Good to know that you'll continue watching it. I'll Watch the Pilot tonight, since I'm awake.

I'll let you know once I finish the episode. I didn't watch Netflix over the weekend.

I did finish the Pilot & it was good I think. There are some brutal reviews of it, but I enjoyed what I saw & will watch more.

it is far from the epic anime movie but like i said, it will get better. and also by stop comparing it to the movie, it's enjoyable.

**canflam** · 08-04-2021, 01:19 AM

OK. Unsure what exactly people were comparing of those 2.

**MsPerfectionist** · 08-11-2021, 09:02 PM

i was referring to the Ghost in the Shell anime movie vs SAC_2045

from the visual, the music to the story.

**canflam** · 08-11-2021, 09:56 PM

Oh. I thought you meant comparing that 1990's movie to the 1 that Scarlett Johansson was in.

**MsPerfectionist** · 08-12-2021, 03:27 PM

Scarlett's version was ok compared to the anime movie. it's great visually but just not epic as the anime movie.

Roger Ebert gave that 1995 film 3 out of 5

. Here's part of what he put in a review of ''Ghost in the Shell'':
“Ghost in the Shell'' is intended as a breakthrough film, aimed at theatrical release instead of a life on tape, disc and campus film societies.

The ghost of anime can be seen here trying to dive into the shell of the movie mainstream. But this particular film is too complex and murky to reach a large audience, I suspect; it's not until the second hour that the story begins to reveal its meaning. But I enjoyed its visuals, its evocative soundtrack (including a suite for percussion and heavy breathing), and its ideas.''

''Ghost in the Shell'' made less than $2,500,000 at the box office with a $10,000,000 budget. I did not even know of ''Ghost in the Shell'' growing up in the 1990's.

**MsPerfectionist** · 08-13-2021, 02:12 PM

wow i didn't know the original film didn't go that well at the box office

**canflam** · 08-13-2021, 02:57 PM

In a way I'm surprised. I didn't know of Manga or Manhwa growing up either.

**MsPerfectionist** · 08-13-2021, 03:06 PM

ahhh i guess i was too young then when it was first released.
