Podcasts about oshii

In celebration of Pride month, we take a somewhat unusual look at Oshii Mamoru's Ghost in the Shell as an allegory of trans becoming. We look at how trans individuals have read the film against their own experiences and how this highlights a queerness in Kusanagi's character that Oshii likely never intended yet is still palpably there.

Cyborg Awakening: Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell From time to time this podcast allows Mr. Chavez & Myself the opportunity to explore new genre's. With the encouragement and recommendations of WatchThis listeners, we have had the opportunity to engage in new experiences a number of times. Some of these new viewings have been from The World of Japanese Anime (Thank You, Mr. Burroughs!). This week we dive into one of the very best, Mamoru Oshii's 1995 dystopian masterpiece Ghost in the Shell. It is rare that a film is able to deliver on so many different levels (entertaining/exciting - insightful/thought-provoking), but this is precisely what Oshii's film does. What could have been a simple and obvious look into a bleak and misery-infused Science-Fiction future is, rather, an insightful and compelling examination of Artificial Intelligence, The Soul . . . its relation to the species and culture, and intellectual and emotional awareness. This is an incredible film that mixes Fritz Lang, Blade Runner, martial-arts & gun-play, and the police procedural to examine grand existential questions. Take a listen as we continue diving deeper and deeper into the world of AI and its promises, hopes, and threats for the future. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com - Many Thanks.  For those of you who would like to donate to this undying labor of love, you can do so with a contribution at https://www.buymeacoffee.com/watchrickramos - Anything and Everything is appreciated, You Cheap Bastards.

Welcome to Mona Lisa Overpod, the show that asks the question "What is cyberpunk?" On each episode, hosts Ka1iban and author Lyda Morehouse dive into the genre that helped define sci-fi fiction in '80s and they break down its themes which remain relevant to our lives in the 21st century. Pull on your mirrorshades, jack into the matrix, and start your run with us today!It's one of the most recognizable properties in cyberpunk media, a franchise that blew down the doors between Japan and America and helped popularize manga and anime in the West. It presents a world of cyborg agents using future technology to fight against villains both foreign and domestic, but it also explores the existential issues raised by the interchangeability of data and the mind. And in 1995, director Mamoru Oshii directed the franchise's first ground-breaking feature film, Ghost in the Shell.In this episode, we discuss the phenomenon of Ghost in the shell as a franchise, the instant-classic status of Oshii's film, the role of the mind in identity, the personhood of cyborgs and AI, the cyborg spectre of Cartesian doubt, the film's religious symbolism, its Bergmanesque trappings, its innate appeal to American audiences, and what it will take for GITS to evolve as a franchise. We also talk about Snow Crash parody apologism, explosions plus philosophy times boobs, telepathy powers, the film's preponderance of high beams, getting express consent before merging, trans-humanism, going weird, and Surf Draculas!What are the two helicopters?Join Kaliban on Twitch weekdays at 12pm for the Cyber Lunch Hour!http://twitch.tv/justenoughtropePut Just Enough Trope merch on your body!http://justenoughtrope.threadless.comMLOP is a part of the Just Enough Trope podcast network.

"Ghost in the Shell," an iconic tale of cybernetic evolution and identity, first materialized as a groundbreaking 1995 animated film, directed by Mamoru Oshii. Adapted from Masamune Shirow's manga, the film is a Japanese-British international co-production, visually melding traditional cel animation with CGI. Its narrative unfolds in 2029 Japan, focusing on Major Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg public-security agent on the hunt for an enigmatic hacker known as the Puppet Master. The film interweaves profound philosophical themes about self-identity in an age where technology blurs the lines between human and machine.

In this episode, we wrap up our series on non-horror Science-Fiction by examining another staple concept of the genre: virtual reality. Join us as we check out Dustin's pick Avalon from 2001, a Japanese-Polish coproduction directed by Mamoru Oshii. Dustin heaps praise upon the film while also giving a detailed account of both Oshii's history and his directorial style. Meanwhile, Jason offers a powerfully contrasting viewpoint after finding himself put off by the film at nearly every level. But before all that, the show almost immediately comes to a grinding halt as the hosts find themselves face to face with stunning news of a revival for the Return of the Living Dead franchise.

