Honestly, I have to wonder what Production I.G and Sanzigen could have been thinking. There are moments where the animation dips fairly low. That said, I don’t personally like this movie. If you do that, you probably won’t hate it as much as I do. My best advice is set your expectations low going into it. Given just who was involved with this movie (this has to do with the Ghost in the shell rant), I expected more than what I got. I wasn’t able to do that because I went into the movie entirely blind, and to me it was a waste of my time. You just have to understand what you’re getting into. That said the movie is entertaining to a point. As far as clean narratives are concerned, that’s a problem. The manga chapters had slight alterations to the movie, but then, it makes me wonder if this movie was actually made for the manga or something else, which makes sense because of its second-class quality.There’s no subtlety here, it’s all much too overbearing. There were a few chapters of pre-anime release manga that can be easily searched online. But this time around, 'thought-provoking' was an ingredient clearly missing - like an empty shell. Overall, A fan or anyone familiar with their works would expect something thought-provoking out of the movie. They were trying to milk out a juice I call 'character's thoughts' especially right at the end, which I felt was still poorly executed There seemed to be a critical lack of interaction of events with each other, And this in my opinion was more serious an issue than the lack of interaction between characters because you need events to correlate with each other well to make difficult concepts in sci-fi materials approachable to the audience. The lack of dialogue between the characters was not the problem, but I expected something more systematic instead of jumping through events as if they had no significance to the bigger picture. Kenji Kawai's scores this time around had no new tune to them, almost sounded like recycled from his own previous works. However this movie felt to me like these guys went back to school, or maybe they were not trying to surpass their previous works.

You also have Kenji Kawai, who produced some of the best soundtrack ever heard in sci-fi series. This was especially so given his experiences in bringing out hidden 'human' values through cyborgs in his GITS series. You have Kenji Kamiyama, who is understandably the perfect guy for this movie, having directed some well-known works like Eden of the East.

When I glanced through the names of the production team behind this movie, I honestly expected a lot out of it.
