COMMUNITY REVIEWS
Seminal work, but mostly for its animation submitted by valjean on August 9, 2018, 8:37pm The overwhelming beauty of this movie still holds up today. The story was pretty good at the time, but nowadays to the modern person, it might seem pretty bland. However, it really can't be stressed enough how gorgeous this film is.
Ghost In The Shell submitted by SBNB on June 20, 2019, 6:43pm Matrix-esque. Weird. Somewhat predictable. It was enjoyable enough, but I wouldn’t watch it again.
SBNB MUST BEEN WATCHING SOMETHING ELSE submitted by mellonir on October 27, 2019, 6:20am To SBNB: "Matrix-esque" proves you weren't watching.
Favorite anime of all time! submitted by dave_472 on July 19, 2020, 1:37pm This was my favorite anime, Akira is a close second. The playstation game was cool too!
