[Ghost in the Shell] My desire to reconsider innocence is clashing with my feelings of not wanting to because it’s kind of tough.

Mamoru Oshii’s directed work INNOCENCE 4K Remaster 20TH ANNIVERSARY Special screening to celebrate the 20th anniversary, limited release for two weeks starting February 28 (Friday).

1: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I get sleepy.

2: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I only remember that the dog was cute.

3: Japan Otaku Reviews

Look at the crab yakuza properly.

5: Japan Otaku Reviews

Confronting the yakuza can be the most interesting of all.

6: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t shoot! Absolutely! Do not shoot, under any circumstances!

7: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

You said you wouldn’t shoot!

Didn’t you say you wouldn’t shoot?!

8: Japan Otaku Reviews

Don’t force yourself to understand what I’m saying.

There was an incident where a sexroid went out of control, and the cause was the original source of the ghost—just keeping that in mind.

As long as I can enjoy the beauty of the visuals, music, and voice, I’ll be satisfied.

9: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>8

But then there’s Batou’s somewhat venting sermon…

10: Japan Otaku Reviews

You just need to read the original story.

11: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

>>10

What Batou is saying to the original child is completely the opposite!

12: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

When I think about the feelings of the girl who was the original dubbing voice and was yelled at by the man who came to help for an incomprehensible reason

13: Japan Otaku Reviews

I felt that the current age suits me better than when I saw it in the past.

14: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

It’s interesting that Batou’s sense of ethics is the most twisted.

16: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>14

Is it a world where one can replace their own body with machines, except for the brain and some organs?

15: Japan Otaku Reviews

I watched GIS yesterday and Innocence today, so I realized that the opening credits of Innocence are a self-homage to GIS.

17: Japan Otaku Reviews

Overall, there are a lot of quotes, but especially in the middle to later parts, there are too many lines quoted! It felt like half a gag.

20: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>17

The atmosphere is serious, but the background setting is more comedic.

18: Japan Otaku Reviews

I really don’t understand why Hadari went berserk at the climax…

I looked it up online and got the answer, but I still don’t really understand…

21: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>18

Did you inject the virus with Naoto Takenaka’s final fart?

The remaster has subtitles, but I wonder if that part was picked up.

111: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>21

Naoto Takenaka – Security Chief – connected to Hadari.

When Takenaka dies, the Trojan horse that was prepared for Hadaari will burst out.

19: Japan Otaku Reviews

“Stay dry, it’s a double meaning, right?”

27: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>19

Are you saying it’s a female transformation?

22: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It’s not as difficult of a story as people say.

It’s just that understanding and agreement are different.

25: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>22

I think the main storyline itself is very simple.

It’s just making things unnecessarily complicated and indirect with phrasing and presentation.

23: Japan Otaku Reviews

Because it is a virus (combat program), Hadari (complete robot) has become a weapon of murder.

24: Japan Otaku Reviews

Do you have to explain everything with dialogue?

29: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>24

Please give me some material to imagine why this is happening, Director Oshii…

26: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a little detail where in a cut scene at the grocery store, Batou drops a gun together with the dog food, and it is casually revealed that he actually shot himself as the cartridge also falls down.

28: Japan Otaku Reviews

Sometimes the visuals and rhythm feel great…

It depends on the condition.

30: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

Isn’t it explained quite a bit in the dialogue?

It’s just that a quote from some ancient proverb is inserted before the explanation.

31: Japan Otaku Reviews

If you’re going to review it, you should do it on a big screen.

36: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>31

Only a small hut has been assigned… On top of that, it’s only once a day, and there are cinemas that show the movies in the order of Innocence → GIS…

32: Japan Otaku Reviews

I have a memory of going to see a movie like that with my friend and being left dumbfounded because I didn’t know it was like that.

33: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Togusa is too pitiable.

Because of that gloomy old man, my self-esteem is plummeting.

46: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>33

Even though I’m almost flesh and blood, my cyborg partner suddenly starts a gunfight with the yakuza.

50: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>46

The dog covered the carpet in poop.

47: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>33

It’s funny how Batou casually puts the blame for the raid on the yakuza office on everyone else.

34: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I guess the main theme is something like the sorrow of cyborgs.

I think the victimized girl could be treated a little more kindly.

37: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

It’s not a movie that’s hard to understand even on its own… no, maybe the major is the noise.

42: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>37

At the time of its release, I only saw the commercial and thought it was a standalone movie, so I went to see it without knowing anything about Ghost in the Shell.

