Omschrijving
Mamoru Oshii’s Ghost in the Shell (1995) was seminal in bringing anime to the big screen in the west and its heady combination of cyberpunk and philosophy has made it a hallmark in anime history. It should come as no surprise, then, that audiences were a little wary of Oshii’s plans to release a sequel. Luckily, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence more than lives up to its predecessor’s fame. When several gynoids – female sex robots – malfunction and cause customers’ deaths, Batou and Togusa are sent to investigate the gynoid company LOCUS SOLUS. Soon they uncover a plot that involves hacking and homicide, as well as a practice called “ghost-dubbing”, which imbues the gynoids with human souls.
