But, we come to understand that in a place where information exchange has been optimized to maximum efficiency, the Major is much more than just wires and circuits. The design of the technology is remarkable, given that the film was made in the age of dial-up yet manages to show aircraft closely resembling the current Osprey aircraft. There is a classic view of Major Kusanagi, the protagonist, silhouetted against a panorama of an endless maze of futuristic buildings as viewed from one tiny box of an apartment. There are haunting scenes of lurching skyscrapers juxtaposed to the trashed and wasted Old Japan amidst a flood of tribal drum music. I came to the conclusion that Ghost in the Shell resembled Blade Runner, based on the initial imagery of the film combined with the topic of robots as commonplace in society.

Based off of a successful manga comic series (as many animes seem to be), the action focuses on a cyborg cop in the year 2029 and her elite, clandestine task force known as Section 9, who search for a master computer hacker called the Puppet Master.

So, I told myself I’d become engrossed in an anime-style movie with a serious, non-family-oriented premise.Īfter a small bout of research, I decided to watch 1995’s Ghost in the Shell. Even though there are plenty of cartoons and animated works in America with mature content and serious plots, most are still reserved for comedy, because most animation is written off as frivolous, childish entertainment. I mean, as a child, I loved Pokémon and other action-packed series that someone like my father might term as “Japanese scams.” But, I cannot stress enough the fact that this was when I was a child. I have never been predisposed to watching an anime film despite their international popularity and loyal fanbase, it is a subculture that I’d say the majority of Americans do not give a chance. Now, I can be sure right now that from that statement, I will have either dissuaded the reader from continuing any further or managed to keep their attention out of curiosity as to what I found in my investigation. I decided to try something slightly different.