I remembered wondering, “Who is the last one…?!”

38: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>34

There are casualties!

45: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>38

That is the way the original work is structured.

This Batou has a tendency to empathize with the dolls that are mass-produced and have the same ghost, so he is enraged by the sacrifices of the dolls.

49: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>38

The victims were all trash like lolicons…

54: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>49

That’s not it! It’s about the doll that was possessed by a ghost!

57: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>54

What is this guy talking about…?

35: Japan Otaku Reviews

Batou yelling at a little girl.

A spectator who calms down and looks at things from a slightly elevated perspective.

39: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

However, I want you to see just that because Batou’s combat animation after entering the plant ship is amazing.

40: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

In the original work, both the victim’s child and Batou are quite tough.

41: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Isn’t it sad for the doll?!!!!!!! 😡

43: Japan Otaku Reviews

(The parade scene is long…)

44: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Bato is standing on the gynoid side and preaching to the human side… I couldn’t understand why this old man was so angry.

It’s crazy how naturally you see yourself on the doll’s side, Batou-san.

48: Japan Otaku Reviews

The part about the virtual maze is redundant.

51: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The scene where I reunite with Moto is nice.

It’s nice to see Batou dressed in a jacket, looking like a gentleman.

It’s a bit creepy, but

52: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Influenced by this, an anonymous person writes their thoughts in the remarks column.

70: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>52

Either way, it seems like Nameless won’t be able to get promoted, so whatever…

53: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dog is not properly trained, and it’s quite a bad case of mental health moves, Innocence Bato.

55: Japan Otaku Reviews

In a recent Yahoo interview I read, it said that it’s okay not to understand the conversation, just feel it.

It sounded like something Christopher Nolan would say.

56: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Well, it’s unfortunate for the police officer who sacrificed himself, but…

60: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>56

What? Are you saying that dolls aren’t pathetic?

58: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If anything, I wanted to see more of the detective from the local police at the beginning.

59: Japan Otaku Reviews

It’s rare for Batou-san to be mentally stable… and with the Major gone, everything can be explained by that alone…

61: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>59

She is stable because she has a boyfriend.

62: Japan Otaku Reviews

I think the part with Naoto Takenaka is probably extremely boring.

63: Japan Otaku Reviews

I like Batou who scoops up the dog’s ears so they don’t end up in the food bowl…

64: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

The visuals are beautiful, but the problem is that Batou is making quite a few bad moves.

65: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

The supporting characters like the forensic dad, Mr. Haraway, and the local officers are adding a great touch.

68: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>65

It’s Mrs. Harawei, Yoshiko Sakakibara.

It’s got a nice flavor.

71: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

>>68

Haraway

I don’t need either Miss or Mrs.

72: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>68

No need for Miss or Mrs.

66: Japan Otaku Reviews

Ishikawa spoiling Batou is not good either.

67: Japan Otaku Reviews

I feel that there is a common understanding that it’s okay to bully Batou-san, even including SAC GIG.

69: Japan Otaku Reviews

Well, I get why it makes sense to think about the ghost of the copy embedded in the doll, given the theme of the work and the flow of events!

When I woke up contained in a doll, it seemed like I was literally turned into a sex toy, or forced to commit murder out of murderous intent; it must be unbearable from the perspective of the copy.

73: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was a mystery why Togusa went to assert dominance over a married person.

74: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Even unripe persimmons are not pecked at by crows!

I would like to say it once.

75: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oshii said that as humans age, they inevitably become attached to objects.

Tomohiro Machiyama said on Hatena Diary that he can’t accept the idea that dolls are more important than humans.

I felt like it was made in a way that the ending or the story itself didn’t really matter.

76: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

The detective in charge said that even the crows won’t peck at unripe persimmons, and the quoted conversation is quite easy to understand and gentle.

Kim, who suddenly spouted Chinese poetry, reflects.

77: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx5

The visuals are seriously amazing, so make sure to see it while it’s playing in theaters.

There are so many scenes where I thought, “They really went all out on that!”

78: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

What good does it do to blame the mirror when your own face is distorted?

79: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Drop one shelf.

Dropped Wire Head Death

The text does not have a direct meaning in English as it appears to be a combination of characters that do not form a coherent phrase.

Thirteen lobsters are coming.

80: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx6

The talented Toshio Suzuki, who turned this movie into the black, is either a producer or a con artist.

