The Ghost in the Shell in my opinion is the great cyberpunk anime that has ever been...period. The live action movie was a total insult to the fans of this series. There is a lot of animosity over these AI "covers" but I am thinking back to the beginnings of new age music and the analog synthesizers of that time c.1975. There was a lot of criticism that musicians were not playing. It was smoothed over and the term became "realized by....." This ended when Robert Moog put a keyboard on his synthesizer and it could actually be played like a musical instrument. In Japan there is a knock down drag out fight between the Anime studios, in the laided back Japanese style, over this.

The City Opening gives me a shiver every time I view it, Ghost City/Making of a Cyborg music by Kenji Kawai is a sonic headrush.

Here is original Anime.


Here is the AI cover.

I don't think the AI cover can hold a candle to the original! Original has still got that extra mysterious touch, I think ...

(I thought that opening was a cover of "Pilentze Pee" by the Bulgarian State Television Female Choir, opening track of Le Mystere des Voix Bulgares (1990) ...? (linky))
