- This is the montage sequence from Mamoru Oshii's 1995 film, "Ghost in the Shell". I decided to upload it because I haven't seen it on TH-cam yet, much less in 1080p.
This montage is my favorite part of any movie I have ever seen up to this point in my life, and I feel like that's saying a lot for me. It is very powerful and awe-inspiring.
Fun fact: The file I had for the film was in .mkv, and I couldn't edit that easily, so I actually recorded this clip with Fraps in VLC player, and edited the 3 .avi files it produced. Notice the quality did not suffer. :) - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
old school japanese background painters were true artists. I have never see something better in western animation.
You know that matte painting backgrounds were mastered in the west right
This is actually a real place called Hong Kong and the city really looks like this in 1960s.
Old school were great maybe you should check out the "Spider-Man Into the Spiderverse"
Nothing in modern anime too. Characters without noses and big eyes looking like a Disney characters. 80s 90s is when Anime peaked.
American Cartoons in 1930s are very good. Also, Soviet era animations are true high class Art.
When you need no dialogues, or even real actors to express complex ideas and deep feelings, then you realize how genius was Oshii back in 1995 and what a master pieces is Ghost in the shell.
Not exactly. These scene hits the hardest when it has character context. Don't mistake slowing down the pacing for an alternative to traditional narritive
It was influenced by blade runner
All the people here struggle too much to admit this is true art and it’s perfect the way it is. Stop living in the duality that you always need to highlight the mistakes or put it less amazing. Admit it, this is fucking timeless and spiritual. A true work of art that intends to transform the mind
It does well with what it is. It heavily relies on premise and plot, but is a bit cold with characters. I wish the stakes were hire with the ghost hacked humans who lose their identities and memory. It would really punch up the theme consciousness if you could see more of who these people were to create that sense of loss
@@kristinaant9747 No. Blade Runner was inspired by Ghost In The Shell
Ghost in the Shell is the standard of which I judge all anime. One of those most breathtakingly beautiful scenes in film history.
Fallschirmjager if this is the standard no other anime will pass
The most resonate and philosophical at that.
@@user-fs9ko6wg2o That's the point, no other anime shall pass.

These scenes show us an overcrowded city, full of inhabitants but is a sick place, the main feeling we can perceive is the loneliness, also accompanied by one of most wonderful soundtrack ever written for a movie. In my opinion the moment when loneliness is strong is the scene with the dog on the bridge, the dog is the only living being looking at us but at the same time the camera is moving away from it, giving us a strong sense of solitude and abandonment.
Yes. I lived in a citylike environment for close to six years. It was a relief to come home in the evening away from all the dirt. But in a strange way, that environment too touched me. I come back to this montage to relive that part
This anime is inspire from Hong kong
The dog was the only one capable to open his mind to new stimulus. It welcomed you without any thought. Pure loving souls.
Nah, it is clearly about identity. What is our identity when it is formed by some system and do we want to continue in the molding process.
I on the other hand sees the city as a constructed organism (although the plane passing over made me think of reefs), the people and movements as cells or streams, the waterways as arteries.
I don't get the feeling of loneliness when seeing this scene, what I was thinking of were parallells.
That feel when the golden era of anime is over.
Nonsense, the real golden era is the modern trend of anime's based in high schools featuring an awkward male main protagonist and his struggle to thrive in a school full of large breasted female peers.
/s
I have those same feels
at least we have fan service
Has been for almost 20 years...
What you mean you don't like moe moe kawaii girls and big bewbs!?
The shot where Kusanagi sees herself in the restaurant is Phillip K Dick, Blade Runner, level brilliant.
But what does it mean? I feel stupid, but I wanna understand what they mean by that shot.
