About “Ghost In The Shell STAND ALONE COMPLEX”
In 1995, “Ghost in the Shell,” a world-renowned manga by Masamune
Shirow, was adapted into an animated feature film of the same title. The following year, the film achieved No. 1 on Billboard magazine’s video chart in the U.S. and had a profound impact on numerous Hollywood movies. Seven years later, in response to both national and global expectations for a sequel, the TV series “Ghost In The Shell: STAND
ALONE COMPLEX” was born.
The plot focuses on the drama surrounding a character called “Laughing Man” in a standalone episodic style and minimal esoteric elements that are common in science fiction.
