The First 'Ghost In The Shell' Anime Movie Is Briefly Coming Back To Theaters This February

Courtesy of Funimation, the Mamoru Oshii directed Ghost in the Shell anime movie from 1995 will be briefly coming back to movie theaters at the start of February. Launched in select U.S. theaters on February 7th and 8th, if you are at all a fan of the movie then you really need to see this on the big screen. The choice of Mamoru Oshii and his team back in the 90's to adapt Masamune Shirow's manga of Ghost in the Shell was definitely an interesting one. However, after intricate and subtle films like Patlabor 2, having the same team come up with a modern tale of cyberpunk intrigue made a good deal of sense. Due to the nature of film, much of the exposition in the manga had to be skipped, specifically that of the artificially intelligent Fuchikomas.
