GHOST IN THE SHELL (1995) - Hand-Painted Major Motoko Kusanagi (Atsuko Tanaka/Mimi Woods) Animation Cel and Hand-Drawn Sketch - A hand-painted Major Motoko Kusanagi (Atsuko Tanaka/Mimi Woods) animation cel and hand-drawn sketch from Mizuho Nishikubo and Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell. Kusanagi upgraded the bullets in her gun as she fought against an M-23 and a Unit "B" from behind a pillar.

This cel was presented by Manga Entertainment Studio to the video retail distributor as an appreciation for their services. The lot consists of a hand-painted acetate animation cel featuring Kusanagi dressed in armor and adhered to a red and white matted board featuring a gold-color metal plaque engraved "From The Movie Ghost In The Shell Manga Entertainment"; and a hand-drawn image of the cel rendered in graphite and color on white paper and adhered to an illustration board. Both are handmarked "B-13" in the upper right corner. This lot exhibits minor scuffing on the boards' edges and minor notable loss of adhesion.
