The Star of “One Tree Hill,” Craig Sheffer, discusses the events that led to his untimely departure from the program in season 3. After debuting on The WB (which later changed its name to The CW) in 2003, the long-running drama, which Mark Schwahn produced, continued until season 9.
In the North Carolina community of “One Tree Hill”, brothers Lucas (Chad Michael Murray) and Nathan Scott (James Lafferty) are followed in “One Tree Hill” as they deal with romances, problems with their high school, and the drama surrounding their neighborhood basketball team. In the first episode of “One Tree Hill,” Sheffer played a character named Keith Scott.
The father of Lucas and Nathan, Dan (Paul Johansson), helped Lucas join the basketball team in the first episode. Keith was Dan’s older brother. In an unexpected turn of events, Dan shoots Keith in season 3 when he believes he started a fire at his auto dealership.
The character first appeared in Season 4’s Episode 2 Of “One Tree Hill” as a ghost, and then in a particular scene that sent Dan to heaven after he was shot dead. The figure then made an appearance in an episode of season 9 of “One Tree Hill.”

In Which Episode Of “One Tree Hill” Did Keith Scott Die?
It was featured in season 3, episode 6, “With Tired Eyes, Tired Minds, Tired Souls, We Slept.” Many viewers stopped watching the show altogether after one of its most important and beloved characters was murdered. The fact that Keith Scott, our favorite sweet boy, died, however, remained unaffected.
In “One Tree Hill,” how does Keith die?
Keith was the last man standing in the lives of Lucas and Karen after Dan abandoned them. He, therefore, immediately assumed the role of Lucas’ father. With regard to Karen, there was never a difficulty because they were both deeply in love. After the incident at the school, Keith was able to get Lucas out, but not before he ran into Jimmy.
In a fit of fear, Jimmy let go of Lucas but then killed himself. Keith and Lucas’s situations appeared to improve until Dan swooped in and grabbed Jimmy’s abandoned rifle. Without feeling any regret, he fired the shot directly at his brother. Dan briefly persuaded everyone that he was the guilty party because Jimmy was already dead, but only for a little while.

Anime like Ghost in the Shell has captured audiences’ imaginations for a variety of reasons, with the original movies making a significant impact unlike anything seen before.
What made Ghost in the Shell popular was its reflection of its era, presenting an edgy cyber-punk world with a bleak outlook on life. The protagonist, Motoko Kusanagi, serves as a guide in a world where the very essence of identity is questioned.
Naturally, the film’s impact leaves viewers craving more, but with numerous movies and franchise shows available, it can be overwhelming to choose where to begin. However, there are several series that capture the essence of Ghost in the Shell, and some even surpass it in certain aspects.
The list below is not ranked, but it’s recommended to start with the first entry as immersing yourself in others first may disrupt the experience when you finally watch the initial recommendation. However, it’s worth noting that while some entries may not have aged well in terms of plot animation, they still offer compelling narratives.
One entry on the list is bound to become a classic, despite being a prequel to a non-Japanese game. So, without further ado, here are the Top 20 Anime Like Ghost In The Shell for fans of the series.
1) Ghost in The Shell: Sac_2045:
Hear us out, and we know the anime is not what many of the GiS (Ghost in the Shell fans) would recommend, but there is a catch. Anime as a medium is capable of more than telling a story through dialogue.
It can create visuals and scenery that are out of this world; whether it be Fantasy or Sci-fi, the medium has the potential to be at the top in this. This is where this anime fails, and we won’t say the story alone makes up for it.
But, if you watch this first over others, you won’t find it as much of a chore when you come to it later. The story is worth watching even if anime isn’t, and the visuals are a good source of memes too!

2) Ergo Proxy:
Ergo Proxy is what you may call the spiritual successor of the dystopian series. Like Ghost in the Shell, the series has a female protagonist who is set to do work for her higher-ups.
But where Ghost in the Shell dealt with the morality of what made someone human, Ergo Proxy takes a different route. The main character ends up in a spiral of conspiracy that puts her at odds with her employers, and now they want her gone because she knows the truth.

