Anime n' Me
Motoko Stylized
The Motoko that starred in the movie not the Manga was more of a hardbody and less a cyberdoll than this pic...
True to my Gemini nature, I don't care for much Anime, but loved Ghost In the Shell when I saw it in the theater years ago. I build Gundam models, but can't watch more than a few minutes of the anime. I didn't care for Skycaptain(in spite of my glowing review), but applaud it's audacity. Liked Final Fantasy the movie, don't care for the video game..I know, some may see the pattern. I feature this pic on the site for the release of Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence, which just opened stateside, but not here in Manhattan(of course)! To celebrate, I watched the original Ghost on dvd, and loved it all over again. Any Matrix fans out there that have not seen this film, must. The Wachowski Brothers watched it a few times, and pay serious homage --or rip off, if you are negatively wired--several scenes. Bladerunner kids will enjoy it, as well as the Gibson Cyberpunk crowd. I feel a list brewing...
