I got this movie from an old friend of mine on a VHS when I was 14 or 15 and I couldn't quit watching this movie, along with Akira and Perfect Blue. I still have the VHS of GITS as a matter of fact. It's the special edition with the 30 minute making-of documentary at the end of the movie.
@Ajmauritz If those lyrics don't describe Motoko to a tee, i don't know what does. In a way, it touches each person involved in Section 5. Masterful movie, series and patiently awaiting the 3rd release of this series. Still going strong and like the description says under the movie...still ahead of its time.
How old were you when you saw this movie? i was 14 sixteen years ago after being impressed by Akira, i saw great reviews on this even on the city's library local internet and of course magazines, i bought this on my 15th birthday that year with Akira and left an impression on me.
Did you also watched Akira at that age like me? and did you grew up with stuff like Unico 1 & 2, Jack and The Beanstalk (Anime 1975), Warriors of the Wind (the 1985 New World butchery of Nausicaa), Mysterious Cities of Gold, The Last Unicorn, Thundercats, Flight of Dragons etc.?
@mptyyegdlc There are rumors, but the problem is who will take it? Funimiation is the only one putting anime out anymore. Wish more companies would step up and put out quality anime. To answer the 3rd movie, that has been released. Its called Solid State Society. You find out that the major is suspected in some conspiracy, but she is still rogue. togusa has taken her place as head and this movie i think takes place 2 or 3 years after GITS :Innocence. Wonderful music and movie by the by.
@Capric0rn Did i ever say that it was section five? someone asked me what track was playing when they were deep diving.... and I said track five.. sorry for the slip up if I did
@shioriryukaze I quote "If those lyrics don't describe Motoko to a tee, i don't know what does. In a way, it touches each person involved in Section 5." - That's what you said :P And no problem :)
This really fits into Ghost in the Shell, and I'm surprised it wasn't in the original Japanese soundtrack. I mean, the percussion sounds like Kenji Kawai and even those baby glitch voices sound like Major Kusanagi.
forgive me if this sounds out of the subject , but can anybody please give me the name of that song were Motoko is submerged into the ocean and she floats back up like a mirror and batou is in the boat. I'm talking bout that scene
@JAYCZero not off the subject.... the original OST actually kind of follows the movie so go to amazon.com and look up the track list. I know virtual crime is the song playing when motoko and batou is talking before ghost city (track five) and so it could be access or nightstalker. wonderful ost
God, I wish the Major would beat the daylights out of me, then make love to me, then marry me. I really wish I'd seen this movie before The Matrix, instead of the other way around.
It's about damn time somebody uploaded this on youtube. XD Believe it or not, I've been looking for this since "Whisper of the Beast" came out, that famous Naruto AMV.
I know it's not the original ending song that Oshii intended for GitS... but god, I do love this song. And it does fit Ghost in the Shell. Maybe it'd be better off in Stand Alone Complex than the movies, but still...
better quality IN ANY WAY

A lonesome soul
In an old black boat
A lonesome frown
What a way to go
Chasing though
The strings to hold
In in an old black coat
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul
A lonesome soul

It's just the ending that fits with the english dub version. Oshii never puts in english songs in his own work.