81: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>80

There was a time when they were playing a lot of previews on Nippon TV.

82: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>81

Innocence

That is life.

97: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>80

Wasn’t it finally not black in the box set with DVD extras?

83: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

Well, there’s no way Ghost in the Shell 2 would sell.

84: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>83

The Ghost in the Shell without the major…

85: Japan Otaku Reviews

It was the first movie I fell asleep in at the theater.

86: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It seems they spent 2 billion and then made a revenue of 1 billion, but in the end, they were able to recover it all…

First of all, I think it’s an incredible achievement that we were able to reach a billion with this content.

87: Japan Otaku Reviews

I was reading ARISE as “Alice”.

I want to become cybernetic.

88: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I hope you enjoy the veteran voice actor’s nuanced performance.

89: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I just want to watch the hacking scenes forever.

90: Japan Otaku Reviews

What was the parade of idiomatic expressions?

99: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>90

I think that once we can connect to external storage devices like the internet in real-time, we’ll have conversations filled with famous quotes.

100: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>99

It’s like a somewhat elegant Shanks thread or a tough thread.

101: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>99

This is a conversation that feels a bit inappropriate to have here, but I think it’s probably just going to be full of certain gay video topics in reality.

102: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>99

It’s like an extended version of a standard conversation.

104: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>99

It’s actually happening that way, and otaku really love memes.

91: Japan Otaku Reviews

Togusa said that he was allowed into Section 9 because he hasn’t undergone cyberization to the body.

I feel like both Batou and the Major have redundancy in various places.

Isn’t it something we, as thinking tanks, can’t say?

Jokes are the lubricant of communication.

92: Japan Otaku Reviews

The Chinese defense robot is cool.

96: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>92

Inability to connect logically with the supervisor

Perform initialization.

When I first saw the subtitles, I was like, “Huh…?”

114: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>96

When you understand the meaning, it becomes awful… right?

93: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

It seems interesting that, on the contrary, overseas it was a distribution condition that “it definitely won’t sell, so at least put GIS2 in the title.”

94: Japan Otaku Reviews

Both GIS and Innocence have high entertainment value in the early stages…

95: Japan Otaku Reviews

If there were Tachikomas in Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell world, would Batou-kun have been a bit more at peace?

98: Japan Otaku Reviews

I thought it was a sharp-moving extermination type, but other than that, I forgot it was the major.

103: Japan Otaku Reviews

At one point, the Wiz Daphne’s X account was doing that.

It’s pretty uncool to quote without carefully choosing the context.

“Speak in your own words.”

105: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Hadari-chan is a bit of a mess.

The girl from the original dubbing is a bit unattractive too.

Togusa’s daughter, too…

106: Japan Otaku Reviews

The dubbed children’s version definitely has much stronger ghosts remaining.

107: Japan Otaku Reviews

Oshii also mentioned in a recent interview, “There was a time when I thought that way,” so… now he says he only watches a few movies a year.

112: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>107

Old man, huh?

120: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>112

At the time of its release, it was one thing, but now it’s a fine old man…

122: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

>>112

I’m already an old man!!

109: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Because I didn’t want to die!

😯

113: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

Is it currently playing in theaters?

115: Japan Otaku Reviews

You poop anywhere, huh...

You poop anywhere, huh…

116: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

The loli major in the cyber maze is cute.

The guardian angel or whatever is creepy, Batou…

118: Japan Otaku Reviews

From April, there will be an original drawing exhibition of Shiromasa, so I hope all the Ghost in the Shell fans will support it…

https://theghostintheshell.jp/news/shirow-masamune-exhibition-ticket

119: Japan Otaku Reviews

Spirits, appear…

121: Japan Otaku Reviews

Can you enjoy it even if you’ve only watched the main anime series of Ghost in the Shell?

125: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>121

I feel like it’s better to just focus on GIS.

Don’t catch a cold from the gloominess.

129: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

>>125

GIS is also being screened simultaneously!

126: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

I’m not sure which part of the anime you are referring to, but reading the first volume of the original work or the first film version by Oshii should be fine.

127: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

Since SAC is parallel, it doesn’t matter much.

128: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>121

I’m not sure which part of the anime series you are referring to, but the premise here is based on the 1995 movie version of Ghost in the Shell.

Whether one can enjoy this after seeing that really depends on the person.

123: Japan Otaku Reviews

The latest Mamoru Oshii is too old and it’s insane.

124: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wonder if I should try watching it in the theater.

