Made some small tweaks to the GitS SAC OST listings, someone was kind enough to point out some errors/inconsistencies on it that I've gone and corrected here. Offhand, I can't think of anything else that was particularly noteworthy in the November to December portion of things. I don't much mind though, the more time Shirow has to tinker with something, the better the end product turns out, right? Appleseed Online has apparently launched, of course, being Japanese-only, I haven't even figured out how to download the client, let alone register to play. November 23 was Shirow's birthday, once again I forget about it :/ The 2nd Volume of GitS SAC 2nd GIG released on US DVD on/about that day too, though I managed to snag mine the Friday before at Best Buy, always finding stuff early there :D Still no word on the new Posterbook collection things, that's Shirow's trademark delays for you. Let's see, what else has happened in this timeframe.

As I don't quite have the bandwidth for 3 big scans at once, it'll be the two I intended from last month for this month, and then two again next month. below this update is the update I intended for the start of last month, never uploaded because I was too distracted to take the time to find and upload the two scans I was going to post, my bad. That being said, don't come whining to me if his ladies offend your sensibilites, you have the option of leaving any time you feel like it.Īck. Just take a look at Ghost in the Shell, Shirow's created a whole world in this futuristic cyberpunk tale, with an incredible level of information density helping to bring it all to life.

Of course, his girls(some more than others) have gotten him marked as a hentai/ecchi artist, but there's a lot more to his stuff than eye candy. Readily apparent in Shirow's works are a number of elements - distinctive mecha that often look similar to insects, high-tech gadgets, cyborgs, robots, police, an insane amount of detail, and many, many sexy women. In addition to doing so many different things, he continually evolves his style, experimenting with various processes and learning the latest technology, Shirow definitely doesn't sit back and settle on a final creative style. From writing manga, to working on video games and anime, he's even gone so far as designing computer hardware. While he is probably most famous for creating Appleseed and Ghost in the Shell, Shirow has done much more than just creating those two worlds. What I'm working at with this site is to sample out as much of Shirow's various works as I can so that you can get a good feel for his work. You've reached Artistic Genius, a shrine of sorts to the art of my favorite artist, Masamune Shirow.
