An absolute classic
MacDara from Galway, 23 Jun 2008
Due for a live-action remake by James Cameron, this (along with Akira) is probably the best Manga movie I've seen. The inspiration The Matrix took from it is apparent throughout, as is William Gibson's influence on Ghost... itself. Set in a future when cybernetic implants are de rigeur and internet access is used almost as a sixth sense, government agents are on the hunt for a terrorist. You'll forget it's an animated film as you get into it. It's that good.
A True Manga Classic

What can I say!!?-I love Manga and Anime pics and this is a classic. Apparently this movie laid the foundations for the Matrix Trilogy-and when you see Ghost in the Shell you can see why. This is a must see for any manga lover-obviously the 'ground-breaking' effects have to be put into account for the time that it was released-mid 90's, but still-it's pretty cool
Disappointed

Maybe it was the hype, but I was expecting more. Very slow even though it's only 80 minutes long.
