If Ghost in the Shell hit the spot, these will too

Mamoru Oshii directing both, with the same fingerprints on each

Both keep coming back to the same thing: dystopia

Both are working the same pair: cyborg, cyberpunk
The difference: Sits closer to thriller than Ghost in the Shell does

Common ground in both: man vs machine and artificial intelligence

Common ground: fugitive
The difference: The critics' underdog of the pair

Both are built on the same subject: dystopia

The difference: Leans harder into drama than Ghost in the Shell does

The same preoccupation in both: man vs machine
