Once you change a thing so much from what it initially was, can it really still be called the same thing?

Name and race changes kinda seem like a deliberate reaction to GitS. More worried about making the plot serviceable in a likely 90m flick. Worst thing they could do is cut out the shinigami and just make it some magic book he finds.

I'm more mad that he looks way too old. The other young people barely pass for looking highschool age as is. Fuck it they too old too. Which I assume they are going to retain from the story. Asian Watari looks bad ass though
