Professor Siracusa’s Anime 102 is in session! This week we’re discussing the 1995 anime classic “Ghost in the Shell” and touching on its follow-up TV series, “Stand Alone Complex.” This is a cyberpunky action story about cyborgs and the meaning of life, and it’s full of guns, car chases, ninjas, weird outfits, and exposition.

Spoiler notes; You should see “Ghost in the Shell” before listening. You don’t need to watch all the TV spin-offs, because while we touch on them, there aren’t really any spoilers for the TV series.
