• an analysis of 'ghost in the shell 2: that one basset hound scene'. i am a sucker for well-researched animation analysis on a technical, visual, and emotive level and this one was a joy to read. incredible vibes with the scene itself too. i dislike the word "wholesome' these days, but it's a scene that makes your heart softer if just for a little bit.
