Every Ghost In The Shell Movie, Ranked From Worst To Best
Apart from the original manga and hours of TV episodes, there are also several Ghost in the Shell movies — here's every one, ranked from worst to best. Although many associate Ghost in the Shell with Mamoru Oshii's film from 1995, which is understandable given its importance to anime, the story of Ghost in the Shell comes from a manga published between 1989 and 1991. From then on, adaptations for all different media, including video games, became common, and Ghost in the Shell achieved the status of both a cult classic and a pop culture mainstay.
What is interesting is that there is not just one long-running Ghost in the Shell story. Instead, there are a few different continuities that, while they feel like belonging in the same story, are actually set in slightly different universes. The first two films, the Ghost in the Shell: Arise OVA, and the SAC universe all have stories that stand on their own and could each serve as starting pointing in the Ghost in the Shell franchise for new audiences. That said, some Ghost in the Shell installments stand out from the others.
