Ghost in the Shell 2 - Innocence
DVD Akio �tsuka
Mamoru Oshii's landmark Ghost
in the Shell (1995) largely defined the cyberpunk genre and
influenced the Matrix films in the U.S. The long-awaited sequel
continues the adventures of Batou, Major Kusanagi's former assistant,
who was left behind when she disappeared into the cyber-realm of the
Net. With his new human partner, Togusa, Batou investigates a series of
bloody murders involving gynoids, robots with sexual functions.
The case leads them to the headquarters of the Locus Solus company,
where Batou uncovers the evil secret behind the creation of the gynoids.
Innocence includes some staggeringly beautiful CG images,
especially a parade depicting characters from Chinese mythology. Oshii
contrasts this glittering beauty with Read More...

Ghost in the Shell
DVD Atsuko Tanaka
The skillful blending
of drawn animation and computer-generated imagery excited anime
fans when this science fiction mystery was released in 1995:
many enthusiasts believe Ghost suggests what the future of anime
will be, at least in the short term. The film is set in the
not-too-distant future, when an unnamed government uses lifelike
cyborgs or "enhanced" humans for undercover work. One
of the key cyborgs is The Major, Motoko Kusanagi, who resembles
a cross between The Terminator and a Playboy centerfold. She
finds herself caught up in a tangled web of espionage and

known as "The Puppet Master." Read More...

Ghost in the Shell - Stand Alone Complex Vol. 1
Limited Edition DTS DVD and Audio CD
DVD
The broadcast series based
on Mamoru Oshii's influential film
Ghost
in the Shell (1995) has been eagerly awaited on both sides of
the Pacific. Although its production values are lower, and director
Kenji Kamiyama never equals Oshii's inspired camerawork, Stand Alone
Complex does an impressive job of re-creating the setting and
characters. Major Motoko Kusanagi moves through a deadly city of mecha, cyborgs, humans, and human-prosthetic hybrids.
(The series takes place
in a parallel world, where Kusanagi never encountered the Puppet Master.) With the help of Batou,
Togusa, and other officers from Public
Security Section 9, she battles terrorists, hackers, and rogue
machinery. An insect-like tank with a grating, babyish voice is a
dubious addition to the cast, but fans of both Oshii's film and Shirow
Masamune's original manga Read