130: Japan Otaku Reviews

You should take a look at it… GIS is…!

131: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

It’s a movie that you can sleep very soundly while watching lightly drinking at night.

138: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>131

I can’t beat Sky Crawlers and Angel’s Egg…

132: Japan Otaku Reviews

At the time of its release, I didn’t really like it because it felt like a second helping, as it wasn’t used in GIS.

Looking back now, this is the one I’ve watched the most in Ghost in the Shell.

133: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

As a technology promotion, it’s a perfect score.

As an entertainment work, opinions seem to be divided.

134: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

There’s nothing boring about it at all; rather, it’s actually interesting.

Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell is really gloomy, isn’t it?

140: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>134

Not entertaining.

For some people, that’s why it’s good, and this is how it is.

135: Japan Otaku Reviews

There are many series in Ghost in the Shell, and the timelines are all different, so it’s quite difficult for first-time viewers.

136: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

If Innocence is 20 years old, then GIS would be 30 years old!!

141: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>136

The original serialization started 35 years ago!

143: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>141

Masamune Shirow has surpassed his sixtieth birthday!!

149: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>143

This year I turn 64!

Next month, two new volumes of the erotic illustration series will be released!

155: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>149

I guess I don’t really need to go back to manga anymore.

159: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>155

You must be making quite a bit from the copyright fees, huh?

It’s mostly about original story rape, but…

142: Japan Otaku Reviews

I prefer the puppeteer from the original version of the house bow.

144: Japan Otaku Reviews

Rather, while there are flashy scenes and visually striking moments as entertainment, I think it’s hard to evaluate because the process leading up to them is long and difficult to understand.

As a movie, I personally really love it and watch it multiple times.

Just personally

145: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I was surprised by how cheerful it felt when I read the manga.

147: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>145

Beautiful girl, me.

152: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx4

>>145

If it’s Tsuru Hiromi, then it feels like this, right?

157: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

>>152

The PS1 game, which is the closest to the original work, has a really bright and light-hearted vibe, especially in episode 9…

146: Japan Otaku Reviews

Watching the Yakuza attack scene while laughing.

148: Japan Otaku Reviews

I want to see it, but the fact that I can no longer hear Acchan’s voice will probably crush me, so I don’t want to watch it after all…

150: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx3

If the world is like this, I can understand Oshii’s idea that humanity will increasingly become apathetic, leading to a dark society lacking individuality and motivation.

For now, since I have to eat when I’m hungry, I prefer to set that aside and work, which I like more about Shiromasa.

158: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>150

So then, what should a cyborg, who doesn’t even need to eat for maintenance, think about while living? That’s an aspect that is quite intriguing from a science fiction perspective.

Even cyborgs require maintenance costs, so in the end, labor is something that cannot be avoided.

162: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>158

In the original story, the major also deliberately consumes processed meals to maintain his humanity, just like ordinary food.

In the end, I think that if humans want to maintain their humanity, they need to do human-like things.

151: Japan Otaku Reviews

In the end, when the major returned to Section 9, it should have been refreshing to go towards a hopeful future!

No one desires it, and there’s no way it could happen.

153: Japan Otaku Reviews

If there was a 4K screening nearby, I wanted to go see it.

154: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>153

Traveling is a wonderful thing.

156: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx2

I like the moment when Koga made a bit of a ‘tch…’ expression when Ishikawa interrupted and told him to just get to the point about how difficult it was to wash things.

As a result of delving into the fine behaviors of humans, everyone feels very humanlike.

161: Japan Otaku Reviews

>>156

I’m envious of workplaces where the hierarchy seems strict yet juniors can still joke around.

160: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Speaking of which, there was also a plan for an anime that follows the original work, right?

163: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

Ishikawa isn’t too much of a downer, but he doesn’t complain much either.

164: Japan Otaku ReviewsYeahx1

I wrote in the overall evaluation report that things have been strange since the puppet master incident, didn’t I?! Haven’t you read it…?!

I often think that being angry at the section chief is not good.

165: Japan Otaku Reviews

I just got out of prison… I don’t know what the previous generation was doing!! I love the pathetic performance of the successor yakuza.

It seems like they are primarily an actor and also a voice actor, but every time I see them, they really give a great performance.

166: Japan Otaku Reviews

Shall we talk about work soon?

168: Japan Otaku Reviews

There’s a lot of noise in your head.

169: Japan Otaku Reviews

I’m on my period.
