#3Oshii is just way too good at that sort of scene. A similar one from Patlabor 2 also always gives me chills: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1dmlwhaEEgE

#4The article doesn't mention Kowloon Walled City (though one of the comments does), a more specific inspiration for some shots, which is why the shot they have of the person walking through an alley looks like it's an enclosed space.

The 1995 'original' is very good. The atmosphere of some scenes with nothing but landscape views and music are really striking in a hypnotic way. The overall quality of the drawings is incredible and the storyline is both interesting and getting more relevant.

I like the conversation the major has where she mentions if the augmented humans had to give back all their enhancements there wouldn’t be much left over. I know many people who take adderall and vyvanse as a performance enhancing drug without an rx. If they had to stop they wouldn’t be much of anything.
