So if my only legitimate complaint about a film is that there wasn't enough of it, do I really have room to complain? As an introduction to anime, this is as good as you're going to get-it's easier to understand than the somewhat overly ambitious Akira and it also isn't as obtuse or fantastical as Studio Ghibli's output like Howl's Moving Castle or Spirited Away, both excellent films in their own right. But I would have liked another 10 minutes or so that really examined what the film was trying to say or even going into the obviously complex relationship between Motoko and Batou. I can understand why it makes time for a stylish shootout or another lingering scene over Motoko's practically nude battle armour because part of the film's brilliance is in the visual experience. Due to a fairly short running time, the film doesn't have the time to fully explore the implications of technology on humanity in the way Blade Runner does.
When I say that Ghost in the Shell is easily confusing, I'm not exaggerating. What Do People Really Think of People Who Refuse the Vaccine? What's Not to Like?

Initially a box office disappointment with global takings of just $10 million, the film became a cult hit via home release and went on to influence a number of filmmakers including the Wachowskis, who were heavily influenced when they produced The Matrix. The film is also notable for combining traditional hand-drawn animation with CG. It became the first anime film to be released simultaneously in Japan, the US and Britain as part of a strategy to increase the global appeal of anime films. The film is a cyberpunk thriller following a cyborg security agent on the trail of a notorious hacker known as the Puppet Master. Ghost in the Shellis a Japanese anime film released in 1995 and is based on the manga series of the same name created by Masamune Shirow. Marlies Gabriele Prinzl What's the Big Deal?
