Ghost in the Shell (1995) | Theatrical trailer

[rodrigocapitelli]

Can anyone tell me the cronological order to watch GitS? i'm completely lost, there's Ghots in the Shell, Ghost in the Shell SAC, and then there's another movie x.x, I'm completely lost.

[XIIIEvangelion]

@rodrigocapitelli The show is independent from the Mamoru Oshii's films. You have the show "stande alone complex" of 52 episodes and a movie "solid state society" that conclude the show.

[MsPowerCheese]

I found the nudity somewhat gratuitous.

[rcarlson1993]

@MsPowerCheese On the contrary, I would argue that the nudity in Ghost in the Shell is less gratuitous and more artful than the norm in Japanese animation. It goes more for realism than eroticism.

If you've seen the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex TV series, I'd say that the human body is used much more gratuitously there. The thing about the nudity in the movie is that it's supposed to be cold and inhuman rather than sexualized.

[samsam29]

There's a plethora of bare boobs in the trailer alone.

Do you know what a "plethora" is, Jefe?

[thexxangel]

boooooooooooooooooooooooobs O.o



[libertyphoenix777]

All I can say is WEIRD, and those fingers, that each split and become 3 smaller fingers to type way faster, STRANGE, Cool Helicopters though. Is there an English version?

[KOTYAR0]

@libertyphoenix777 of course there is. and there is a lot English crazy fans, of course, too

[Buuub08]

The English version sucks, go for subbed. Saw this waaay back in the day as a kid... booof.. mind blown.

[masx14xmas]

Cuantos recuerdos¡!!!

[discobldbath88]

Does anybody happen to know the name of the last song played in this trailor???

[patio87]

I wish the show had half the feeling of this movie.

[NeAt0B0rRit0DUDE]

Just watched the movie.Its sick the bit were he tries to open the hatch on the spider tank shocked me

[backflippingcow]

boobies!

[patio87]

I wish that SAC had the same feeling as this movie, alas it doesn't, and therefore I don't like SAC.

[3rdeye1976]

probably my favorite anime of all time, straight classic!

[Kronin90]

To be honest the English dub wasn't bad if you compare it to other anime dubs at the time they really sucked compared to GITS so I was satisfied but I still love Atsuko Tanaka and the Japanese cast

[bbbblllaaaa]

I'm new to ghost in the shell and I have a question what is happening in the first 4 minuits of the film because I have no idea what these people are talking about. If someone could answer me with as much detail as possible that would be great

[bicycleman]

@bbbblllaaaa Haven't watched it in a while so ...

From what I remember they had a case of a programmer with classified information defecting from Japan.

A SWAT team was sent to recover him, but ran into "political problems" with the foreign diplomat claiming diplomatic immunity and that the programmer has asked for political amnesty so they had no right to arrest any of them.

[bicycleman]

@bbbblllaaaa [continue]

Section 9's job was effectively a false flag operation, their job was to "take out" the diplomat while the foreign affairs ministry blame it on terrorism.

[GTAIVFan17]

I haven't seen this movie i only saw what it's called 'cause of the boobs!

[pattikerans]

the trailer really sucked compared to the actual movie, first and second were just flat out,,,,,,Intense.....ghost in the shell and Akira are just awesome. Sometimes GITS reminds me of blade runner

[ddemaliaj]

this movie along with cowboy bebop series (not the movie) defines anime.

[Dieg0505]

clasic, master piece.

[MASR4]

the eglish dub of motoko sucked

[underbightdog23]

i know im going to get a bunch of shit for this but, i usually perfer the english dubb if there is a good voice actor behind it. there are some cases like grave of the fireflys where i perfer the asian actors

[Mezzoponte]

I have the soundtrack but I can't find the (wonderful) song at the end of the trailer. Can someone help me? Please, if you do, click on reply...

Arigatou!

[nu0two]

An awesome work of Cyberpunk and, IMO, the quintessential animated SciFi experience.

[Johnlindsey289]

@nu0two

More than Akira?

[SnakeEater438]

This is one of the best movies ever. I heard about Hollywood remake. They must be joking. Even if they spend 300 million dollars on it, it won’t be as good as this one.

[Johnlindsey289]

@SnakeEater438

There's already a live-action GITS movie, it was called The Matrix.

