    When I was DEFINITELY too young, like maybe 10~12ish, a guy in a used video place sold me Ghost in the Shell (the first movie) and it changed my life, I then read the manga a little later, and it changed my life even more. Major Kusanagi was so formative she became gender goals. 🤣

    INSIDE THE YELLOW COCOON SHELL (Phạm Thiên Ân, 2023). I found this Vietnamese film quietly mesmerising. Very little seems to happen here - a woman dies in a motorcycle crash, and her brother-in-law goes on a sort of pilgrimage with his young nephew, who is too young to understand that >> #FilmSky

    I second Unboxious' recommendation of *Ghost in the Shell*. You've seen Oshii's movie, so maybe try [2026 version](https://myanimelist.net/anime/58929/Koukaku_Kidoutai_TV), it's pretty different in tone, but Major stil remains badass. Also: - [Assassination Classroom](https://myanimelist.net/anime/24833/Ansatsu_Kyoushitsu) – Koro-sensei is quite a role model - [Classroom of the Elite](https://myanimelist.net/anime/35507/Youkoso_Jitsuryoku_Shijou_Shugi_no_Kyoushitsu_e) – it's very edgy, so…

    I still remember reading Ebert’s 4-star review of Ghost in the Shell and how he talked about it like just another *movie*, full stop, no asterisk, no “…for a cartoon.” Hard to describe how revolutionary that level of cultural conversation felt in 1996.

    I realised you just have to unlock everything even if you have preferred characters so you can further improve your build. It's just fun running the numbers and becoming unstoppable. I picked one up called Vital Shell where you control a gundam and it looks like a Dreamcast/PS1 game. I also figure they'll be good games for my kids to start with because they just have to talk around and not get hit.

    「Ghost in the Shell Live Action」 There’s a lot of things you can say is wrong with this film and be correct, but the most egregious sin it commits is making the Major job several times and not one instance is it ever justified. Also just worse versions of every iconic scene.
