Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
A total of 13 LJ folks (and 1 loner that I'm sure felt completely left out ;) ) joined us for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence last night.
"Ghost in the Shell" was the first anime I was exposed to many years ago, whenchernobylred decided that it was something that I'd enjoy. With such an excellent introduction, I've been a pretty large fan of anime ever since -- but before last night, I'd never seen one in the theater. So it was only appropriate that the first anime I saw in the theater was its sequel. And although I did have high expectations, I wasn't the least bit disappointed.
I very much enjoyed the movie, though I will definitely need to see it again. And from talking to and reading other's responses, I don't think I'm alone in that regard. In fact, the first thing several people said to me as I walked out of the theater was "That was beautiful! Are you going to have to see it again?" ;)
As with the prequel, there was a good amount of philosophy to pay attention too - but I have to admit that I was so distracted by the beauty of the movie that I had trouble completely understanding the story. I won't post any more details here for the sake of those who haven't yet seen it. But suffice to say: if you're a fan of anime, see this one on the big screen.
