But... it's not.
The Ghost in the Shell is another adaptation of Shirow Masamune's manga of the same name, with its lead character closer to the characterization found in said manga.
What?
"Officially returns"
"Spiritual Successor"
It's Ghost in the Shell, whoever created this article is on crack
Did the writer mix up Stand Alone Complex's soundtrack with Cowboy Bebop? They're both some of Yoko Kanno's best work.
CBR and Comicbook are absolute the most vile click bait cancer I've seen. I wish we would ban it here
What is this guy even talking about?
It's like comparing Redline and Initial D, sure they're both about racing but it wouldn't make either of them spiritual successors to each other
I like both Ghost in the Shell and Cowboy Bebop. This article is pure ass though.
