Ghost in the Shell's dub made anime accessible to adults.
While the original 1995 Ghost in the Shell is hailed as a classic for cyberpunk and anime, fans shouldn't miss out on the anime series Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. The series' dub is hailed as an all-time great as well; with its mature, adult-oriented story making anime more accesible for adults.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Stand Alone Complex follows Major Motoko Kusanagi and her team at Section 9 as they investigate an incident which spirals out into a far bigger conspiracy. Told with a mix of plot-heavy story arcs and stand-alone episodes, Stand Alone Complex offers excellent characterization, a captivating plot, and a look at a future that feels a little too close for comfort in modern times.
Stand Alone Complex also had a side benefit when it came to being dubbed – much of the dialog in the show takes place via direct radio communication between the characters' "cyberbrains", meaning that they essentially talked to each other telepathically without moving their mouths. As a result, translators didn't need to follow any mouthflaps, or even the duration of a particular shot, and could take as much time as needed to deliver their lines.
What Makes Ghost in the Shell: SAC So Great? The series' dub benefited from an all-star cast of voice actors. Mary Elizabeth McGlynn's performance as the Major became the definitive version in the minds of many, while Crispin Freeman's take on Togusa made the relatable Everyman an honorable cop and a friend.
Any sci-fi fan who hasn't watched Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is doing themselves an immense disservice, even if they don't normally like anime; the series is like no other anime out there, and hits all the best parts of cyberpunk.
