Sorry for the double post but I do have a review to add Ghost in the ShellSet in a not to distant future Ghost in the Shell is an impressive science fiction film that just happens to be animated, so don't be put off if you think "cartoons are for children". The film contains plenty of action and a plot which is up there with films like The Matrix, in fact this film was a major inspiration for The Matrix. In this strange, almost dystopian, future some people have been augmented with cybernetic implants and other people are in fact fully cybernetic. One such person is Major Motoko Kusanagi, an officer working for Section Nine. They are a tasked with finding "The Puppetmaster" a mysterious computer hacker who has been hacking into people's implants to control them and even give them false memories. While on the case Motoko questions the nature of her existence; while she may be artificial she is has both self awareness and emotions and is thus to all intents and purposes alive. The animation is of a high standard and is filmed in a way that makes it feel more like a live action film, for example characters don't show exaggerated facial expressions like huge smiles that are impossibly large as one tends to get in animation. If fact the animation was such that I often forgot I was watching an animated film and enjoyed it as a great sci-fi thriller along the lines of Blade Runner or The Matrix. Some people might be put off by the nudity early on in the film although this is desexualised and is given some justification in the plot. If you like sci-fi I'd recommend giving this film a go even if you don't usually watch animated films. These comments are based on watching the film in Japanese with English subtitles. 9/10

I'd buy Last Exile off of you if I lived in Australia. I didn't think it was that bad. No, it's not bad. If it was bad, I wouldn't care; I just wouldn't watch it. It's just... I like most of the characters, and I even kinda like the premise of the show, but it just went so horribly wrong in so many ways.
