Title: Surprisingly engaging stories.
Product review: Wednesday, September 08, 2004 / 4 of 5 / Surprisingly engaging stories.The move from bigscreen to smaller scale is apparent in scope, but these short collections from the world of Ghost in the Shell are pretty good on their own. Particularly compelling in this one is the story of a designer who puts his mind into a renegade mecha tank and then uses it to head out to meet up with his parents regardless of hardware in his way. The android story reminded me of Cherry 2000; but despite the derivate episode I was pleased with the calibre of artwork and voice acting for the dub. There are four episodes with the fourth being a cliffhanger to bridge to the next volume to be released at the end of Sept. One thing I did notice was that the major in these short stories is played with a bit more emotion than the movie, less melancholia and soul searching. Recommended.
