Yet Shirow also has an ironic sense of humour and made countless pornographic hentai comics at the same time under the title 'Galgrease'. This makes him stand out amidst more simple-minded manga by fellow artists. The action is combined with intelligent social commentary, philosophy and untranslatable puns. Most of his stories fall into the cyberpunk genre. Shirow is renowned for his complex, thought-provoking storylines, yet he spends almost as much attention to the technological details of his drawings. All inspired a franchise worth of films, TV series and video games, with 'Ghost in the Shell' in particular gaining international fame thanks to a 1995 cult animated feature. Masamune Shirow is a Japanese mangaka who is most famous for three comic series: 'Appurushido' ('アップルシード', 'Appleseed', 1985-1989), 'Dominion' ('ドミニオン', 1986) and 'Kōkaku Kidōtai' ('攻殻機動隊', 'Ghost in the Shell', 1989).
