Innocence [Blu-ray]

From Amazon

In the near future, people are cybernetically transformed. A series of incidents involving girl-like pet robots going out of control and killing humans is occurring frequently. Detective Batou of Public Security Section 9, investigating the incidents, is hindered by his own brain being hacked, but he continues to uncover the truth... This highly anticipated sequel to "Ghost in the Shell," released in 1995, is director Mamoru Oshii's first animated film in nine years. The protagonist from the previous film, Motoko Kusanagi, also makes an appearance. The sheer volume of visuals, enhanced by gorgeous CG, and the amount of "Zen riddles" that occasionally stray from the suspenseful plot, far surpass the previous film. While unashamedly complex, this work's key feature is its easy empathy for the silent cyborg Batou. The "future" depicted here is one dominated by machines and the internet, yet is also incredibly emotional. This is surely the ultimate answer to the question posed in the previous work: "What is a human being, and what is a soul?" (Yasukawa Shogo)
