Ghost in the Shell Series Episode 1

Enter the Matrix four years before the Neo-lithic Era

Join Stuart, Arnie, and Justin as they dive naked off a futuristic Japanese skyscraper and into thirty years of Ghost In The Shell, starting with 1995’s groundbreaking animated movie. But did director Mamoru Oshii preserve enough of the original spirit of Masamune Shirow’s playful sci-fi manga in his big-budget telling of cybernetic cops taking down a super-hacker?  And can Major Kusanagi remain twice the cyborg as elusive foe The Puppet Master once she’s stripped of half her body parts?
