This might sound a bit dumb but I want to get this shirt but im wondering if it might be a bit much for college and for wearing outside what do you all think 🤔
Art by Snegovski btw.
I remember being pretty dessapointed at how simple the machines looked in the earlier episodes, but in the latest episode things are so damn beautifully drawn that I had to pause to take screenshots several times lol
Heh. Batou and some robo doggies.
I had almost forgot this was airing because I hadn't seen it anywhere on my PrimeVideo, got reminded by a friend, went to go look for it expecting it to be somewhere on the front page or at least in my recommendations. It was just literally nowhere.
Despite it being the type of show Amazon should be recommending to me (watch tons of sci-fi and anime, even subbed to Crunchyroll through PrimeVideo) it's nowhere to be seen.
I even went to the genres section and filtered by anime, guess where it was? Literally all the way at the bottom of every anime on Prime.
This show deserves better.
A fine addition to my collection.
Japanese artist Hajime Sorayama has largely stayed out of the anime industry at large, but he is the contributor to The Ghost In The Shell's title logo. His career as an artist consists almost entirely of drawing erotic pinup artwork of gynoids stylized from how early robots were depicted in the 1930s, such as in the movie "Metropolis," including this depiction of Motoko in this picture.
It’s been almost 40yrs since the original manga and we are still being told the story of the Puppet Master.
Do you think this speaks to a lack of creativity?
Or, was the plot so prescient about our technological society that it’s still relevant today?
It’s still asking the same questions about how we define life and a soul, how we live with technology, and how we remain human in a technological age.
No society has really come up with answers to these questions. We play around them and float theories about living in a simulation but we don’t drill down and define ourselves on the most basic levels.
Instead of drawing clear boundaries we are still busy blurring the lines.
To me, the philosophical aspects of the series are more important than ever, and maybe too complex for society to take seriously.
