The perfect anime movie for action movie lovers.
absolutely amazing, transcendental cinema.
Waaay ahead of its time. Explorative in themes transcending the flesh and consciousness. Incredible film and score. Great cyberpunk piece.
One of my favorite animated features. Visually stunning, and a story that establishes nice roots for other cyberpunk stories to follow
Great anime. One historic movie concerning topics 30 years later.
For a 1995 film, this was a solid watch.
This movie blows your mind. It's amazing.
Great animation and artwork but I got kinda lost in the muck of the existential questions of being.
An intellectual, animated classic. Deals with topics that are just as interesting and thought provoking now as they were 20 years ago.
What is it to be human? Not an original question for sure, but it’s handled well and with great character development in this anime classic!
