Lacking much of the philosophical aspects the series had traditionally had. Very much just an action flick, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. Just that, I expect more from the GitS series. Even the "Arise" series -- which is probably the weakest of all GitS -- had some of the philosophical and meta things that really makes the series interesting. Storywise, thought it was a little convoluted. Was hard to follow who was fighting who and for what reason. Not even really sure the ending really explained any of that. Though, perhaps, it was left that way for future releases. Some of the English voice acting wasjarring. Not sure why, but Chief Aramaki's voice actor has been replaced. And the voice doesn't fit him at all. Same goes with some of the other team members. The voice acting just doesn't fit the characters as we've seen them before.

Somewhat along the same topic, it seems that some of the personalities have been changed as well. Characters who don't speak all that much seem, do so more often, without necessarily adding anything to the story.

At the very least, it was entertaining.
