Oshii Mori's Ghost in the Shell animation is my personal favorite in the whole series, and it is worthy of the "original smasher", but it is really difficult to find a second movie like this, making a top-notch and obscure philosophical theatrical animation, the movie I lost half of the release, and it is difficult for audiences who have watched Attack in the Shell to fully understand the whole story, let alone passer-by audiences.
This article has a lot of discussions about the fusion of human self-awareness and sex robots, the standard for measuring a doll and why children are in a mess outside of human self-awareness. So the first time, of course, there was a daigo empowerment, but after the aftertaste, I couldn't conclude anything.
The art style scene design is simply unique in Japanese animation. When Bart and others went to a special economic zone to collect evidence, they inserted some Hokkien-style parades and native Japanese architectural styles, forming two extremes of interweaving with the surrounding rusted metal towers. Kenji Kawai's self-created singing style on the basis of coloratura is an unforgettable element throughout the film.
The whole movie is a masterpiece in my fantasy, of course, it is not an objective evaluation for me. There won't be a second movie like this.
