Ghost in the shell.
--To Write Love on Her Arms
"That time and absence proves - Rather helps than hurts to love."
"Feelings, emotions, they are good, but they cannot be Love's foundation. When of Love, these things last. When of romance, these things end."
"Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give -- which is everything."

>.> I didn't like it myself, but I've heard a lot of people say good things about it. Anyone else got any comments? It's been a long time since I've seen it...

Well first off, are you talking about the movie or the series? I thought the movie was pretty mediocre myself. I have not seen the series, but I have heard good things about it.

I saw about five minutes, including the car chase scene, when my mom came over and turned it off. ARRRRGGG! Why must I be so young?!? BTW, I liked the five minutes I saw.

Wow, you're 12, from what I know about Ghost in Shell--- well, I'd have turned it off if I were your mother.
Every year in Uganda, innumerable children simply. . . disappear. These children all stolen under the cover of darkness from their homes and impressed into the guerilla armies of the LRA [Lord's Resistance Army]. In the deserts of Uganda, they are forced to witness the mindless slaughter of other children until they themselves can do nothing but kill. Kill. These children, generally ranging from ages 5-12, are brainwashed into murdering in the name of the resistance and into stealing other children from their beds to suffer the same fate.
Because of this genocide of innocence, hundred and hundreds of children live every night sleeping in public places miles from their homes, because they know that if the do not-- they will disappear. They will become just another number in this genocide to which the international community has chosen to turn a blind eye. They will become, in affect, invisible-- Invisible Children.
But there are those who are trying to fight against this slaughter of Uganda's children. They fight to protect these "invisible children." Please, help them help a country full of children who know nothing by fear. Help save the innocence. For more information concerning how you can help and how you can get an incredible video about this horrific reality, visit the Invisible Children home page.

The movie was ok... It's not really an action movie,though there are some intense action scenes... It's a philisophical movie... It was also one of the primary sources of inspiration for the Matrix.
Important things to remember: The main character was meant to be an animated sex symbol... She's rather scantily clad for most of the movie, and nude for a good portion (I'll be conservative and say 10 minutes) The action scenes that do exist are rediculously gory and very detailed... You see a head being ripped apart in perfect detail as an exploding bullet penetrates. You see a cyborg getting ripped apart as well, while it is nude... A bit disturbing, perhaps.
The Animation and art is NOT like akira... Don't let anyone fool you. What may be considered at the same level or better is the philisophical area... Oh, and it has one of the coolest martial arts scenes in any movie, matrix included... Definately not for the kiddies or anyone sensitive to nudity or gore...
