In a rare interview, Masamune Shirow —creator of Ghost in the Shell —surprisingly revealed that he prefers the second film, Innocence Mamoru Oshii 's unique style , something Shirow deeply admires.
During the conversation, the author also revealed that he had written several unpublished proposals for manga , anime , and even games. However, these projects encountered production obstacles, preventing them from coming to fruition. Shirow didn't elaborate on the specific obstacles, but made it clear that his creative involvement remains active.
He also took the opportunity to clarify an important point. In the postscript to volume 26 of Pandora in the Crimson Shell, Shirow stated that he is not involved with the new Ghost in the Shell anime being produced by Science Saru—information that took many fans by surprise.
Despite the challenges, the mind behind one of cyberpunk's greatest works continues to produce and develop new stories. Shirow fans still have much to look forward to in the future.
