Review
Ghost in the Shell is a futuristic, fictional prospect of the world in the 2030s. At the time of its writing, the anime shifted 25 years into the future. Most of humanity has turned into Cyborgs. The plot is set in a fictional Japan that is filled with crime and corruption. The main focus is the “public security section 9” which is an organization that deals with this turmoil.
The first season focused on the “laughing man” incident where an investigation against cyber technology turns into a huge corruption scandal. Big companies were trying to take control of the trade for micromachine. Section 9’s efforts to take down these hackers and terrorists were thrilling in every sense. We shift two years into the future in the next season where the world is dealing with the effects of the 3rd and 4th world wars. The anime depicts the world to be a war zone until 2030. The technology shown in the series is not attainable in such a short period but the designs are brilliant. This type of future is entirely possible in the coming centuries. Overall, this action-packed anime is worth your watch. I would rate the two seasons, 4/5 for animation and music. What did you think about Ghost in the Shell?
