Mamoru Oshii read GHOST IN THE SHELL over 20 times before he could direct It

If even Oshii found the manga grueling to read I guess I don’t feel so bad lmao

[@swaggghili6568]

I'm reading it now as my first manga. I was beginning to think this comes with the territory. So many organizations and political references! I have to keep a journal!

[@gateauxq4604]

Shirow puts reference notes in the books but keeping a journal-still a good idea!

[@leggocrewtv2052]

dude... no joke Oshii clothing style is on point(!)

[@NomadFlow]

Please post the whole interview.

[@deezee2965]

When is he gonna make the 3rd movie? Do it man!

[@arcane_whim]

give man $100 million and he will do it (2nd movie budget was 20 million back in 2004)

[@matthewbrookeart]

10 months !? incredible man i bet they hardly slept

[@n3crowarlvck]

Oshii sensei was a visionary in his directing with all the projects he’s done. GITS was so groundbreaking in not only animation but in cyberpunk storytelling since blade runner.

Master Oshii :D

[@binitrupakheti4246]

😮😮😮😮

[@adrianchavarriaguzma]

Genius

[@omnifake3339]

ofcourse he did

[@nicholasnajibi3082]

Hmmmmm no money? no time? So let’s make a ghost in the shell movie!? That’s a recipe for disaster and oshii should’ve known better. And him Thinking the first objective in making the film was to dumb it down and simplify the story is the last thing a ghost fan wants to hear. I have now learned why the movie turned out the way it did. Extremely Disappointed That this film wasn’t the product of a labor of love but a product of no time nor money.

[@thegrimyeaper]

Pretty sure you're thinking about the wrong movie here.

[@nicholasnajibi3082]

thegrimyeaper we are talking about ghost in the shell live action I believe... if you don’t agree just say you don’t agree. Life is only as hard as you’re making it, kid.

[@thegrimyeaper]

@@nicholasnajibi3082 The live action movie had a 110 million dollar budget that was in preproduction for about six years. Can you blame me for thinking you were talking about something else?

[@nicholasnajibi3082]

thegrimyeaper Ye’s because these days you should notice that in film bigger budget and a bigger wallet does not mean better quality. I’d rather have the film than not...don’t get me wrong but I’d be lying to myself if I told you I wasn’t expecting more.
