I watched Ghost In The Shell last night. Didn’t really enjoy it. Some pretty visuals but I found I had no reason to care for most of it. It was just a bunch of scenes up until quite late in the film when the story kind of kicks in. So I didn’t really engage with it.
Even with the pretty visuals, I thought they did a really bad job at making the place feel in any way real. Backgrounds were like theatre sets, just a backdrop rather than ever selling the idea that this is a populated city where people go about their lives. I didn’t buy it.
Now I’m wondering if the anime just blinded me with its gorgeous looks and I’d feel the same about the story in that too.
