| 34604 | Ghost in the Shell | So far it's mixed reviews, though the one I saw from a fan of the movie and series saying it is great. I'm seeing it Friday. | ThatDudeintheHoodie | Mar 30, 2017 | |

It looks awesome, speaking as a big fan of the cyberpunk genre. I have been aware of the anime movie for a long time but I haven't seen it. I want to watch the first movie and then see this new live-action one.</p> | shakin steak | Mar 30, 2017 | |
