Note: Scenes which are only a few frames shorter will not be mentioned here. Some of the dialog was modernized during the process, the Puppet Master now also has a female voice.įollowing are a few pictures from both versions for comparison:Ĭompared here are the 1995 Theatrical Version and the "Ghost in the Shell 2.0" Version of 2008, both taken from the DVD by Manga Entertainment. The complete audio track was newly recorded and mixed in 6.1 surround. This can especially be seen during the opening sequence. Selected scenes were replaced by computer animations that remind of the sequel. Scenes which were rather green before now have an orange feel to it. The movie material was digitally redone and many color filters were applied. "Ghost in the Shell 2.0" is a revised version of the original movie and should not be confused with the sequel "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence". The movie was internationally commended and is supposed to have been used as inspiration for "The Matrix". Families again."Ghost in the Shell" ist an anime many only know because of the music video for Wamdue Project's "King of My Castle", however, it really is an anime adaptation of the manga with the same name by Maamune Shirow. Seems like quite a great way to get families to start talking and becoming. But one of the themes of the show is that the people that you spend time with will become your family.
Hence families would start talking and spending time with one another, even if for just a little bit. The show was emotional enough that most people would be open to talk about it, and share their view. So if this show was to be watched by a family, there could be as many as 5 or 6 different interpretations of what happened. Not only that, but the ending gives so much room for theories and different conclusions that it seems outrageous. It is an enjoyable show that anybody can watch. There are plenty of lessons for every age of the family, but this show does not just give lessons. So, maybe the point of this show and the wacky ending is simply a meta theme to bring families together. The truest meaning of family is that they are always there and Clannad shows that very well.īut if that isn't enough of an explanation, than maybe this can persuade you to look at this a different way.Ĭlannad is a show that is CLEARLY children friendly (it goes way out of its way to be g-rated and shows that love can be expressed without a physically orientated relationship). Even though it was terrible and heart wrenching, he once again will have to rely on his family and look to them for the strength that he needs. The ending might make a little more sense when you look at it from that perspective. It's strength lies in the fact that it can thrive in pain and even make good things come out of this heartache. But we learn that they did, and in fact it ends up being the oldest and wisest people in his family that finally make him see the real meaning and strength of family. Many people have questioned why we never see his family come and help him to when these terrible things happen (especially in 5 years). We see him and his family go through trials and tribulations that would (and does) make grown men cry. We see him learning about the strength of a family. While he is starting his new family, on two separate occasions he learns that his old family never really leaves him and will continue to be there for the important times. His friends all leave him and he has to start all over. In fact, it completely shifts.Īfter the drama club has ended, Okazaki still continues adding friends to his family, but this time he has no perogative to do so. The most amazing part about Clannad though, is that it doesn't stop there. He learns that family can be found in friendship.
If you look at it from the perspective of the viewer, it appears as though he has found his family. He realizes what friendship truly is and how it is meaningful. He helps his friends through their problems and they help him change to become a person with an understanding of life. Thanks to an added perogative of starting a drama club, he now has to find new people to share his life with and starts to realize the closer that you let friends in, the more important that they become.
