@limon_reviews Great, thanks for the info. I'll update the novelisation for sure. I know there were a bunch of OVA shorts as well from SAC but not sure if they should be in this.

I created a media map for the sprawling Ghost in the Shell series, which has a new anime TV show debuting soon by Science SARU.

@JC__Den My personal opinion is that the 1995 film by Mamoru Oshii is worth watching even for non-anime fans. It's very well done in all respects of its production and handles its themes quite maturely.

[xeoniq @xeoniq]

@Cusashorn You're right. I missed those, thanks for pointing them out. I also realised the Japanese release dates for the first SAC manga release had a typo, so I've fixed that too. Updated and uploaded that on the shellzine article.

@batmanisbett3r While I love the Oshii 1995 film, I was pretty clueless about the entire franchise and thought most of it was related. As I researched, I realised that each creator pretty much did their own thing. Looking at it as separate creator continuities made it a lot simpler to digest.

[xeoniq @xeoniq]

@Eysuzu As a big fan of the original Oshii adaptation, I will definitely have a read.

@limon_reviews Thank you, yes I will try to keep improving its accuracy. I was surprised how good the art is in that Arise manga.

I appreciate everyone who has reached out regarding little errors or omissions. A good thing about hosting it on my site is I can update it as I go.

Here is a link to the SHELLZINE article: https://t.co/TOjoNQRTbj
I've updated the map with a few minor manga and light novel additions, which is hosted in high resolution there along with watch orders for different continuities and a master release list table for all GITS anime.

With more and more companies simply relying on low effort and/or AI-generated content for their promotions, projects of this calibre may become rarer and rarer over time. The rest of the article is on SHELLZINE.

I've restored a number of videos and print materials that Katsuhiro Otomo created as promotional work for the Canon T70 35mm camera.

[xeoniq @xeoniq]

Searching on Japanese auctions, I was also able to find a number of posters and even some promotional merchandise that was produced for the Japanese market to promote the T70, including a brand new pack of playing cards, and a set of sealed sticker decals.

[xeoniq @xeoniq]

I restored 18 covers and they are hosted in high resolution along with some commentary, on shellzine, which is linked on my profile.

[xeoniq @xeoniq]

I went through Japanese auction sites and restored some harder to find cover art for classic cyberpunk and SciFi paperback novels. With the advent of AI-generated art, this commercial, but high value, human-made work used for literature, another dying medium, is probably extinct.

[xeoniq @xeoniq]

With science fiction novels, the cover art often informed readers of the kind of fantastical imagery within the pages; and these restored images have a uniquely Japanese take on work that has become associated with the cyberpunk genre.