[philbateman1989]

@Johnlindsey289 Matrix had very little in common with GITS, in Matrix, humans lived in a computer simulation and were unaware of it. In GITS, humans were all connected via a network that they were all aware of. In Matrix, the objective was to free the humans from the computer world, in GITS the story was centered around solving a network of crimes involving ghost-jackers and a cop searching for his partner's conscience lost in the net. Very different movies with a possibly similar visual style.

[Johnlindsey289]

@philbateman1989

There are other similar moives to Ghost in The Shell such as The Island (2005) since Bay is a fan of GITS and anime, i bet he had GITS as an influence with references such as the cloning sequence a reference to the opening, futuristic idea of what it is being human and true identity. There's also Minority Report, bits of Avatar (Jake Sully having an ID crisis including the same cyberbody switcing technology since Cameron is a anime fan) and more.

[elektrosoundwave]

I really need to get my copy of this out of my parents' house.

[Astrashar]

I just saw this today. It wipes everything in movie theaters out, I loved it.

The voice acting was rather terrible though

[saraparvez]

i like this one better than the second one that came after it.

[MaxtronZero]

@0:32, whats the name of the track ?

[Dakashizzlenizzle]

i like Batous hair here

[femalehk]

an epic~

[lyue1996]

Boobies...ON YOUTUBE?

[plutoend99]

can someone recommend me an anime thats similar to this?

[davidatheist]

@plutoend99 ghost in the shell 2, vexille, appleseed, appleseed ex machina, Akira also watch the ghost in the shell series its great too.

[Johnlindsey289]

@plutoend99

Akira (GITS is from the producers), Vexville, Armitage III, Ninja Scroll, Golgo 13 The Professional, Wicked City, Animatrix, Appleseed 1 & 2, Metroplis (2001), Spriggan, Project A-Ko and Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind.

[plutoend99]

@Johnlindsey289 Thanks ill check these out =D

[saraparvez]

this is a kick ass movie

[KevlarKuma]

This is the movie that shotgunned my brain all over the wall when I saw it in junior high. An absolute classic, that dosen't get the credit it deserves.

[mchelo18]

Simply one of the best science fictions ever made, with the craziest soundtrack.

[MDthornton83]

I love this movie. It's an absolute classic. The sequel was great two.

[josh5dude]

@MDthornton83 the sequal was also very depressing...... : / poor batou........

[plutoend99]

@MDthornton83 this movie is 100x better than the sequel. the sequel was just a fancy tech demo

[Johnlindsey289]

@MDthornton83

I know and do you like the series? do you also like this movie's cousin Akira?

[MDthornton83]

Absolutely.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MDthornton83

Me too, do you think it's as good as Akira? how old were you when you saw this? i was 15 back in 96 after being impressed by Akira, i knew i had to buy this movie for my 15th birthday after seeing ads for the movie including reviews on how it did in theaters and in magazines, i bought it with Akira and it left an impression on me. Do you think Felina Feral on Swat Kats looks like an anthro version of Kusanagi?

[MDthornton83]

@Johnlindsey289 I first saw Ghost in the Shell when I was 17 back in the year 2000. And back then, this movie was only 5 years old. Absolutely, this movie is among the ranks of Akira as one of the most influential Japanese anime films ever directed and produced. I saw Akira for the first time back in 1996 when I was 13, and it blew me away. You know, come to think of it, I think Felina Feral does have some resemblence to Kusanagi.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MDthornton83

Just imagine if Kusanagi touched that Ninja Turtles mutant goo formula that turns people into animals or if Dr. Emil Dorain and Professor Milo from Batman TAS together injected her with a feline formula yet Kusanagi still retains her hair, you get Felina Feral. Only sad thing is that Felina doesn't strip to wear thermotic disguising like Kusanagi does. Kusanagi is a cutie in the manga/TV show while Kusanagi is ugly in the movie

[MDthornton83]

@Johnlindsey289 Well I wouldn't say she's ugly in the movie. But she does look somewhat masculine in comparison to her later appearances.

[Johnlindsey289]

@MDthornton83

Do you remember Professor Milo (The Moe from 3 Stooges lookalike?) and Emil Dorain? Milo looked like Moe don't you think?

[ClickForOutkast]

@Johnlindsey289 I find her much more appealing in this movie than in SAC.

