Her animated appearance, however, is so far removed from accurately resembling a human body that I wasn’t able to view her as anything similar to a human. At around the 1:40-1:50 mark in the movie, Kusanagi strips off her clothing. However, given that this animation is so far from being human-like, I found the warning to be almost comical. Were this animation to be incredibly human-like, I would find this warning to be justified in that seeing “almost humans” committing violent acts or engaging in extreme nudity would be rightfully off-putting for a non-mature audience.
We have talked a lot in class about the uncanny valley, where once something becomes too human-like or too real, we suddenly lose our liking for that particular object. Before delving into scenes in the film itself, however, I thought it was interesting to note the precautionary message that appeared first, warning the audience that the animation was intended for mature audiences due to violence, language and nudity. I decided to hone in on the opening scene of the animation in order to best assist me in explaining my real reaction to the use of animated beings to tell a story with computer-generated effects.
