"It's just the absolute bomb. Ghost in the Shell was really good, it's a little bit more recent"
About this Quote
The pivot to “Ghost in the Shell was really good” quietly narrows the claim. He isn’t saying it changed his life; he’s saying it delivers. That plain, almost sheepish “really good” reads like a correction after the big swing of “absolute bomb,” as if he’s calibrating hype in real time. It’s the rhetoric of someone aware of how easily fandom can tip into oversell.
Then there’s the curious hedge: “it’s a little bit more recent.” In a conversation about anime or sci-fi canon, recency is both an invitation and a disclaimer. He’s positioning Ghost in the Shell as accessible entry-level prestige: not too dusty, not too obscure, modern enough to be legible to newcomers. Subtext: you don’t need homework to join this conversation.
Culturally, the quote captures a moment when anime was moving from niche to mainstream, and actors with convention circuits became translators between subcultures. Marsters is selling not just a title, but a shared taste community, built on excitement rather than expertise.
