Spotlight Manga: Ghost in the Shell MAL Manga Information Page: Ghost in the Shell MAL Score - 8.35 (by 2441 users) Ranked - #278 Popularity - #483 Original Spotlight thread: Ghost in the Shell For the next two weeks I would like to have a discussion about the manga that focuses on the key elements that we here on MAL use to critically rate a manga: Art, Characters, Story, and Enjoyment. I would like everyone to approach this thread as if you were going to write a review and structure your initial post like this: Art - insert rating Characters - insert rating Story - insert rating Enjoyment - insert rating Art - discuss any pros and cons of the art styling used in the series, try to include some specifics. Character - describe any of the things you liked or didn't care for in regards to specific characters in the series etc... If you are having trouble writing up a review or coming up with specific pros and cons, please don't worry. Just do the best you can with it and if you can only write two or three sentences about any of the 4 elements then that's OK. Not everyone here is currently at a level which will allow them to articulate their thoughts and opinions. After your initial post is made you can feel free to civilly discuss issues of contention. I am sure there will be many opinions expressed here that some of us will disagree upon and criticise and it is for that reason that this entire club exists. So I hope everyone has fun and I am really looking forward to seeing how this discussion will develop.

| You do not beg the sun for mercy. |
| Easily the weakest link out of all the GitS canons - it's dull and overly wordy, a sharp contrast to how utterly fascinating SAC managed to be despite being just as meaty, and in sharp contrast to how the movie created the same plot using the bare minimum of the manga's dialogue, to far better effect. The art is also quite outdated, in spite of some detailed backgrounds. It's been a while since I've read it, though, so take that with a pinch of salt. Since it's all of one volume, though, I may just re-read it. |
| The less Masamune in GITS the better. So I agree with the above. The film is better, and the film holds nothing on the [first] series. SSC is about on par with the first movie, too. |