Pour préparer la sortie d'Avatar II, nous analysons le premier épisode de James Cameron avec David Fakrikian, auteur de James Cameron, l'Odyssée d'un cinéaste  ! Un film mal aimé ?  Succès colossal en 2009 (presque 3 milliards de dollars de recettes), Avatar de James Cameron devrait faire son grand retour avec 4 prochains films pendant toute la décennie 2020. Malgré une qualité technique et visuelle indéniable, le long-métrage reste rarement cité dans les plus grands films de science-fiction de sa génération. Son scénario a souvent été jugé simpliste et pas assez méta pour réjouir les spécialistes du genre. Le spectateur a pourtant rarement autant voyagé dans un blockbuster qui révolutionnait la 3D et qui a été à la cause de travaux dans toutes les salles de cinéma de France pour accueillir ce procédé immersif.  On s'interroge avec notre invité sur les raisons de désamour.  Dans son ouvrage  James Cameron, l'Odyssée d'un cinéaste , David Fakrikian écrit : "Dire qu'Avatar est un choc, une experience ultime cinematographique, est un euphemisme. C'est, enfin, apres 12 annees desertiques, le blockbuster americain qui remet les pendules a l'heure. Un film qui touche a l'essence meme du cinema, pour la reinventer. Un film d'une incroyable densité, visuelle et thematique.  Il faut évoquer ici la bicéphalité d'Avatar, un pied dans le futur et un dans le passé, sa perfection visuelle, sublimée par la 3D et son grand classicisme à la fois. Le film résume 100 ans de cinéma américain et international, fusionnant le western classique, la science-fiction, la japanimation ; Ford, Hawks, Delmer, Daves, Miyazaki, Oshii et Terence Malick, dans une enveloppe visuelle totalement neuve. Cameron réinvente son cinéma et le cinéma en général dans une œuvre profondément stupéfiante, qui fait ressembler ces réalisations passées à ce qu'elles sont : des films d'un autre siècle. Pour la première fois, on croit à des êtres en pixels comme s'ils étaient réels et vivants, au point qu'on commence même à douter qu'il s'agisse d'images générées par ordinateur. Dans Avatar, tout semble réel. Plus qu'un film, Avatar est une date, un nouvel événement historique, comme l'a pu l'être, par la force des choses, Titanic. Un événement qui nous permet de retrouver le sentiment que devaient avoir nos arrière-grands-parents, en découvrant le premier film avec du son à l'ère du muet, ou le premier film en scope, ou en couleurs. Au-delà de la réussite visuelle, Avatar est aussi un film humaniste, avec un propos politique plus que jamais d'actualité, qui va générer la controverse, particulièrement aux Etats-Unis, où se mettent aussitôt à fuser des accusations d'anti-américanisme".

Hello darlings! Welcome back to #LumSquad, a podcast hosted by @LumRanmaYasha and @ProdTally devoted to the wonderful and wacky world of Rumiko Takahashi's Urusei Yatsura! It's time for I, I, You, and I to review Urusei Yatsura: Only You! We're so excited to finally have the films streaming on Crunchyroll and coming to blu-ray courtesy of Discotek, and so we'll be periodically interrupting our coverage of the manga to review each movie! And what better occasion to start with than on our 10th episode AND just ahead of the upcoming blu-ray release of Only You coming later this month! We're starting off with the series's first movie, Only You, a much-beloved crowd-pleaser that director Mamoru Oshii was loath to make! While clearly a love letter to the series, do we agree with Oshii that it's more of an extended episode than a “real film?” We discuss the fascinatingly fraught production history of Only You, analyze Elle as a parallel to both Lum and Ataru, describe the multitude of references and callbacks to the series, and evaluate the film's iconic music and far less esteemed english dub! They say a rose by any other name would smell just as sweet, but where does this first feature fall among the other films in the franchise? Only you will find out by listening to our show!

