"Life and death come and go like marionettes dancing on a table. Once their stings are cut, they easily crumble." - writing on the wall, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence The ghost in the shell series is probably my favorite anime series of all time, including all the movies / series I've seen so far. It has the technological future we hope to one day see with the advancement of science, but presents us with questions about what it means to be human. The story line itself, as it is the second movie is a continuation of the first movie. If I where to reviewthe movie based upon the storyline itself, that would be the weakest point but still at a solid 8.
