In 2032, cyborgs and humans do more than simply coexist, indeed pieces of each frequently inhabit the same body. This is the case with Section 9 cyber-cop Batou, a cyborg with bits of a human brain that contain the memories of a woman. He's assigned to investigate the murder-suicide of an erotic 'droid who offed her master. Based on the eponymous Japanese manga, but with an original storyline. Also subtitled "Inosensu". Scoring 61% from 82 reviews on Rotten TomatoesReviews summary
Mamoru Oshii makes animated films that are as serious as a heart attack.
Philosophical chattering becomes wearisome, dazzling animation
Visually stunning, mentally numbing
For anyone who wants to see animation pushed to it's limits
Tedious rumination on blurring distinctions betwen man and machine
Simply too handsome to ignore, Breathtakingly beautiful

Ghost in the Shell is a great anime, even though it can confuse the heck out of me sometimes. I especially like the TV series, with the tough yet hot commander.
Never heard of the series, but Ghost in the Shell I and II were excellent movies, half-arsed american critics would never be able to grasp. 61%... Pah... I wonder how much Titanic scoers at Rotten Tomatoes (but will not bother to find out)
(standing ovation for Gnome) indeed once again i find myself agreeing with you, which is turning into an agreeable habit.
Gamer C, like gnome i've never seen the series, or indeed the hot toughie.....and now i feel im missing out......(runs of to the net to look for rough totty)
Mighty agreeable...
