I have a tattoo of Kusanagi on my arm. I wish I could afford time/$ to watch more serials, but I have seen mostly everything, and own all the manga.</p><p>My personal opinion is that there are several different treatments of Motoko across the GitS universe. This is but one of them.</p><p>I think a mistake people make in this argument is the false floor of authenticity. I wasn't looking for a remake of the anime, it is another interpretation of the story, so I have the time of my life watching it. It's Matrix meets Masamune and I just let myself enjoy the easter eggs and really nice scene mirrors that show up.</p><p>Otherwise, Johansson is her own Major. The shell is insignificant. That's one of the things the anime actually does way better, especially in how it ends, is bring that idea across (among many other deeper themes that you just cannot smash into an American movie with a superhero star).</p><p><a href="https://c.im/tags/GhostInTheShell" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GhostInTheShell</span></a> <a href="https://c.im/tags/MasamuneShiro" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>MasamuneShiro</span></a></p>
