KnockBack, Episode 213: Ghost in the Shell (1995 film)
Added 2022-03-07 17:00:08 +0000 UTCWhile Ghost in the Shell began its life as a manga in the late '80s, the 1995 animated feature film that interpreted its story is what most people are familiar with. Created by renowned artist and writer Masamune Shirow and brought to the big screen by Mamoru Oshii, Ghost in the Shell deals with surprisingly heady subject matter: Science, politics, philosophy, and morality, amongst many other themes. The future world of cyborgs and humans envisioned in this work isn't too far off the mark, either, particularly when compared to other works of cyberpunk that are much more fanciful and overtly fictional in their approach. Overall, this is perhaps what makes Ghost in the Shell so notable to so many. It feels alive and true-to-form. And it's certainly worth a deep dive right here on KnockBack.

Maruchan Creamy Chicken is pretty good. I have to eat it in a modified way to prevent high blood pressure though. I drain the water off after cooking, then I put about 1/4th of a packet of powder on as I stir the noodles instead of the entire thing. That brings it down into the realm of sanity for salt levels, but the flavor you get is more concentrated rather than getting diluted in the broth. (A single flavor packet is over half of the sodium content I can have in a day.)

2022-03-10 23:04:34 +0000 UTCI'm hard of hearing so I watch everything with subtitles. I do like watching english dubs with anime. The problem Colin mentioned with the subtitles being different than the English dialog is a problem I've run into many times. I have no idea why but the anime industry seems to never have an option available that allows english audio and subtitles to match the english dialog. It's infuriating.
