The Ghost in the Shell
Koukaku Kidoutai (TV)
It's 2029 in Niihama City, a tech hub where people casually swap out their limbs for robotic upgrades. The world's more connected than ever, and that's created new problems—Section 9, a government security division, exists to handle corruption, terrorism, and whatever else this globalized future throws at them. Major Motoko Kusanagi runs the show at Section 9. She's tough, decisive, and currently tracking a hacker called the Puppet Master, who's been systematically erasing people's memories. The Puppet Master's almost entirely artificial—basically a ghost in a machine—which makes them incredibly dangerous. As Motoko and her team dig deeper, things get messy. Other agencies like Section 6 start nosing around, and what should've been a straightforward case turns into something way more complicated. Along the way, Motoko starts wrestling with bigger questions about identity and purpose. And she eventually realizes the Puppet Master might be the only one who can actually answer them.
