I can't even
literally who?

There are brain cells in her, they talk about it in the original film.
>>72063439
nobody is talking about this film anymore. It's been completely forgotten until you brought it up.

Scarlett Johansson as the main protagonist of Ghost in the Shell's Hollywood adaptation

Japan made something like five decent animated movies in the last 30 years, and you automatically shit on one of them?
Come the fuck on anon
This stuff is basically Asian Blade Runner

Do they talk about the Major directly or just cyber brains in general? Haven't watched/read this series in a long time, but I remember the Major's humanity to be questionable at best.
Either way the characters live in a transhumanist future so shit like race and sex don't even mean anything anymore (at least not the same as they do in our society).

I believe the canon behind cyberbrains is that it's a metal casing around a normal living brain. So people with prosthetic bodies are not entirely machine, they're cyborgs.

Yes, but the issue with the Major is that she is so heavily cybered and has been since childhood (I don't think she even has memories of a pre cybered body) that it calls into question whether she was initially human at all.
>>72063439
I honestly don't give a fuck. Quit framing this as some Ghostbusters-tier thing.
Anime is rocky enough with general audiences outside of Dragonball. I'm more upset with having some random black guy being L in the Death Note adaptation than this choice which at least looks like her.
>>72063439
Some say the Major's true self was actually a man.
>>72066696
you mean little boy, since the one thing that's stayed consistent about her backstory is that she lost her flesh and blood body when she was a very young child
>>72064797
Less than half-- nay, a third of 4chan's content is anime-based
>>72064512
specifically about the major, its when her & batou are in the elevator talking
>>72063622
I'm no anime fan but there are a handful of excellent ones and Ghost in the Shell is one of them