@@writershard5065 Kusanagi uses a standard chassis (i.e. her body is standard looking because as a special agent she is not supposed to stand out). In this scene she notices another person using the same chassis. In the whole montage you can see other elements that play into the theme of the body being just another commodity. Theres a sign at 2:52 promising "lifelike performance", propably advertising human dolls, in 1:52 you see fashion dummies in a shop display . At 3:20 you see fashion dummies without clothes and the difference is clear. With clothes they look likelike, without clothes they all look the same and definitely not lifelike. This is a clear parallel to Kusanagi and her chassis - the body is generic, you have to add something to distinguish it from all the other same looking chassis.
@@TheMovingEye She is in a multiple million dollar body. Supposedly unique but average looking. That is why she is so startled. I took it to mean the puppet master is messing with her.
@@rutabagasteu That's what he means by the chassis being the same. You can change all you want under the hood of a car but if you don't change the body panels it's still going to look just like every other car of the same make and model.
That being said, I always took it as meaning that the Major's body is entirely off-the-shelf standard and that the only thing unique about her is her mind. Thus playing into the idea of a future where people are defined by what's in their brains, not by how they are "built".
@@siefer117 Exactly, the complete opposite of what's happening today lol
3 minutes and 30 seconds without a single word spoken by any character and it still communicates more than a million TV shows and animes say in their entire run time. This is real art. Human souls communicating through moving pictures and sound, not language.
Show, don't tell.
This scene is so iconic, it's like you are questioning yourself along with her. No words needed
Almost 20 years old. Amazing
Almost 25 years old. Amazing

Almost 30 years old, GODDAMN
25 years old
GitS will celebrate it's 27th birthday in November, 2022.
The thing that still strikes me the most, the level of detail is just insane.
I remember watching Ghost In A Shell for the first time. I was already thoroughly enjoying it when this sequence came along and blew me away.
I was 14 20 years ago when i saw this and it blew me away just like Akira.
Seen Akira?
***** - Yep, I have Akira. Another one of my favorites.
GTwo
Seen Ninja Scroll, Wicked City, Vampire Hunter D 1 and 2, Metropolis, The Last Unicorn, Fist of the north star, Golgo 13 The Professional etc.? other fine anime
Le reddit armie has arrived XDDDDDDD
LE ANIME WAS LE BETTER IN LE GOLDEN LE AGE
As a moderator of r/anime, I can tell you that this was the golden age of anime.
Metropolis is a truly magical movie on a very similar level to Ghost in the Shell
The atmosphere feels like I’m there, experiencing the same questions and ideas that kusunagi is asking. The art alone feels so realistic that I can imagine myself walking those streets, seeing what others see. Truly a one of a kind scene.
One of the best sequences in Anime history brings out different emotions
One of the best sequences in Movies history my friend. Such Masterpiece
Whenever anyone tells you
"Anime was a mistake"?
This is the one counter-argument you have.
+InnerPartisan I thought Anno and Miyazaki said that was a joke!
What about Akira and Ninja Scroll?
Its called modern anime, pre-2000s anime had shown some golden animation masterpieces.
TheGamerXU
What about Ghibli, Vampire Hunter D Bloodlust, Metropolis and Cowboy Bebop The Movie and Girl who Lept Through Time and Ghost in The Shell 2?
Johnlindsey289 I get what you say, but they are nowhere near as complicated as GitS, at least from a philosophycal and social standpoint, not even Miyazaki's ones - which has a completely different approaches to stories than Oshii, which is why Oshii doesn't like Miyazaki
not even GitS 2, but you can see how someother things Oshii made (like Patlabor 2 or Jin-Roh) are much more "deep"
also this scene is a perfect example of how they are actually narrating something of the psychology of Motoko without even a fuckin' word, which is storytelling at his finest
The part of the song at 1:34 always strikes such a deeply resonant spiritual chord within me... Always brings tears to my eyes, without fail. There's such a loneliness to it that I think everyone can relate to at an intrinsic level. We are all ultimately alone.
