60 of 87 · most liked firstSaw Ghost in the Shell in the theater, I've seen this movie MANY times, watched it on loop as a teen, but I haven't seen it in maybe 10-12 years. I'm happy to report It's EVEN MORE TRANS & GAY than I remembered, thank you GitS for blasting my teen brain with the queer medicine it desperately needed
positive · AI labelView post →Finally got to see Ghost in the Shell at a real movie theatre, still the best movie about an AI safety incident ever made Incredibly prescient film about the world we're currently living in, one of those bits of 80s/90s scifi that only gets more relevant with age letterboxd.com/josephpolita...
positive · AI labelView post →Scarlett Johansson as Motoko in Ghost in the Shell. That film is extremely racist.
negative · AI labelView post →Something I'm so pleased by is the characterization of the major in the movie. She isn't an anime girl at all. There is nothing cute or demure about the way she moves or speaks. This is a non binary dyke. It's called Ghost in the SHELL because we're watching her egg get CRACKED
positive · AI labelView post →In 1988 & 1989, before the iconic Ghost in the Shell, Masamune Shirow released a manga & film called Dominion Tank Police!, a concept that at the time seemed so outrageous that it could only appear in anime but is now a reality that many find the idea of defunding to be too radical.

Last weekend I went to a fun double feature screening of Appleseed (1988) and Black Magic M-66 (1987) here in Portland, and Dark Horse Comics had a booth set up where they were selling their new Appleseed Deluxe Edition hardcover a few weeks early, so I bought a copy. I've never read Appleseed before, and it was my first time seeing the OVA, which I understand might be pretty different from the manga. I actually liked the Black…

neutral · AI labelView post →When I was DEFINITELY too young, like maybe 10~12ish, a guy in a used video place sold me Ghost in the Shell (the first movie) and it changed my life, I then read the manga a little later, and it changed my life even more. Major Kusanagi was so formative she became gender goals. 🤣
positive · AI labelView post →Home from a matinee screening of Ghost in the Shell. Awesome to see that in the theater- basically a movie that is visually flexing every time there's lights/displays/water/machinery.

It has aged better than Akira (and been more sadly relevant). The animation obviously holds up, but so does the story. When I did my...

Tamaya also knows how to have some fun, though Sasaki himself could use a little more personality. * **The Elusive Samurai Season 2** - The original manga was already pretty weird, but season 2 of the anime has solidly placed it in "batshit insane" territory, all while telling a good and coherent story. Honestly this one might've ended up with…

positive · AI labelView post →The original Ghost in the Shell film is truly a timeless thought provoking masterpiece that only gets better as we age. And also serves as a stark warning of the AI future ahead of us today in 2026.
positive · AI labelView post →I'm watching The Ghost in the Shell 2026 and the show has been excellent. 1995 movie is my fave anime film. Really liked SaC series but everything after than was awful. This is great and a breath of fresh air and different take on what I'm used to. (Never read the manga)
positive · AI labelView post →It's what solidified my dislike of Scarlett Johansson, I was already iffy but now I can't disassociate her from that movie. AND THEN SHE DID GHOST IN THE SHELL
negative · AI labelView post →The Ghost in the Shell film was (a) a really good science fiction movie that I loved and (b) a terrible adaptation of the comic. Got the tone and the character of Motoko completely wrong, IMO.

neutral · AI labelView post →Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell. I now own more copies of it including Japanese editions, the 4K etc., than any other film - more than David Lynch's Mulholland Dr. which I have 3 copies of.
positive · AI labelView post →Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell is still an incredibly powerful film when you finally see it in a theater even if you've watched it 3 times in the last like 9 months
positive · AI labelView post →My number one is Major Motoko Kusanagi from Ghost in the Shell. It's been my favorite anime for a long time since watching SAC as a teenager and I want to be her. I also feel like a machine alienated from humanity while still wanting to be human on some level. That said, give me any good autistic or trans rep. Maomao from Apothecary Diaries has been a recent strong relate. She has a keen hyperfixation on her specific interests which include an interest in sexuality in an academic sense, which…

neutral · AI labelView post →Tfw when u realize the aesthetic you’ve been trying to pin down this entire time is literally just Ghost in the Shell, a very popular 30 year old movie and one of the most famous and iconographic sci-fi franchises of all time.
positive · AI labelView post →「Ghost in the Shell Live Action」 There’s a lot of things you can say is wrong with this film and be correct, but the most egregious sin it commits is making the Major job several times and not one instance is it ever justified. Also just worse versions of every iconic scene.
negative · AI labelView post →The Ghost in the Shell (2026) Honestly the plot itself didn't grip me much, but it was very fascinating to see how the 1995 movie was literally just the same ingredients mixed and cooked differently but still arriving at the same conclusion and themes. Now we have "fuller" adaptation on top of it.

Visually stunning, though the CGI looks very dated now, but the plot is really a bunch of nothing wrapped in philosophical waffle.

unlabelledView post →Finished up watching The Ghost In The Shell - the new one, that is. The newest one. There's so damn many of these haha But I think it's a very good adaptation. Pulls ideas from SAC and the original film and executes them well. Sits nicely between SAC and Arise as to how much I like it.

When I got a little older and wanted some more mature anime, Ghost in the Shell really captivated me, and Oshii’s 1995 film specifically is an all time favorite. (cont.)

Ghost in the Shell an incredible film im 100% gonna need to rewatch to fully appreciate since i seriously just kept getting lost in this film's presentation. perfect soundtrack, beautiful art, and that awesome, consistently tense atmosphere from start to end. def gotta watch more oshii stuff!

Anyway, I love Ghost in the Shell but it is weird seeing people buy sexy statues from the story about the relentless commodification of the female form within a dystopia.

But you are kinda on the right track, just approach anime like you would different art mediums with similar properties, anime is to western animation what bronze working is to stone working. Best suggestions I can give is like I said Hellsing and Black Lagoon but I'd also add Ghost in the Shell (1990s version), Netflix Castlevania, and fuck it I'll toss in Star Wars Visions since it is anime.
