I'm just after finishing the final film now. The reason why my history is dominated by it is because it's a sequence of 7 films, so they have to be listed individually instead of as one like a regular series.
It is very good but it's also very confusing. It's told out of chronological order and has a very convoluted storyline. Lots of stuff went right over my head. I'll definitely need to watchit again some time to fully understand it. The best thing about it is the animation. It's absolutely fantastic, even better than redline in some respects. The main character is very intersting too, as are a lot of the others. I just didn't manage to piece together the story properly. It kind of reminds me of Ergo Proxy, with how confusing it can be. It's much better than that though. I gave each episode very high scores here but I don't think I can fully judge it until I watch it again. I would definitely recommend it though.
There are two dubs. The voice acting in the second dub is significantly better. I haven't seen it in quite a long time but I do remember being amazed at the visuals when I watched it and considering how long it has been since its release it has aged remarkably well in that area. I don't think I understood a lot about what was going on either but I don't think it really matters. That's often the case with Mamoru Oshii's films as well.
I know. It's a fine going by the rankings here. I just think it's better than fine.

I was thinking of reviewing some anime I've watched but I don't know which one.