Reminds me of scarface
It borrows the theme from "Floating Museum," the song that plays during Major Kusanagi's fight with the spider tank near the end of the movie. It's truly a reflective piece that hints to the self-reflective nature of transcendence and evolution that follows the spider-tank encounter.
th-cam.com/video/S9579XgUUds/w-d-xo.html&ab_channel=GhostInTheShellOST
Reminds me a bit of Donkey Kong Country 2 Soundtrack "Forest Interlude"
I think this is when the 90s starts to fade- going to the post 9-11 of 2000s the beautiful imagination and vision of a positive and forward look of the future starts to decompose. As being shown in the story telling and art in this anime. Its surprisingly haunting all the time
The fact that Kusanagi’s shell is something mass produced imparts this mysterious vibe that absolutely haunts. Her very essence resounds in important ways, but her outward appearance proliferates almost belying the depths of her and their ghosts.
Imagine a world where our bodies are bought off the rack with a set number of predetermined faces
Nobody would look like their parents. Indeed, dna itself would be redundant to either be non-existent or worthless
Everywhere you look in a crowded city you see thousands of you
30年前に行った香港のそのままで、不安なのに引き付けられる 不老感とモダンなのに貧困感がいりじまって何度もみいっていまいます
The details and the attention given to the background is otherworldly, ethereal..
What an incredible experience
Idk why but in my first viewing I kinda teared up during this scene. Something about the soundtrack and how the city seems so full but empty at the same time
Exactly. City so full but as an indivixual u may find it lonely longing after your loved ones
I bet not even 20% of the atmosphere will be accomplished in the new Ghost in the Shell movie.
I'm not sure about that. From the little snippets I have seen so far, they seem to be pretty on point in regards to the type casting. Interiors seem to have been done very well also. The outside, we will have to wait. Overall we might be pleasantly surprised yet.
Animation vs live action...it's apples to oranges, I'm so fucking sick of you negative Nancies
well, skepticism towards live-action adaptations of mango and animu is based upon the massive representation of the failed latter. (with some great exceptions, such as Edge of Tomorrow - adaptation of the "All you need is kill" manga)
I agree though, that new GITS movie seems steady in the spirit of the original, now it's all up to the execution. I'm afraid there will be a lack of thick political fiction layer in the plot, or could be reduced to mere premise. I liked how the original acheived fragile balance between political fiction, technical and existential aspects, dillemas and emerging philosophies from the near future (which I think is the definition of the true cyberpunk genre). Live action seems to be more on the philosopical, existential side, but we'll see.
Also, the atmosphere to which Retromind refers is one-of-its-kind Mamoru Oshii's vision of the GITS. Anime universe also comprises of 2 seasons of SAC series, few films and Arise OVA prequels, which are ringing the different notes, and deepening the lore significantly as compared to the 1995 film. And I think this is important beacuse to me, the GITS world is as important as the characters populating it.
I hope the film will be a success and will get a chance to get a continuation and unfold in a longer, but suitable format of for example 10 1-hour episodes, and that the GITS will finally get the wide recognition and critical acclaim it deserves.
I watched last night and i can say what was 70-80% percent, way better than i expected!!
im obssessed with GITS and I think the movie was way above my expectations. =) pretty convincing at the very least.
can't believe that released in 90's.
Anime like this is a lost art.
this scene alone shows that GitS is one of the best looking anime works of all time. it's a true work of art, sad that 20 years later anime can't even touch it in terms of visuals.
I'm kinda late, but a scene from made in abyss actually has a good sequence. The sunrise scene is breathtaking.
For me, Ghost in the Shell 95 is the greatest piece of anime to ever be created. There are others in the same realm in terms of art style but this is the one for me. The art, the score, the story, and the complex questions and views of what consciousness even means just edge this one to the top for me. Truly a masterpiece of art. Shame almost 30 years later and we cant even come close to recreating something like this.
Despite being set in Japan, that is undeniably Hong Kong (Oshii even admitted that Hong Kong was the main basis for the aesthetics of Niihama). The real life city that also most perfectly embodies the film's themes.