3) Terror In Resonance:
One thing about this list you will notice is there are a lot of anime that were directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, director of Cowboy Bebop. The same goes for this title, and it has the same uniqueness when it comes to the music that is in every show he directs.
The story takes place in Tokyo, which has been under attack by the terrorists, a 2000’s thing you don’t often see these days ( Lycoris Recoil takes place in a similar era). The show has character deal with characters on the clock dealing with an organization for whom destroying Tokyo seems all but fun.

4) Psycho-Pass:
One of Gen Urubachi’s greatest works, and right after Madoka Magika. The series is another look into future dystopia that has a system that works similarly to total recall.
In this world, the aptitude of a person to be good or bad is defined by their Psycho-Pass index, once it goes up, it doesn’t come down. What follows is a group of officers who are out to track these criminals and apprehend them for doing crimes.
But the world will go into disarray when a naive young recruit sees humanity and a chance to retribute for all the supposed criminals.

5) Serial Experiments Lain:
If you want something like Ghost in The Shells but set in the present-day era (or closer to it), look no further than Serial Experiment Lain. This is one of the shows you can’t just watch and be done with; it has layers and layers of plot that require multiple rewatches.
It is also a good way to learn what the Japan of the ’90s looked like or how computers looked like when it was plugged with so many wires.

6) Akira:
Akira was one of the biggest anime when it came out, and a flop. But the franchise soon garnered a cult following leading to its massive popularity that can be felt even today.
Like Ghost in the Shell, the anime takes place in the future but focuses on the biological side of technology rather than the psychological and philosophical.
The anime is known for its grotesque scenes that can hardly be found today, but the action also lives up to the modern-age anime counterparts. And if that wasn’t enough, the iconic scenes get referenced as a homage to the anime.

7) Darker Than Black:
One of the greater achievements in the 2000s for the Bones Studio. Though the studio is known for making shows like My Hero Academia, Full Metal Alchemist, and many more, this original series gave them an edge to become the powerhouse they are today.
Much like most entries on the list, the story takes place in a fictional version of Tokyo that is about to go through another change. The show is mature compared to many shows Bones has created. This series is also one of the top animes that the studio has created.

8) Gantz:
No series under Shueisha (the company that has big three and many hits under its name) make it to the list, except one. Gantz. Following a plot that is like Ghost in the Shell and game into the mix, the story is an action drama filled with emotional moments and suspense.
Anyone into gaming ( which should be a lot of people these days), will enjoy the RPG except for the story and how that intervenes the plot. The story as a whole is wild, but that is the kind of thing we don’t see often these days.

9) Bubblegum Crisis:
A series that is very similar to Ghost in the Shell and yet different in so many ways. The show focuses on an all-female squad that deals with threats posed by rogue robots and sometimes even humans.
These aren’t run-of-the-mill girls. They are battle-hardened warriors who wear exoskeleton suits to fight off threats that come their way. The show is not only like Ghost in the Shell but shares similarities with Neon Genesis: Evangelion. A character even resembles Asuka with the red-clad suit she wears.

10) Appleseed:
The story can be defined as a modern take on Olympus, with things spiraling out of control. Many entries on our list are long-form shows with multiple episodes, not Appleseed.
Taking inspiration from Christianity as well as old Greek, the show uses the names of the myths and sets up an intricate plot where their idea of human belonging is questioned. And like many cyberpunk stories, the main villain is the government that wants to run the world.

11) Cowboy Bebop:
Cowboy Bepop has become one of the most legendary animes of all time. The show is popular to this day, and along with Trigun, it has unrivaled status as the fan favorite in the community.
Like Ghost in the Shell, the anime takes place in an advanced future but the character motifs and drama are on a different level. Not saying it’s better but it doesn’t work the same way as GiS.
The show is slow-paced, with music that holds up to this day. Speaking of music, you will fall in love with Jazz music after watching this anime.

