[ Story ]
Oshii Mamoru, the visionary mind behind animated sci-fi hit Ghost In The Shell (1995), makes his long-awaited return to feature animation with this visually stunning, thought-provoking sequel.
One night in 2032 in Tokyo, now a metropolis where robots and humans co-exist amidst a cybernetic network, female pleasure androids begin to go berserk and kill their masters. With his mostly human partner Togusa in tow, cyborg detective Batou is assigned to investigate what his superiors see as a possible terrorist threat. Through coming in contact with robots of all shapes and purposes, he begins to question his very existence. As they delve deeper into the opaque recesses of their society, Batou's consciousness itself is hacked and his grip on reality becomes increasingly tenuous. The roots of the conspiracy are exposed upon journeying to a mysterious mansion in the independent trade zone of Hokkaido, but it leads Batou into a trap and he is saved only by the intervention of his incorporeal former partner, Kusanagi Motoko. He solves the case with her help, and Motoko once again recedes into the vast expanses of the network.
