Another movie in the Ghost in the Shell universe, tackling an unsolved case from the main plot of the show. This time we tackle the Laughing Man case. I wont go into detail to avoid spoilers but this one takes the team everything they've got to solve this case with the Laughing Man being a person right in front of them the entire time, or perhaps he was everywhere to begin with?
Story: It makes you think and will keep your attention, and want you to find every possible detail you can find.
Animation: Some very nice animation is used once again for this film. Ghost in the Shell has some of the nicest animation despite it going on in age.
Sound: Voice acting is excellent and actually better in dubbed, sound quality of enviroment, weapons, etc is also crisp clear.
Character: All of our favorite people from the main show are here as well as new faces, all of them making the movie worth watching.
Enjoyment: Its Ghost in the Shell, you're gonna enjoy this.

it used clips from the show but all of the voice acting was redone, most of the time with different actors, for example in the show the laughing man sounds like a kid but in this he sounds like an adult with a deep voice, and alot of the words were changed completely form what they said in the show and you don't learn anything new from this it's just a 3-Hour recap of the first season of the show.As for disk 2 THERES NOTHING ON IT! the best they hav is a 2min episode of tachicomic days and an awesome trailer to one of my fav animes Eureka seven. but both of those I'm sure you can find on you tube or something.I found this a compleat WASTE of $30(Canadian).