12) Knights of Sidonia:
Long after the destruction of the earth, there is a spaceship that wanders the universe after it escapes from the lifeform that destroyed the plane. The story is about a fateful encounter with the threat once again after our protagonist, Nagate, learns to pilot a guardian and comes out to the upper layer of Sidonia.
Oh, and the spaceship has a culture similar to Japan and is divided into layers, while the population is asexual, and the species is continued by genetic engineering. Why is that? A thing that makes the show a must-watch else it will be a spoiler.

13) Planetes:
Planetes, literally meaning wanderers, is a Sunrise anime about space exploration where the Earth is ready to take on Jupiter. This all is a front( except the literal meaning part) as the show focuses on realism to explore issues that could be taking place in the future.
This is not for those who want escapism in the anime, as it is filled with socio-economic and environmental issues that affect us today ( and talked about to an insane degree by some people). But, if realism is your cup of tea, you will like this anime, maybe the most out of all on the list.

14) Neon Genesis Evangelion:
It could be said that the two series have a lot of similarities when it comes to themes. A case of identity while the threat of world safety looms over the character’s head. This is also a good way to show that there are many ways to tell a theme with varying degrees.
Like Ghost in the Shell, Evangelion focuses on threats that require tremendous willpower to go through. Apart from that Neon Genesis is a character-driven show that will have you on the edge of your seat. It is also one of the best anime in the Mecha genre.

15) Cyberpunk Edgerunners:
This is a new entry in the list of many creators out there. The show became an instant hit and even revived the game it is the prequel of. Like Ghost in the Shell, Cyberpunk: Edgerunners focuses on a dystopian future that is riddled with the question of self and what it means to have human connections.
However, if you are someone who can’t handle endings that leave you wishing things would have been different, the show might not be for you. But then again, it’s stories like those that make you come back at it over and over again.

16) Space Battleship Yamato 2199:
As the name suggests, the anime takes place in the future and a galaxy far, far away! Not really, but we couldn’t help mentioning the famous quote.
The show is set in space with a crew set out on incursion in the unknown domains of space. The premise is closer to Star Trek than Star Wars, with the futurism of Ghost in the Shell in the mix. Although, the politics are played in an entirely different way in the show.
CC: Space Battleship Yamato 2199
17) Space Dandy:
Made by the same team behind Cowboy Bepop, the series is a retake of the show through a comedic lens. And just like Cowboy Bepop, the show has music that is unique and is worth listening to outside the anime.
Unlike the space cowboy, Space Dandy is more American as the comedy takes inspiration from the American media. The show is an adventure in the outer galaxy with unique characters who do nothing but get in trouble.
Space Dandy
18) Macross Plus:
Macros Plus was one of the greatest Mecha anime of its time. Just like how Isekai is the most used genre of today’s time, Mecha was the norm in the old days. The series was released as an OVA of eight episodes and follows multiple timelines.
This show is also the first break of Cowboy Bebop’s director, after which he only became better with each episode. The show is like Ghost in the Shell in the aspect of the way it reimagines the future that reflects the present’s worries about technology.

19) Legend of the Galactic Heroes:
A space opera anime that takes place in the future, like Ghost in the Shell. What makes the show unique is the medium it was presented through at the time it came out.
Most of the anime got their recognition due to being televised or being a big spectacle on the screen. This light novel did not follow in those footsteps.
The series was disc only, and with that it gained an audience that made it popular in the medium. No series has come close to repeating this feat and never will, as the times have changed due to the era of streaming services.

20) Eureka Seven:
There are a few anime that can be credited with bringing a big audience to the medium, Eureka Seven is one of them. Taking place in the far future, the characters are in a desolate land where there is little to no technological advancement.
CC: Eureka Seven Franchise
Renton lives a boring life and wants nothing but to get out of his mud hole and explore the world. His wishes come true when Zero crashes into his room with her pilot Eureka. Renton falls for the pilot and pursues the life he has always wanted.
