The year 2032 is a future where cybernetics have run amok. In this dark future of Japan, a group of covert police officers handles the most devious and dangerous sorts of technological crime. Major Motoko Kusanagi, formerly one of the top agents, has disappeared, her ghost–the data that comprises the soul of her otherwise completely mechanized body–having gone into hiding in the global information network. When a string of grisly murders are perpetrated by seemingly harmless sex robots, the current top cybernetic agent, Batou, is partnered with the younger and less mechanized Togusa to find out the dark secret of what is behind these killings, and who is willing to go to almost any lengths to stop them from finding out.
Having been so impressed with the 1st Ghost In The Shell movie all those years ago I was really looking forward to the sequel. It did not disappoint. It might not be as compelling as the first but it’s still animation at it’s finest. Great to see The Major make a return.
Sadako’s Rating: 4 out of 5
