Ghost in the Shell is a futuristic, police/noir thriller, set around the mid-21st Century, dealing with the reality of corporate power structures, and cyber terrorism, against a backdrop of technological advancement, and transhumanist cyberisation, in a Neo-Japanese state.

The narrative follows the covert operations division of the Japanese National Public Security Commission Section 9. This unit specializes in combating tech-based crimes, with a lean toward Spec Ops weapons and tactics, as well as an investigative focus on hacking, data mining, and more traditional methods of information sleuthing, and detective work.

Ghost in the Shell expands its scope beyond the narrative by exploring many rich Philosophical, Economic, Social, and Political themes. With a weighting on Existentialism and Humanism, Consumerism, economic class disparity, Industrial political corruption, and Politically radicalised splinter groups.

Would you merge with Project 2501?

I'd be interested in your reason.

This has to be one of my favourite episodes of SAC. And that final shot of Major was perfect.

The nudity makes this movie unwatchable

“Erm- she akshullay NEEDS to be nude to activate her PERFECT CAMOUFLAGE! (ignoring her thigh highs and belt around her leg which are still invisible) and- nudity is art! it makes this more mature, and artsy and you’re adverse to sex. I, with my high brow taste in cinema, didn’t even notice.” (only one body type drawn nude)

This is just garbage fan service. I’m not against nudity because I think nudity adds a lot when done well. This is so disrespectful to women, so genuinely bad and i’m disappointed since i’ve heard great things about it. There was several MINUTES of just straight nudity that adds absolutely nothing to the story. Nudity done well is great for storytelling, but CONSTANT nudity consequently makes it far more low-brow. I’ll get invested and immediately get taken right out of it again because it’s just so excessive. serious scene? Bam- unnecessary nude character.

Imagine this with a dude and his cock is flying around in the wind while fighting. Yeah, a little distracting and hard to take seriously.

inb4 “This has gotta be bait” Nope. Please go outside and touch grass if you genuinely think she HAS to be nude and that this is some insane take. in fact, go talk to, and watch this with another woman and convince them she had to be nude.

Motoko (1995) cosplayer

I remember seeing a video of some chick who was cosplaying the 1995 version of Motoko Kusanagi and I cannot for the life of me, find said video. All I can remember is that the cosplayer had really detailed contact lenses in and was sitting around places that looked they belonged in the anime but IRL

Best bots. 💕

I originally intended to make this a twist on a vintage lewd pinup but the further I went with it the more I preferred it this way. I am working on an anthropomorphised version to follow in that original vision but if I ever get around to finishing it or not is another matter entirely.

Thought you guys would enjoy them 👍

Was gits sac the first ppv anime ?

Did it air alongside boxing and ufc matches ? And lastly what was the target audience ? I know that the source is seinen but gits sac is an original work just like the movie so you can't really label them as seinen
