Science Saru’s Ghost in the Shell continues to impress! In this Episode 2 review, we’re breaking down the adaptation of Super Spartan and Junk Jungle, comparing it to Masamune Shirow’s original manga and Mamoru Oshii’s 1995 film. Oh yeah, and THAT Endorno scene…
My main memory of the manga other than “huh, the Major actually has a personality” is the extensive footnotes, which are just something I dig. And during a big philosophical chat between characters, Shirou put a little note saying something like “Don’t take this too seriously, I just think it’s neat”. Great stuff.