[CaptainTripppz]

Stand Alone Complex or even Innocence with it's US $20 million budget could never improved on Oshii's original Ghost In the Shell. The animation is something very unique, hand-crafted noir, creating characters of it's own, apart from the series, sequel or manga (which the film does not exactly follow). In the comic, the major is a gay libertine, the chief is a monkey, Batou, well Batou is Batou, but there are a lot of cute little things Shirow created that did not surface until SAC...

[Spetsnazovets]

@CaptainTripppz The cutest things in the GITS are Tachikomas. I always watch the japanese Anime in Japanese with subtitles. Allows me to understand the convos without the lame English translation

[CaptainTripppz]

@Spetsnazovets yeah, Tachikomas are the main thing I had in mind when I wrote that. They just don't fit into the atmosphere of the 1995 GITS anime. Personally the CG animation in SAC is kind of annoying, it looks a little cheap/rushed at times... but I'm an oldfag who was introduced to anime by hand-drawn titles like Transformers, Robotech, Fist of the North Star, Venus Wars, etc... and the world has since moved on...

[Spetsnazovets]

@CaptainTripppz lol bro I grew up on transformers, both jap and US, I watched Robotech, Macross, New Fist Of North Star, Voltron. I dont mind either to be honest.

[halodude1177]

I cant stress how amazing this movie is. Please, talk the time to watch it. For the love of god x3

[mizouyuu]

TV series are more simplified and less animated that cause by low budget and short time period, and the TV series sometimes look crap.

On the other hand this one is far better animated but the plot that sometimes seems hard to understand may bother you.

[josh5dude]

out of all the ghost in the shell movies and tv series this is my favorite.......

[Yora21]

It's the one that follows the main storyline of the original manga.

[Aaronfluxx]

@Yora21 I wonder if a direct adaptation of the book could ever be made

[R4Zi3L]

@josh5dude mine too.... its like peace of art for me... i can watch every scene from back to back multiple times ;)

[ThePhoenixANime217]

Wow,

I've recently purchased the Stand Alone Complete 1st Gig DVD Boxset and after watching a few episodes I can really see how much the animation has improved since the first movie.

Not saying it's bad, it looks great, of course better for the time it was made in but still, a godess among the anime's none the less!

[AllIAnceghost]

The voice of solid snake.................cool.

[crimatix]

what is the song from 0.30 and onwards? is there a clip from that very scene on youtube?

[2garinzm]

@crimatix it is "Reincarnation" by Kenji Kawai

[ztrapwn]

I don't understand japanese so can't really judge how good it is, but english voice acting in anime generally sucks ass. GITS is decent, but most are crap.

[LeaTelamon]

One of the best cyberpunk anime movies from the 90s, easily. Animation is still top notch even for this time, given they did not use extensive CGI as they do today for one, but everything was more or less hand-drawn, and the story is compelling ofr those who like that with the more philosophical spin.

[Aaronfluxx]

@ztrapwn Ghost in the shell's dub was good compared to others, but it sill wasn't the greatest. I thought that Kusanagi's voice was too mechanical in the english dub; there was no life to it.

[plutoend99]

@ztrapwn which animes would you say have english good voice acting then??

[lovetheb0mb]

@ztrapwn Your weeaboo is showing.

[BlueCrystalGem]

@ztrapwn they don't take dubbing seriously and think cartoons are cartoons. But if they have the budget and hire actual actors for voice acting, the result is often really good. Examples are all the big time pixar or disney movies.

[Hrko1992]

@ztrapwn just do what i did, download ghost in the shell with original voices and hardcoded english subs. thats what i did, it was awesome. and yea, most english voices in animes such ass, but GTS had it pretty decent imo

[azonicrider32]

@ztrapwn thats why you watch them with subtitles =]

[Konrad19april]

@ztrapwn

It's true - I can't listening american version of Dragon Ball...

[XSportSeeker]

Thanks for uploading the original japanese trailer... I hate the dubbed version.

[5ilver42]

I like this movie a lot. One spot I just love is the Major's reaction after seeing the T08A2 spider tank.

[piercito05]

El dibujo tiene algo muy familiar con el Metal Gear Solid

[shinigami0sonta]

such a great and wonderful movie ty for uploading dragon-san
