MY FINAL THOUGHT AND SCORE

This is one of the best films I have seen which is a part of the next generation of futuristic animation. This film has one of the best sound tracks available so far and some of the best animated backdrops that I have seen in some time, and a storyline that is just wonderful. Not many films can match the awesomeisity of GITS, with its design and action. This is a must see film for all manga fans, and you will no doubt see a truely wonderous film.
