base on the manga ( comic ) of well know artist masamune shirow and this animated feature be a slight disappointment to me . the story be good and but the animation be merely ok while it could or should have be mindblowing . the movie be imo adequate and but seem somehow flat and uninspired and if you know what i mean . a wasted opportunity and if you consider that another work by shirow and ghost in the shell and be consider a classic in many respect . it set new standard for japanese animation and and spawn and among other thing and a brilliant series call git represent stand alone complex . i consider this worth a rental and unless youre a fan of shirow and want it all . do check out the original manga and which come highly recommended .