Our cyborg season ends with possibly the most influential cyberpunk manga. One that would inspire the creators of the Matrix movies with its mix of action and Cartesian philosophy. Known by its native title, Koukaku Kidoutai, "Mobile Armored Riot Police" it lives up to both names!  Skip summary @ 13:06 076: Ghost in the Shell By Masamune Shirow English translation by Frederic L Schodt , Toren Smith and Stephen Paul With Lettering by Scott O. Brown Set in the year 2029, the world has advanced in terms of cybernetics, computerization and robotics. This is a possible future where flesh and blood bodies are replaceable and interchangeable, brains can be hacked into, altering memories and nurses are super sexy automatonic dolls, yet in this cyber-punk world exists a government task force known as section 9. A ragtag bunch of military trained agents who fight cyber-terrorism with the help of their spider like tanks, the Fuchikomas and their cyborg Major. Mamoru Oshii would direct the seminal animated movie adaptation. This would be inspired by many chapters more so than others, including the chapters ‘Junk Jungle', ‘Bye Bye Clay' and ‘Ghost Coast'. Where Major Motoko Kusanagi encounters the Puppet master, a hacker that claims to have no corporeal body and is in fact a new conscious life form born from the net. A sequel, Ghost in the Shell: Innocence would base the story on Robot Rondo, where young girls have their consciousness digitally copied and enslaved in the body of robots. Masamune Shiro would continue to write more Ghost in the Shell stories in the tomes ‘Man Machine Interface' and ‘Human Error Processor'. Soon after publication, Ghost in the Shell would become a successful multimedia franchise.   The Problem with Remakes and the Evil Demon of Images: On the podcast James' problem with the 2017 film is how it remakes the 1995 Mamoru Oshii classic. He equates his gripe to the same sort of gripe that Jean Baudrillard does with simulacrum, simulacrum itself isn't just delegated to the issues of Hollywood remakes but everything that encompasses the internet and virtual-reality. It creates a feedback loop with technology and the virtual becoming “more real than real” where people learn about sex not from the real world but from what they see in porn, a glamorous simulation of the real. A digestible if not regurgitated form of that which was once real, original, or authentic. Think of the movie Flash Gordon (1980) How many people have experienced that movie through the lens of another? Ted (2012) specifically? And how many people know that the 80's movie itself was based on a 1930's serial? The result is that we have others relaying their experiences to us and the risk is that it can easily become watered down and devoid of its original meaning if not given a new resonating meaning. Especially when taken outside of its original context or poorly recontextualised. For more you can listen to the Chobits episode where James first speaks of Baudrillard or better yet, read the words of Baudrillard himself.   “Motoko's Choice” - Transhumanism and the Philosophy of Dualism: Renee Decartes Dualism implies that thoughts not only inhabit their own space but can also exist outside from the brain, the “res extensa” as he called it, through Dualism there is the implication that the Puppet Master's Network is multi-dimensional. Currently a digitized earth would not be enough, because the limit of virtual space is real universal space. Shiro doesn't explain that quantum computing exists in this story, neither does aliens or space travel exists (except for travel on the virtual confines of earth's internet), therefore Motoko's net is limited to earth, the res extensa of dualist philosophy. As of 2021, a capitalist world of doge coin, disinformation and non-fungible tokens, Motoko may have a poor deal.  Yet an exception to this is that Decartes' “res cogitans” is as large as all living beings present and future. Motoko could choose to live her life in the dreams and memories of others, she could live as a bat or a cat, especially if said memories and experiences are digitized/quantized or synthesized to future transhumanist ideals, expanding her consciousness, the net and her world, certainly Motoko/Puppeteers children could live like this. Motoko's choice to fuse with the puppeteer could be meaningless as future humans move away from carbon-based life, but one thing for sure is that Motoko will give it meaning. And she will live a meaningful life. Be it within a micro-verse of the res cogitans or macro-verse of the res extensa. “Digitizing yourself isn't growing, it's not a macro way of exploring the universe, it's a micro way. You can't make any more lemonade if you don't have enough lemons for it.” This doesn't mean that Motoko is right or wrong in her choice, especially if she's preparing for an unknown future, in fact this may be a naturally human response when granted such new powers and opportunities.   Further Topics discussed: The pacing of the manga, in terms of action and Shiro's propensity to use annotations (we do and the author recommend you do not read them on your first time). Why is Major Motoko so hard to relate to? The humour of Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, the anime series. Lorn's ‘Anvil' music (an example of transhumanism and the future of social networks) James Cameron's ‘Terminator' franchise and how that also depicts the rise of a formidable and fully conscious Artificial Intelligence.   Facebook - facebook.com/weappreciatemanga/ Instagram –  weappreciatemanga.co.uk   Twitter -   @RealJamesFitton Website – Weappreciatemanga.com Email – Weappreciatemanga@gmail.com

This week, we bring dishonour to our own ancestors by being a week late on our discussion of Gosenzo-sama Banbanzai!, Mamoru Oshii's experimental scifi comedy OVA. There are some unavoidable audio issues for which we apologise. CW: Incest (discussed, not shown) The Anime Research Group is a weekly podcast about all the anime we never got round to watching. Episodes contain spoilers for early episodes of the shows, and ill-informed speculation on future episodes. There are a few instances of cursing. You can find us on twitter @research_anime .

