In the commentary for the DVD release The Wachowskis other people in the filmmaking crew said outright that they were directly inspired by GITS . There should be no debate about it . The Matrix has things similar to the original GITS on purpose . I love The Matrix series The Animatrix collection and think it would be great to have more movies in the universe . I love all the iterations of GITS especially SAC 2 nd Gig and can ' t wait to see the live action movie . <| sep |> Fuck everything , steal all the IP , crack the biodome on the way out . <| sep |> The last one to score will win . <| sep |> I get you , but since we can ' t have eternal matches , we have to compromise . I think giving the champ draw odds is much more reasonable than playing rapid .
