The Anime Nostalgia Podcast ep 07

 



Just in time for Halloween, this episode is all about
Ghost in the Shell!...ok, so Ghost in the
Shell has little to do with Ghosts (or Shells!) But in this
episode, returning guest NewtypeLady (who you might remember from
my Gundam episode not too long ago) & I talk about the legacy
of Masamune Shirow's 80s cyberpunk classic, and the many
incarnations of it and The Major. Listen as we talk about
philosophy, Mamoru Oshii's dog, and what a surprisingly great
role-model Major Motoko Kusanagi is for women & cyborgs
everywhere.
