The details are exquisite - especially cloth effects and character motions. The animation is superb, and used to unusual effect.

It has also some nice reflections on what it means to be human - things you may ask of yourself after the movie finishes ('Who knows what's inside our heads. This is what makes rewatching it so enjoyable. The story,thank god, is not dumbed down for the average viewer. The whole storyline might not be quite as complicated as understanding some 'Aeon Fluxx' episodes, but you have to rewatch the story to get a feel for the interconnection of the different players - especially if you are not familiar with the Ghost in the Shell literature. Especially in the English version you will have to make the connection between MoFA, MF, MFA and Ministry of Foreign Affairs, that is easy to get confused over. A word on the story: No, you will probably not 'get' the story the first time around. After the '2501' monologue the story really comes together and you start to be eager for story development instead of just looking for the many details and extravagant action sequences. While watching it for the first time I had always this nagging feeling that some such scene would turn up and ruin the truly stunning visuals. But 'Ghost in the Shell' shines here brightly. This is where 'Final Fantasy' went down the drain.
This is (the only part) where 'Akira' failed. Now when I watch anime I usually expect (and dread) the scene which will explain something about the fundamental nature of life, the universe, or whatever.
An interesting plot, deep thoughts, nice dialog, hot chicks, cool action, neat tech, and animation that puts everything to shame which has ever been produced in the western world. I'd thought I'd seen good anime when a friend brought me 'Akira', but this one is just awesome.
