What anime is this blue-tinted image of a layer of skin/paint peeling off the face of a woman from?


I did Google Image Search. Maybe this is **Ghost in the shell** (1995).

To be exact, that frame is from the original Ghost in the Shell movie, and
depicts the creation of the cyborg body of the Major. It is part of the
opening title sequence - which for being 20 years ago still thrills.
