Summary

Cover image for Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence

When machines learn to feel, who decides what is human?

It is the year 2032 and Earth is a world where the few remaining humans coexist with artificial replicants, cyborgs and robots. Batou, a cyborg detective and his partner, Togusa are charged with investigating the bizarre case of a malfunctioning female sex droid that has murdered its owner. As they delve deeper into the investigation they are forced to confront violent Yakuza thugs, devious hackers, influential government bureaucrats and powerful corporate criminals.

Painstakingly created by Production IG and director, Mamoru Oshii, Innocence seamlessly combines groundbreaking 2-D and 3-D CG animation techniques to product an action-packed, sci-fi fable of a solitary cyborg struggling to retain what's left of his humanity in a world where the human soul is gradually fading into obscurity. This deluxe double disc set features a brand new English language soundtrack starring the original American voice cast and never before seen extras.