On this episode of the Vintage Anime Club Podcast, we go back to Tomobiki where the local high school is ramping up the hustle and bustle before the school festival tomorrow. Except that it keeps being tomorrow. So join Diana, Ed, Kate, Sam, Dennis, and returning special guest Eron as we discuss Urusei Yatura Movie 2: Beautiful Dreamer, which was released in 1984. The Urashima Taro references are very much at the forefront of this one, along with a few other things that we deep dive into, with some of Oshii's early experimentation with film, if this needed to actually be with Urusei Yatsura characters, inspiration for other films, and the contrast in reception between this versus the first film Only You. Thanks to Eron (@eronrauch) for being a guest, and check out his digital photobook about locations in Yakuza 0 called "Such is the Power of The Empty Lot," available from Heterotopias.

Hot off the success of Ghost in the Shell, famed anime creator Mamoru Oshii returned as writer to finish his trilogy based on his Kerberos Panzer Cop manga. Instead of opting for a third live action installment, he chose breathtaking, realistic animation. Drawing from European folktales and Shakespearean plays, Oshii presents a stark alternate history of WWII Japan where civil war plays out amidst a star-crossed, fateful love story. Unlike Ghost in the Shell, Dragon Ball Z or Akira, not many remember this "lost anime film." 21 years after its release, it has landed on a number of free and premium streaming platforms causing it to gain a new audience. Should this anime stay lost or have we uncovered a forgotten gem? Join Corbin and Allen as they review Jin-Roh: The Wolf Brigade to find out! Join the discussion-Comment below!

On Thursday, July 18th, a devastating fire burned down Kyoto Animation’s 1st Studio Building, claiming the lives of 35 people and hospitalizing 33 more. The human costs of this tragedy are unfathomable and the damage done to the studio is immeasurable. We stand together with KyoAni in their time of need, and want to do our part in spreading the word to fans on how to help the studio and its staff. For our Community Shout-Outs this week, we’ve compiled a list of resources that you can use to donate to the studio and reflections from the fandom that celebrate the legacy of KyoAni, its staff, and their stories. Please take the time to read each of these pieces and, if possible, take part in the efforts to send love KyoAni’s way. Anime Expo was so packed with news and events that it’s taken us a month and two podcasts to cover it all! In this first installment of our AX coverage, we spend over two hours simply discussing all the exciting announcements made at Anime Expo, from long-awaited licensing announcements to new projects by legendary artists like Katsuhiro Otomo and Yoshitaka Amano! Then, we take a trip back in time to share a podcast we recorded pre-AX, discussing our impressions of the then-upcoming convention and what we did on Day 0. This includes VLord’s thoughts on the LA premiere of Detective Conan: Zero the Enforcer and a couple of other panels live-streamed from Petree Hall! If you think this podcast is lengthy, well, just wait until the next episode, where we’ll discuss our entire AX experience in an episode that’s over four hours long!

Masamune Shirow's Ghost in the Shell (1995) is a cyberpunk, anime, masterpiece that questions what makes us human. Is it the body or the soul (our ghosts)? The 2017 live action remake starring Scarlett Johansson, Pilou Asbæk, Takeshi Kitano, Juliette Binoche, and Michael Pitt attempts to expand on this idea. This week Invasion of the Remake explores this high tech world of cyborgs, espionage, and artificial intelligence as we compare the anime to the live action Ghost in the Shell (2017).   Support independent podcasts like ours by telling your friends and family how to find us at places like Apple Podcasts, iTunes, Google Play Music, Stitcher, PlayerFM, Tune In Radio, RadioPublic, BluBrry, Libsyn, YouTube, iHeartRadio and all the best podcast providers.

