Main Description
Ghost in the Shell is a cyberpunk story based on the Manga of the same title. It follows the story of Motoko Kusanagi of Public Security Section 9 as she and her team chase down their target known only has Puppet Master. The story mixes action, sci-fi and philosophical questions about merging man and machine. I'll work on this later unless someone wants to do it.

When I first saw this years ago I was blown away by it. One of the best things about this movie is that while the fight scenes may be a little sparse they are extremely well done. The script does a good job of keeping you wondering what will happen next as the story progesses. One of the major themes of the movie is the ethics of having man and computers become intergrated. In context with the setting it is an intersting thought about if ones mind can exist without a body. Anyways I don't want to give too much away since one of the pros to this movie is the character and plot development.
Totalizator
Exceptionally good and classy cyberpunk movie. Ghost in the Shell has a great, deep plot and a moving soundtrack, especially the opening theme "Making of a Cyborg". The art style is decent, dark and very fitting for a cyberpunk setting. Even if the animation isn't that great by todays standards, the action scenes are well done and dramatic. This movie is a cyberpunk classic, worth watching by any fan of the genre.
inkwell
Probably my favorite anime of all time. Deep speculation, believable characters, awesome setting, and a dark and somewhat spartan aesthetic. The animation was state of the art, and some sequences are still stunning, 12+ years later. The soundtrack can be spine-tingling. Watch this movie.
