![]() ![]() Similarly, the music is not as excellent as hoped. On the other hand, while the character designs are fresh and new, they could be viewed as dubious alterations by older fans. Likewise, the aesthetics generally illustrate appealing appearances. On one hand, the action scenes are all fluid and splendidly done. Unfortunately, the said deliverance is occasionally soiled by the inclusion of one-dimensional villains, whose actions conveniently fit as plot devices where needed.īy and large, the animation is pleasing to look at. For an introductory plot, Arise made a first-rate effort of delivering the story in a simplistic yet appropriately mystical pattern. Motoko slowly re-encounters and stumbles upon many future members of the soon-to-be Section 9, and their relationships remain underdeveloped yet still sturdy. The conflict is weakened in the process due to the simple mistake of a rushed pacing, leaving us with a shallow sense of suspense during the latter parts of the movie.ĭespite the contestable issues with the pacing, the essence of the character dynamics hasn't lost its touch in this movie. In the case of Border: 1 Ghost Pain, this is especially true, as the riddle is unraveled in a predictable succession of preface, hinting of a villain, uncertainty, and then a final battle with said villain. However, the nature of the Arise series being separated into 50 minute entries very much limits the extent of the storytelling. The beginning of the movie arouses a sense of confusion (in a good way) and easily attracts the audience's attention. While murky at times, the enigmatic nature of the movie allows for the truth of Motoko's conviction to surface in a tangible fashion. In the event of Border: 1 Ghost Pain there is an alleged conviction that Motoko is the culprit of a murder case, and Motoko must confront herself in the midst of confusions to clear up her name.Ĭonsistently incorporated throughout the movie, Arise's ambiguity is the foothold for its mysterious components. Arise is very much focused on Motoko herself, rather than the broader social scope. In many respects, the premise of a cybernetic hacker is redolent of the original Ghost in the Shell movie, though the unsettling atmosphere is construed and explained in a very different manner. In its entire run, only bits of backstories about the characters are scattered throughout, and Motoko’s relationships with the rest of Section 9 are not specified until the second season of the Stand Alone Complex.Īrise however, gives very little in the way of answers for the amount of questions that it brings to the table. an elaborate piece comprised of intelligent crime cases that tackle thought-provoking issues, the cast remains enigmatic as a whole. But perhaps in an ironic way, it is essentially the introduction for the franchise. ![]() With that said, Ghost in the Shell: Arise is a series that needs no introduction. However, it was Kamiyama Kenji’s Stand Alone Complex iteration of the series that helped further the franchise's reputation as a result of its superb action scenes, script, and sophistication. Over time, Oshii’s adroit directing influenced a multitude of many abstract ideas, both ambitious and creative. Bold and cryptic, the original Ghost in the Shell movie (1995) is considered by many fans to be the apex of sci-fi anime within its decade. ![]()
