If you like sci-fi and / or anime, you will enjoy this movie. If you like both, you will love this movie. It's considered a classic for a reason, though to be honest- there's more than one reason. Also, this movie sets the stage for the Stand Alone Complex- a great series, overall.

GITS started a franchise which now includes 3 movies, 2 anime seasons and several games. This film was the first step (based on the manga/graphic novels) and it sets itself apart from others in the genre. The film is very well animated, both in quality and in frame-rate (as some anime use lower frame-rates to stay within budget.) The story, one of a puppet-master hacker being chased by the police, starts off simple but ramps up into much more, both climatically and philosophically as it's not afraid to delve into topics like personal identity, self-preservation, and what qualifies as a soul. At only 82 minutes, the film is short, but it doesn't feel that way. There are a few scenes that slow the narrative (though not much if you care for the interesting choral music that plays during these scenes.) The English dub is fairly good and shares 2 of the voice actors that went on to do the TV series. Overall, the movie's only flaws are ones that could be fixed with a few more scenes: it could have spent a little more time developing its characters and its ideas, and adding a little more action. Overall, though, its very well done and while it's no Princess Mononoke (which came out a few years later,) it's definately worth picking up, for those who want a mature title that makes them think while entertaining them.Read full review
A fine example of the genre, well deserving of its plaudits.

The classic cyberpunk Masterpiece by Shirow is an opus in anime storytelling. Fyi, this is a condensed not verbatim adaptation of his classic manga. Advised to read the manga first before watching this. You won't be disappointed!
