What can I say about this anime.... well really, plot just devolved horribly after the first part. I have always enjoyed the Ghost in the Shell series.. The original movie, the two Stand alone complex animes, and of course, Arise, but this movie is one MAJOR exception. One thing I had to realize with the GitS franchise, was that I wanted everything to be understandable, logical, and explainable. However, at certain points the plot there is just a tendency for it to "pull things outta its ***" and cleverly disguise it as being SO WELL thought out, that most people cant completely follow it.
...
This Movie takes THAT aspect of the series, and makes a movie out of it..... yeah, so it gets really tripy about halfway into the movie, and you just go along for the ride, and HOPE things get explained, but really it just falls into the realm of "well this is philosophically abstract..that there is really no point in exploring it.....but alas they try anyway". Essentially, by the end of the anime, there are just these strong vibes given off how, every other character is weaker, both physically and mentally to Bato, who seems just to be overly and unequally badass for no real reason.. and makes everyone else to be just look horribly pathetic. I seriously cant help feel that there is some weird reason behind this, like that the creator is championing Bato as an extension of himself and going on a power trip with him in the movie. All in all, the movie is just so abstract, that you cant really take away anything from it other than,..."ow my head" and knowing that it hurts not because I'm not getting something... but that there was nothing to get about it in the first place.
