ruhl8881 Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 BOTH are HORRIBLE just my opinion, Spirited away is where it is at Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
† Ferocia Coutura Posted December 18, 2011 Report Share Posted December 18, 2011 OMG. I looooooove GITS. Spirited Away is pretty fierce, though. But, I loooooove my GITS!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chaosf1 Posted December 19, 2011 Report Share Posted December 19, 2011 ghost in the shell, the concept and idea seem to click for me more then it did for akira. akira isnt a bad movie its good in its own rights but GITS is more of a stand out for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzep Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 I somehow didn't like Akira that much, don't get me wrong, it was beautifully made, but I'd prefer Ghost in the shell a million times over Akira… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boink666 Posted January 4, 2012 Report Share Posted January 4, 2012 Ghost In The Shell wins by far. I didn't find Akira to be anything special. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simtwo2008 Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I prefer the ghost in the shell characters. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dazzep Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 I've seen both Akira and Ghost in the Shell, I think I am a little bit weird, but I don't like Akira, even if I try to, I cannot like it, but Ghost in the Shell in the other hand, was really good, and I loved it!

gnijgnij Posted January 11, 2012 Report Share Posted January 11, 2012 ghost in the shell is better than akira in the story and grapics Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dunedain Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Akira is more stylized, and has an interesting look. But Ghost in the Shell with it's detailed world of secret government special forces groups and conspiracies is I think more involving. It's like a real version of a possible sci-fi future Japan. I was so impressed when I first saw it, and then I understood what all the enthusiastic talk about this anime was about. And, of course, they go into even more detail on those subjects in the anime series version, which is great. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mistlin Posted January 27, 2012 Report Share Posted January 27, 2012 Ghost in the Shell - simply because there's a lot more to think about. It's very clever using technology that is theoretically plausible. It's just brilliant, I commend them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RyuGan Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 Ghost in the shell in definite it has such a better plot and makes more sense Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrumRoll Posted January 29, 2012 Report Share Posted January 29, 2012 I may be one of the odd ones but I just saw Akira last year and Ghost in the Shell about a month ago and honestly I didn't like Akira and Ghost in the Shell I thought was... just 'ok'.I concur. altough I haven't watched all of GITS (lol) but I just seemed a tad to slow for my tastes.

Alkin Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Out of these two i'd go with ghost in the shell never really liked Akira that much to be honest and same for ghost in the shell i found it alright/good not amazing or great but thats just me i guess.

nybebopr Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I would have to say Akira I loved that movie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mustamseer Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 I think Ghost in the Shell is better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scorpion Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Both are indeed landmark pieces of animation.But for mine I was taken more by Ghost in the Shell. It was... Less 'in my face' than Akira felt to me. That scene at the end with Spider Tank taking on The Major sticks with me. And Ghost in the Shell has provided more talking points then Akira ever has among my group of friends. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
