Ghost in the Shell (1995 film) | KnockBack: The Retro and Nostalgia Podcast Episode 213

While Ghost in the Shell began its life as a manga in the late '80s, the 1995 animated feature film that interpreted its story is what most people are familiar with. Created by renowned artist and writer Masamune Shirow and brought to the big screen by Mamoru Oshii, Ghost in the Shell deals with surprisingly heady subject matter: Science, politics, philosophy, and morality, amongst many other themes. The future world of cyborgs and humans envisioned in this work isn't too far off the mark, either, particularly when compared to other works of cyberpunk that are much more fanciful and overtly fictional in their approach. Overall, this is perhaps what makes Ghost in the Shell so notable to so many. It feels alive and true-to-form. And it's certainly worth a deep dive right here on KnockBack. A new episode of KnockBack launches each Monday morning.

Literally opened up a Mrs. Fields cookie immediately before starting this. Had no idea of the connection.

I wasn't aware this was based on manga originally. I think I first watched the anime movie in high school, and I remember the dope cyberpunk setting and lots of boobs. Like Dagan said, apparently the author/artist has kind of gone deep in the pervert pool. There are even panels from his old Ghost in the Shell manga where Major has lesbian orgies and it leaves very little to the imagination. Maybe he found his true calling in smut peddling.

Great discussion guys. I'm a huge fan of the Ghost in the Shell franchise. From the original film all the way to the new Netlifx 'Ghost in the Shell 2045' show. I even enjoyed the live action film, for its own merits too. The first film is iconic and haunting, and it does present scenarios and concerns that are even more relevant today, as much as themes raised in Blade Runner and other sci-fi works. It's not my favourite part of the franchise, but I still think it's a very important cyberpunk sci-fi touchstone in our time. I remember the chills I got seeing the poster and promotional artwork for it.

I respect Sub watchers, but everything about authenticity and tone etc. etc. always being superior gets thrown out the window when you watch certain things. I dare you to go listen to Goku’s Japanese voice actress and tell me, honestly, that it’s better/superior to Sean Schemmel. Turns out, Dubs can be better sometimes if you come at it from not being a snub (not that you are, just the royal you). But again, I respect Sub watchers 100%, just not the people who proclaim that it’s always better and superior every time, with a straight face. Like bruh, you don’t speak Japanese dog lol it’s OK. It’s not live-action dubbing, the lip syncs mostly match up in modern anime dubbing. It’s similar to someone telling me the 2001 A Space Odyssey book is superior to Stanley Kubrick’s film just because one is the original. Sometimes, being the original/closest to source isn’t the point. Both Sub and Dub have their place together. :)
