Audience Member Ghost in the Shell is back, baby! I have only seen the first two films and not Stand Alone Complex, but this action packed remake is solid. It does different things with the characters, and adds new ones. The storyline is trippy and very noir like, so its an enjoyable cyber punk reboot that can introduce new viewers to the franchise. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/05/23 Full Review Audience Member The prequel series kicks off with a bang. Features cyborg land-mines, false memories, and a brutal fight. It's a treat to see the genesis of Section 9. Majors' eyes are creepy, but the animation is solid. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/21/23 Full Review Audience Member Prequel to Ghost in the Shell SAC series... Excellent Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review troy k The best kind of anime. Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member it is brilliant a perfect origin story to ghost in the shell cant wait for the next 3 movies Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/10/23 Full Review Audience Member Kazuchika Kise and Masahiko Murata's <i>Ghost in the Shell Arise - Border 1: Ghost Pain</i> is sci-fi anime bliss.<p>50 minutes proves to be enough to tell a solid cyber-crime story. The plot details require attention with the possibility of multiple viewings to fully engulf, but ultimately the writing pays off as a solid story unfolds. If there is any gripe to be had, it is the lack of explanations in regards to this highly technological universe in which the story takes place.</p><p>Visually, this animation's got it going on. The backgrounds and settings are a beauty, while the movements of the characters during the action scenes are smooth and pleasing to the eyes.</p><p>The voice-work of the cast match their respective characters. Maaya Sakamoto gets the honor to voice the great Motoko Kusanagi.</p><p><i>Ghost in the Shell Arise: Border 1:Ghost Pain</i> holds true for a serious science fiction animation. "6 people, huh?"</p> Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
