'Ghost in the Shell' is a real classic in the anime genra, a big name title there and one that had a large enough impact to become semi well known outside of anime circles; also there was a white washed live action remake with Scarlett Johanson that attracted some controversy and a genrally blah reception back in 2017.
Set in 2029 the film concerns Mj. Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg security agent who along with her team go up against a powerful hacker out to disrupt important diplomatic talks. This is a reasonably good action sci-fi movie with a couple of interesting ideas in it. Motoko is naked a lot in this, starting two minutes in, she has a camouflage/ invisibility power that apparently she has to be mostly nude to use, this no doubt helped the film with its target demographic. Motoko's voice sounds so much like Alexa that's got to be intentional. **1/2
