Anime is still on the mind as we delve deep into the landmark anime film Ghost in the Shell. This highly recognized and very influential movie was a pioneer not only in anime but also in the cyberpunk genre. Does its legendary status hold up under scrutiny? The Animind group examines the various philosophical themes of this complex story to see. Whether you are just dipping your toes into the anime waters or have been diving into the deep end for decades come to join us for this lively discussion. If you haven't seen Ghost in the Shell there are spoilers about the ending discussed but there is a fair warning given. There is also some mildly explicit topics examined, as well.
