Not bad! If you’re a fan of the ARISE series, this is a nice way of capping it off. It’s as convoluted and scientific psycho-babble as that series, and the original GITS series and movies too. I suppose if you were expecting something as revolutionary, or at least a cult hit, like the original GITS movie, you’d be disappointed. It’s more of an engaging sci-fi intrigue ride, rather than a head turner. Animation was fantastic, and the action scenes were high quality, as you’d expect from the franchise. I can certainly see people’s disappointment in this movie, but if you’re a GITS fan overall it’sworth the watch. If anything, you’ll get some cheeky retro continuity at the end too. To be honest, it makes me want to re-watch the Stand Alone Complex series again! As someone who’s seen every GITS feature, including all movies, multiple series, and the compilation movies (GITS SAC Laughing Man & Individual 11), I’m just happy to get more GITS.
