Audience Member I totally advise you to check out this film series is amazing. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/02/23 Full Review Audience Member The sequel to Ghost In The Shell: The laughing man is better left in it's original tv series format. Having watched both versions of each season (the original episodes in order and the chopped together film versions) they did a better version editing the first season into a coherent film than with 2nd Gig. The big problem is that this film is shorter than "The Laughing Man" and cuts a good 15 to 20 minutes worth of expletive that, without having watched the series, would have lost me. Namely a scene where section nine is investigating and defusing a nuclear bomb in the middle of an evacuated city. This is explained quite well in the series and it's absence is noticeable in the film version. It wouldn't have taken much to add those crucial moments in to the picture, but other than that the movie is right below the first in my book. If you loved the first movie, you'll love this movie as it packs as much action and story in as the first. If it weren't for the missing sections of the story that were oh so relevant, it would be even better.

Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/14/23 Full Review Audience Member The second season of SAC felt like a series of filler episodes that got tied together at the last minute by an overall story arc. Now normally I hate filler. So why did I give this 4 stars? Because it was 26 episodes of some of the best damn filler I have seen in years! There aren't many shows today being produced anywhere in the world that can give you a decent story from start to finish in 22 minutes. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/26/23 Full Review Audience Member Kenji Kamiyama returns with a fantastic second outing of the <i>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex</i> anime series.<p>As with "The Laughing Man" film, <i>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - Individual Eleven</i> is a compilation of the important pieces of important episodes of the second season of <i>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Along Complex</i>. Hence, 2nd GIG.</p><p>The run time is around 2 hours and 40 minutes and this isn't surprising, as a season consists of 20+ episodes. No matter how long it is, the futuristic high tech story is so engrossing that even during the slow parts, the film is never boring.</p><p>The visuals are just as superb as the story, and when it is combined with Kamiyama's directing, this becomes one heck of an animation.</p><p>Each of the major characters, as well as all smaller characters, have matching voice work that make this a film to take seriously. In English or Japanese, this is not a comedy to just sit back and relax with.</p><p><i>Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG - Individual Eleven</i> is for those that are already fans of the series. Superb animation, if I may say so.</p> Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