@@benpodvia5744 No it takes place in New Port City aka Niihama. In the intro of the movie they literally say it.
The first time I saw this, I could not get over the the rain effects starting at 1:58.
this song is haunting
Can you believe it's a wedding song haha.
Sometimes I will rewatch this scene to remind myself how amazing this film is. My conclusion......how could I doubt such an incredible and beautiful piece of art!
this is THE scene for me!
the philosophical implication of AI becoming sentient is what makes Ghost in the Shell an amazing story PLUS Being animated in the 90s when Anime was still awesome. I love this scene but my favorite piece of music in life is on this soundtrack. Nightstalker.
Probably one, or the most, amazing scene in the history of animation.
Still one of the most haunting bits of film I've ever watched.
There is heavy symbolism with reflections in this scene, be it the water or the glass. Takes you back to the scene just before this where she says "its like looking at yourself in the mirror". This scene explores her feelings of identify and her place in this world
This is easily one of my favorite scenes from any movie ever. The little yellow umbrellas will forever be burned in my brain
Mamoru Oshii's entire work is a visual gem, he gave us the best anime films, my favorite will always be Beutiful Dreamer (Urusey Yatzura)
I don’t remember this show being this beautiful. It’s been maybe 20 years and seeing this makes me want to re visit it.
Such a great song. So strange and yet so pretty. Such a great scene. Something western film makers dont understand, sometimes you need to let the movie breath.
fuckin 25 years later and literally nobody has even come close to drawing such incredible anime, let alone writing such a complex and powerful story that is only MORE relevant today than ever before...
@@LunarPenguin42 ...
There definitely have been better drawn and animated anime movies and anime series than this both older and newer, both in similar art style and modern. You are just plain wrong.

@@nunsense9489 lmao. You are blind as hell buddy and haven't seen nearly as many anime as me. It shows, and I don't need to waste my time providing examples.
@@SahilP2648 can you drop some names? actually curious and interested to see what new animes are on this caliber
The attention to detail in the artwork is masterful, crazy this is 25 years old now
this is pure magic. it is. one of the greatest sequences in cinema history
No matter how many times I watch this movie I never cease to be amazed by its beauty and depth.
More feeling in 3 and a half minutes, and with no words, compared to most full-length movies.
No other version can be as good as this original one.
how the hell does someone get so good at drawing that they make something like this????? i can't fathom the man hours this sequence alone must have taken
That whole sequence is just perfect in every single way. Mesmerises me every time.
Why am I always crying while watching it?
Thank you man, I never thought I would find this on TH-cam, my favorite sequence of the movie I think
just saw this film in my sci fi class and wanted to relive this particularly vivid sequence. thank you thank you. this is way beautiful.
every time i hear this it gives me chills, true masterpiece beyond space& time
This place exists. It's called Hong Kong
not yet... it still needs a hundred years
@@adelvoid1530 The scenes are mostly in the old part of the town and it looks exactly like how it was in Hong Kong 20 or 30 years ago.
Or Tokyo
@@adelvoid1530
not yet? It is Hong Kong's neon signboard

@randomguy8196 i think its actually central of hong kong. search up hollywood road of hong kong, it looks exactly the same as 2:37 even to this day
This captures my sprit perfectly thanks for sharing one of the most profound moments in anime history
There is such a deep and profound humanity to this sequence. That perfectly grimy, gritty 90s anime feeling and the wordless emotion combine to make this movie the singular masterpiece that it is, resonant for all time.
watching this film for the first time 17 years ago this montage really stuck with me. really beautiful.
This is the best piece of animation I have ever seen.
This is one of the best sequences I have seen in any film. Incredible.
i love this freaking scene it will stick in my memory forever, the song and detailed city are something unique
the background, vehicle, people and overall details is just outstanding
A quarter century has passed but the visuals haven't aged in the slightest.
Remarkable production quality.