Your favorite anime podcast crossover is back! We team up again with the Warui Deshou podcast to dissect and gush over Mamoru Oshii and Yoshitaka Amano’s 1985 masterpiece art film, Angel’s Egg. CONTENT WARNING: Discussion of stillbirth, miscarriage, possible anxiety-inducing subjects such as loss of faith. ***The first half is spoiler-free, see timecodes below*** (This episode follows Warui Deshou's format, which uses more clips and sketch segments than we do, so be prepared for intermittent wackiness) ——— We discuss the film’s gorgeous aesthetics, the lives and other works of the principle creatives, their personal relationships to Catholicism and/or faith in general, and try to interpret what is perhaps the most inscrutable anime film ever made. Interpretations provided are our own, and we don’t claim them to be definitive, exclusionary or authoritative in any way. This episode is very personal, we spend a good deal of time talking about our personal histories and feelings about things beyond (but not unrelated) to the anime itself. We also tried to mix it with moments of laughter and some funnier discussions throughout, but we feel the insights and personal discussions in relation to the film proved very worthwhile. This is a long podcast that covers a lot of topics, so please use the timecodes below to jump around in case, say, you already know all about Oshii or haven’t seen Angel’s Egg and don’t want to be spoiled.

Ricardo nos contará algunos detalles sobre la película de Rupert Sanders y nos pondrá en situación con respecto a la película del 95 de Oshii. En el segundo bloque del programa comenzaremos una serie de secciones sobre la Historia del Cine y en esta primera ocasión hablaremos sobre la llegada del cinematógrafo a Japón y la difusión del cine hasta la llegada del sonoro. Y como parte final hablaremos un poco sobre Wong kar wai y de por qué su cine nos gusta tanto. Un programa variado, lleno de buen cine y muchas recomendaciones. Esperemos que lo disfrutéis. A escuchar!

The Filmlosophers, Eddie Villanueva and Chad Riley, welcome back Val Complex and Nerd Reactor's Laura Sirikul back to the round table for week's review of Ghost in the Shell (2017), the controversy-laden anime adaptation directed by Rupert Sanders and starring Scarlett Johansson in the role of an Asian woman who has been transformed into a cyborg and is working for a paramilitary arm of the government. To what extent does the film exemplify the whitewashing of Asian roles in big-budget Hollywood films, and what kind of an effect did the casting decisions have on the film's reception?

This week we read emails, we give manga suggestions, Seamus has mixed feelings about Himegoto - Juukyuusai no Seifuku, darfox might drop Dr. Stone, and dakazu talks about the cut-throat business of weekly manga. Then we get to our main topic of Patlabor 2: The Movie! We compare it to the previous Patlabor movie, look for more Mamoru Oshii-isms, and break down our favorite scenes!!!

On this episode we discuss the upcoming live-action Ghost in the Shell, Seamus finishes March comes in like a lion and now hates Momo, we love looking behind the scenes of creating manga in Naoki Urasawa’s Manben, dakazu is touched by Akiko Higashimura’s loving tribute to her art teacher in Blank Canvas: My So-Called Artist’s Journey(Kakukaku Shikajika), and we weigh in on the Netflix version of Death Note! Then we dive into a lengthy analysis of Patlabor: The Movie and compare it to Mamoru Oshii’s other movies!!!

In 1985, Mamoru Oshii and Yoshitaka Amano, with the help of a seemingly infinite budget, made a haunting and singular video animation feature called ANGEL'S EGG, and this week I made former animephobe Molly Lambert (MTV News) watch it and talk about it with me. Good news: she's not scared of anime anymore! Bad news: We can't really tell you what happens in this film. But that's not really a bad thing — it may or may not be Oshii's meditation on losing the Christian faith, and as such is a bramble of amazing dreamlike imagery and nihilism. In the second half of the episode, Eric Thurm (Drunk T*D Talks) and I continue down the Madoka sinkhole, into That Episode and more. There was so much to discuss, from income inequality in Mitakihara City, how to make a cat cosplay as Kyubey, and crushing loneliness. In completely predictable news, Madoka Magica is proving to be too thematically dense for one podcast! I'll be releasing some bonus content from this week's discussion with Eric on the Patreon, so stay tuned for that.

This time around Edward Sizemore (https://twitter.com/edsizemore) and Vince A (https://twitter.com/VinceA) join us to talk about Oshii's 1995 film based on Masamune Shirow's manga Ghost in the Shell
