This trailers proves that 2K is *NOT* resurrecting X-COM, they're taking the body and sodomizing it with a pile driver. That trailer was more Flash Gordon than X-COM.
UFO Enemy Unknown was about fear and despair: your enemy was better armed, armored and was ultimately poised to overwhelm you numerically as well. On most missions it wasn't unusual to loose a guy or two even with decent equipment... and in the beginning you could have fewer survivors than dead.
The game was also jam-packed with with UFO and conspiracy theories of its age... this game has nothing that I could identify as such.
It's actually Bioshock rehashed as another game... not X-COM.

There are three "styles" out there:
-The original manga line
-Mamoru Oshii's movie renditions
-The Ghost in The Shell Stand Alone Complex anime series and a small budget movie. (Solid State Society)
I'd first read the original manga. Then I'd watch Mamoru Oshii's 1st movie first, it's a staple of high budget animation and is more accessible than his later work Innocence. Finally I'd watch the first episode of Stand Alone Complex.
...that way you'd be introduced to all the "styles":
-The manga is often (darkly) humorous, has some slapstick moments and touches all the motifs that the later works build upon.
-The movies are more contemplative, go into heavy philosophy and have spectacular visuals and directions. They're slow, contemplative affairs though, and unlike the Patlabor movies you don't have an investigation and the mystery of "whodunnit" to hold your attention, it either sucks you in or it bores you.
-The series is much lighter and heavier on action. Less is said, more is shown. It's still heavy with references. You get plenty of well choreographed action and even some shavings of humor on top.
The second series is heavier on politics and if you have an appreciation for a study of political process and political realities (...and morals of them) then it could be highly entertaining. If not than it won't entertain you as much as the first series which is much more about a conventional chase of "charismatic" (but "missing") culprit and a study of "his" motives.

I've recieved a couple of entries and I'm really greatfull for your contributions!
However I think I should specify some of the requirements:
The banner should say something about it's subject and may use the contestants artwork to do so. (Kinda like the montage for FAKKU itself).
Original artwork will be also considered, but keep in mind that this event is about the mangaka's themselves, not just general appreciation for hentai.
