Ghost in the Shell


From the futuristic 'police thriller': Ghost in the Shell. This animated movie approaches 'post human' through the means of a cybernetic organism (cyborg). Preserving the brain of a human it retains emotions just like a human.

It has a unique style on the animation during it's time in 1995, influencing the hit movie "The Matrix".
