Entertainment Reviews:
Too talky and philosophical for kids, and dabbling in lavish imagery that lacks enough narrative coherence to hook adults, this is an animated feature that, well, needed to get a little more animated.
Long Island Press
Much like Akira in the 1980s, this is the film that sets the standard by which all others of its kind are judged - and usually found wanting.

With its themes of human arrogance, wastefulness, creativity, and the definitions and limits of life and the mind, Innocence is pretty heavy. It's also visually stunning.

[H]and-drawn and computer-generated animation techniques are blended to create one of the most visually arresting motion pictures you are likely to see this year.
Los Angeles Times
Rating: 4/5 --
Occasional passages of shell-cracking egghead overload aside, there's no getting past Innocence's astounding visual power.

Gone is much of the bombast of the original...

[The film] could be comfortably double-billed with Richard Linklater's animated journey of ideas WAKING LIFE.

Product Description:
Director Mamoru Oshii follows up his adaptation of Masamune Shirow's manga in the Animé film GHOST IN THE SHELL 2: INNOCENCE. Similar in concept and theme to the cyberpunk classic BLADE RUNNER, GHOST IN THE SHELL features a future where humans can modify their bodies with technology and live side-by-side with androids. A few years after the original film, police cyborg Bato is still mourning the loss of his partner Motoko. Bato and his new partner Togusa undertake an investigation of a series of seedy murders of wealthy men at the hands of their malfunctioning sex-androids. Expanding on the subject matter of the first film, their inquiry leads to a consideration of the true differences, if any, between humans and the artificial beings they create. GHOST IN THE SHELL 2 combines action, philosophy, and breathtaking animated visuals; and was nominated for the Palme d'Or at the 2004 Cannes Film Festival.
