	artistic genius - a shrine to Masamune Shirow
		All is not lost though, we still have plenty of other Appleseed, in the form of the 1988 OVA, a 1994 Super Famicom game, the 2004 CG production and its planned sequels, as well as talk of a television series and possible live action movie being in the works.
		Shirow did revisit Appleseed with his art somewhat recently, showing off some modern illustrations of what was originally supposed to be Deunan in Intron Depot 3(which drew from the Thrilling calendar), but ended up as just another Shirow girl with the evolution of the image.
		Shirow does lament about not being able to continue Appleseed in Intron Depot 3, and while happy that he's been able to incorporate some unexplored concepts into his other works, he hopes to continue with new stories someday, though he admits it'll be different with the evolution of his drawing style.

	The Masamune Shirow Interview
		Shirow was born in Kobe in 1961, and has always lived there, which right away makes him very unusual.
		Shirow's manga are characterized by their high tech themes and pseudo-realistic "mecha"; an information-dense visual and narrative structure; and an entertaining, often tongue-in-cheek approach that never lets anything get too serious.
		We visit the famous Kiku Masamune sake brewery, which may or may not be the inspiration for the first half of Shirow's pen name, tour a few of the now-rebuilt earthquake sites, and then meet Shirow at the Oriental Hotel.

		Shirow himself is a very secretive man, it is thought that "Masamune Shirow" isn't even his real name.
		Shirows professional debut came with "Appleseed", an epic sci-fi tale currently running at four volumes and climbing with it's own feature length anime and data-book (Yes, the story is complex enough to require one!) amongst other things.
		When discussing Ghost, Shirow commented that much of the cyber-brain technology used in his manga was fraught with problems, the risk was certainly a major factor but perhaps just as important, what kind of person would take such risks to get what is little more than a "shame reality".

		Masamune Shirows work is laden with detail, often making use of full-color shading, distancing itself from that of artists such as Rumiko Takahashi whose manga looks like children's coloring books that haven't been filled in.
		Though the fans of Shirow would probably never go for that as it is the obsession with detail that they share with Masamune Shirow himself that keeps them coming back for more.
		From utilitarian mobile robots to large scale assault craft Shirow manages to vary designs to a degree where few similarities can be drawn between his different craft.

		While Batou, the gruff cyber-security operative from volume one, makes an appearance, this new work is more of a meditation on the first book's central theme—the melding of cybernetic technology, human personality and the spiritual "ghost" or life force at its essence—than a continuation of the original story.
		Aramaki digitally transfers her personality and capabilities between cyborg bodies stashed around the world, as she attacks industrial spies, assassins and cyber-hackers while keeping up a steady stream of digital communications with various robotic assistants and her secretary back at the office.
		Once again Masamune attempts to assay the virtual terrain where technological entities meet the essence of human spirituality, connecting the mythology of sci-fi machinery to both the metaphysics of religion and the timeless allure and complexity of Asian creation-myths.
