Here's a review of a little film that goes by the name Ghost in the Shell. Personally I don't think I should have to review it as everyone should have watched it or at least heard of it by now. Without a doubt, Ghost in the Shell is an title that changed anime forever.

The year is 2029. An secret Japanese Police division, Section Nine, investigates all facets of cybercrime. Major Kusanagi searches for a cyber criminal leading to a person known as the Puppet Master, a hacker who is capable of penetrating even the strongest of the world?s Internet firewalls. Most of the film is based on the link between body, mind and consciousness ? but not in a confusing "Matrix" way.

Astounding artwork and animation are accompanied by a deeply philosophical plot that comments on the importance of singular thought and the effect of technology on the body. The animation itself contains some beautiful CGI which co-exists the screen without detracting from the traditional animation.

The entire film is scored by Kenji Kawai conveying a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack utilizing traditional Japanese instruments with a futuristic flavour.

Ghost in the Shell is one of a select few anime titles that are responsible for a new wave of otaku being born and instantly hooked on the visually stylings and masterful story telling of modern anime.

All that aside, Ghost in the Shell is an absolute classic that must be watched by all. It looks super dooper cool and the action is butt-kickin!
