New ‘Ghost In The Shell’ Anime Continues To Show It’s The Definitive Adaptation

A review of Robot Rondo says the new Ghost in the Shell anime stays close to Masamune Shirow’s manga.

The robot-rebellion storyline and rogue robotics company speed up the plot and give Togusa more action.

Stronger animation and more flexible character portrayals help the episode stand apart from earlier adaptations.

The review also sees echoes of Mamoru Oshii’s Innocence as the series moves toward the Puppet Master.
