The Major Component (Ghost in the Shell 1995 vs 2017 | Single Serving)

from Cocoa☆Disaster Hosted by Cocoa☆Disaster

Today, Jay (@TheJayOfSpade on Twitter) and FutureFriend (@FutureFriendLP on Twitter) join me to talk about two sides of the same coin: the earliest and latest movie adaptations of Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell! The first is often held up as one of the finest pieces of animation, and the second was largely lambasted for, among other things, not being able to live up to the original movie. But is this ire justified? Is there something still worth looking at in the Hollywood Ghost in the Shell, or is it best left forgotten like so many other attempts to bring anime to Hollywood? We discuss all this and more in a very special episode of Cocoa☆Disaster!