Absolutely stunning composition. I come back to this sequence in times of confusion, sadness, perplexation. I can't help but see the similarities in the landscape of New Port City and Vancouver. A class system split so deeply that it almost feels other worldly at times. With massive structures there to make you feel like you're part of something so much bigger, but also so insignificant. If anyone is going through a tough time, just know that it will pass. eventually all does.
What an animation..... Appreciate everyone behind this anime... it takes lot of effort to complete each movement in a piece of paper... Awesome and unbelievable......
Afterall its a bad sequel but this film won several awards for its visual aesthetics at that time in 2004-2005
90s anime will always be the best of the entire history and generation.
One of the most sublime moments in movies
Thank you for uploading this. I watched this gem of an anime back in 2004, but I didn't appreciate the slow atmospheric sequences like this. I was too hyped up on action sequences since I was 20 years old at the time. This one scene still stuck with me over the years, especially the parts where it's raining. Since I was in the Navy, and deployed out into the Asian and Persian Gulf theaters, I was able to visit Japan, Hong Kong, and Singapore first hand. Sasebo, Japan wasn't like this, but some older apartment buildings in Hong Kong did match New Port City's aesthetic and architecture, while Singapore had this building that was like a technology mall, selling between cheap and somewhat high-end products at the time. I also can remember just how hot and humid places like that can be. Seeing this scene again helps me remember the sights, the feels, and even the smells of those far-off places.
Amazing. just amazing how sound and animation create an unbelievable feeling
Every few months I watch this, to remember what art could and should be.
i just watched ghost in the shell again and had forgotten about this scene. It had me truly and utterly transfixed and then I was dreaming about it again that night. powerful stuff
Thank you for uploading! I didn't think I'd be able to find this.
Watched this scene for the first time a good 15 years ago. I've been chasing that high ever since.
Nice work! One of the best cyberpunk films ever. I get chills everytime Kusanagi sees the double at 60 seconds.
Recommend me another cyberpunk film
. . . love THIS soooo much ❤🤍❤🤍 greatest artwork in audio&video ❤🤍
I was lucky to see this movie on release in the cinema. It was epic.
Thanks for Uploading it :)
This is amazing, thank you for this.
Best of all...man it still gives me chills.
Watching this scene (and the whole movie, for that matter) while high is an incredible experience.
Thanks so much for the upload in HD! (=
I watched the anime long time ago but I just finished watching this movie and I got to say this was the most beautiful animation that I've ever seen and actually It brought tears to me eyes
2018 and this sequence is still amazing
This is absolutely ground breaking, Wow.
Looks exactly like Hong Kong in the 80's.
What a masterpiece.
0:57 she sees someone who looks like her with kind of hammers home the idea that she is questioning her identity, this moment is pretty powerful. whats funny is it wouldn't work with a lot of lower quality anime because all the women look the same . sometimes they have different hair colors and styles but a lot of times thats it. generic character design is a issue a lot of anime suffers from that ghost in the shell doesn't have
so true!
i love this so much. thank you
This scene with this eerie music is one my all time favourite things and I don't know why
Absolutely superb.
This is the best sequence in the entire film. Every single frame of this feels like a real place, lived-in. I've watched it more frequently than I've seen the full film. It's incredible.
Hypnotic memories of the future.
Gives me goosebumps every time I see it. Brilliant
This scene as well as the music is perfect when you're having a deep existential crisis
Undoubtedly the most amazing scene in animé history...
why do i cry every time i see this video.
The animation in this sequence is still unmatched to this day!
A flowing picture of city life. It's as if time stops no matter how high or low you are.
The Major looks like she's showing her Achilles' heel - a boatload of doubt about who/what she is. It makes one wish to say, "Maj. Kusanagi, you are you"..
I love ghost the complexity of the stories and the anime is just awesome!!! I wish there was a lot more of it.
Damn every scene is a masterpiece
Wow! I just watched Oshii explain how Blade Runner was a big influence to him and this clip shows that very well.
The masterpiece of a bygone era
Thanks for this!
This gave me chills
