A critically acclaimed animation of the year "Ghost in the Shell", this pilot movie started the famous Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex and a sequel movie. Anime was a huge craze in my area during the late 1999 till 2002 and one of the most talked about anime is the Ghost in the Shell movie, they often have shows and commercials mentioning this fabled anime movie, but I was unfortunate enough to watch it when it was aired. One day when I was at the mall with my sisters I found this particular video on the bargain bin, they were selling it at a give away price. As an anime fan I can't let this opportunity go by, so I grabbed the last copy and bought it. I haven't watched it for the second time, but it's pretty good and I would like to watch it again when I got the time.
