So after forming the gang of cyborgs along with one token human who never hears the end of his role in this film, Motoko Kusanagi is tasked with stopping a terrorist group led by a female cyborg that looks exactly like her. Thankfully, the film is stand-alone enough so that you don't need to see those OVAs, if only because its story is about as non-existent as its reputation. Or at least as whiny as you can be when you're a cyborg with restrained emotions. It's a sequel to the Arise OVAs, which I remember being kind to when I first saw them, but I honestly can't remember what happened in the things other than it serving as an origin story for Section 9 and that the Major was a whiny prima-donna in her youth. Maybe I missed a news segment somewhere, but it just got lost in the anime announcement shuffle and despite the theatre I watched it in being relatively packed, there's not a whole lot of fanfare about it either.
coming out until a friend who pays a lot more attention to upcoming stuff informed me of its existence, and then it took another friend to inform me that it was coming out to American theatres for a limited time. So yeah, I think my lack of enthusiasm gives the whole game away regarding my feelings on Ghost in the Shell: Let's Give It The Same Title As The Fucking First One Like We're A Video Game Franchise Reboot. Yeah this one took a long time to show up, didn't it? I actually watched the new Ghost in the Shell film months ago, but I never got the chance to review it until now because something more interesting to review would always be around that week.
