas on how to spy on their employees.

Given the current controversy over Flock cameras, I’m more surprised the Japanese cops didn’t try something like the Interceptors before. Granted they’re less violent than they’re American counterparts, but I don’t think they’re any less corrupt. Certainly not in this series!

Honestly, the part about Nibu cracking under the strain of a seemingly impossible case is probably true. Policing is stressful job, especially when your superiors are corrupt as hell. It’s just a shame his corrupt as hell superiors are using him as a patsy.

A deeply unsatisfying answer, but the only realistic one he could give. A corrupt cop isn’t going to admit he’s corrupt on live TV! Not without some serious coercion going on.

Ooooh. That one hit home.

Yeah, that kind of brain hacking probably isn’t possible in real life.

Yeah, that’s the Laughing Man. Probably only second to the Puppet Master as far as famous GiTS villains go.

Now what are our favourite mad tanks up to?

I don’t the world is ready for communist smart tanks.

Run rabbit junk indeed.
