anyone familiar with the anime "real drive"?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Real_Drive

i have been watching this, and lets just say you take gits:sac, bump the tech a bit (skin link style data transfer between people for instance) and park it all out on a artifical island in the south pacific.

thing is that the tone (if follows a girl, 15) is very off from how appleseed and gits is. and i get a sense that its almost aimed at being a followup to gits, where the events happening in gits is now 2-3 generations behind (kinda like how ww2 is now). but it never comes out so say so, only that the latter episodes talks about tech and events that seems very familiar to anyone that know gits.

another interesting factor is that the girl is not equiped with a cyberbrain, while just about anyone else around her have near ubiqitous access to the net. instead she carries around a kind of phone (basically a small rectangular device with a touch screen interface), and has to wear a really oversized helmet at school.

so when others share data with a thought or a touch (watching someone walk over and hold a hand up, like a police officer telling someone to stop, as a act of initiating data transfer is interesting) she has to get them to touch the phone/terminal.

all in all, its about as thought provoking as dennou coil was about AR, and how it could seamlessly overlay reality.
