CAA: Christian Anime Alliance

An anime film that's been around for quite a while...

I personally really liked it, although the excessive female nudity put a nasty dent in it. However I was pleased about the complete lack of any sexual content. Nevertheless I really wouldn't recommend this to any younger viewers.

Personally I think it's a cyberpunk classic that belongs alongside Akira. In fact I prefer this film to Akira, it somehow seemed deeper. The setting was one of the best things... a futuristic version of Hong Kong. Echoing through the entire film is an absorbing soundtrack that draws you in.....

I might post a review at some point.

Who has seen this, and what did you think?

Absolutely one of the best. The nudity isn't sexualized so it's not really too much of a problem. Recall in any event, that the Japanese are more casual about nudity, and likewise don't necessarily see it as sexual (like the Scandanavians in that regard).

Yeah, this films better than Akira. A better comparison might be Blade Runner (another classic SF film). I loved the art, the philosophical questions raised, the plot, etc. Really, I highly recommend this one.

Haven't been here for awhile but anyways i loved the but i was surprised they didn't rated that Hentai thjey said that it's not hentai even thought it has alot of nudity

Hentai is the use of sexual anime/manga imagery to induce lust, something that Ghost doesn't set out to do at all. Therefore it is not hentai.

Not quite becasue love hina is considered mild hentai and it has not nudity () () kinda odd but o well i'll take your word for it

You might be able to call LH mild ecchi, but noone would consider it even remotely hentai.

Either way, GITS is still pretty cool. Althought, I'd have to agree with DJN. I really can't recommend it to younger viewers.

I really liked GITS, I agree with the term of a cyberpunk classic, but i still rather Akira!

Ghost in the Shell was a good film, but I think I found a few of the scenes a bit more violent than I care for.

I should re-rent it now that I've got DVD so I can see if wide-screen... maybe I can even see it subed and see if it changes any... hmmm.

I guess it's been too long since I rented it but i don't rember any nudity. I thought it was good.
