Pros: Beautiful visuals, action, captivating music, character building, no cyborg sex.

Of Minds and Machines, and the Ghost in the Shell

by wrdnik3 , Sep 14 '07
Pros: beautiful animation, great story, interesting themes
Cons: not really terribly subtle
Ghost in the Shell is a legend among anime aficionados (and I’ve gotta admit that, much as I’d like to be, I can’t really be counted in that number). Based on the manga written and drawn by Masamune Shirow, and directed by Mamoru Oshii, Ghost in ...

Taking Ourselves a Little Bit Too Seriously

by O2_Debt , Jun 28 '00
Pros: The creators try to get you thinking.
Cons: The creators could have done a little more thinking themselves.
Disclaimer: The title of my review is intended as a not-so-funny joke. It is a critical analysis of a cartoon. If you haven't seen this movie, you might not care about or understand what the hell I am talking about. If you want to familiarize...

GHOST IN THE SHELL: An Existential Triumph

by chipperx , Jul 06 '01
Pros: Phenomenal animation, superb storyline, ferociously cinematic, excellent musical score, dynamic, sympathetic characters, fascinating concept.
Cons: The plot is very compressed and takes a lot of thought to understand completely.
***WARNING: I will reveal most of the plot here, because the story is complicated and sometimes confusing. This is a *long,* semi-intellectual review which respects chronology and plot structure. If you get bored reading such things, then please stop...

With Mechanical Augmentation, Guess What I'd Replace First?

by Furie , Jul 03 '00
Pros: Beautiful animation, spectacular action - when its there
Cons: Lags in places, philosophy gets hokey in spots.
Animes tend to bridge the gap between my childhood love of cartoon superheroes and blowing stuff up and my adult contemplation of moral issues, as well as free-wheeling speculation about the future. That's what made Ghost in the Shell all the more...

Anime-U-Like

by Nevereven , Sep 19 '00
Pros: Gorgeous animation, brilliant story
Cons: It has to end, and there is yet to be a sequle

I'm Sorry, Your Wrong...

by falconman , Feb 29 '00
Pros: Nice background art...
Cons: ...an unenjoyable piece of schlok,
This was not a good movie. It was tedious, ugly, and horribly paced. I am sorry for saying this as I loved the manga, something everyone should check out that is a fan of the genre. The manga touches the points in the anime in greater detail and in a...

SciFi Anime near it's best!

by jjbrickley , Nov 09 '00
Pros: animation
Cons: too much philosophy at times, partial disapointment in ending
"Ghost in the Shell" centers around a police officer with some rather unusual abilities. Since you watch her made during the opening credits, it becomes obvious within moments of the opening of the story she is "different". The...
