Synopsis: The anime's story is set in 2027, one year after the end of the fourth non-nuclear war. New Port City is still reeling from the war's aftermath when it suffers a bombing caused by a self-propelled mine. Then, a military member implicated in arms-dealing bribes is gunned down. During the investigation, Public Security Section's Daisuke Aramaki encounters Motoko Kusanagi, the cyborg wizard-level hacker assigned to the military's 501st Secret Unit. Batou, a man with the "eye that does not sleep," suspects that Kusanagi is the one behind the bombing. The Niihama Prefectural Police detective Togusa is pursuing his own dual cases of the shooting death and a prostitute's murder. Motoko herself is being watched by the 501st Secret Unit's head Kurutsu and cyborg agents.
Necropinion: back in 1995 when I wasn't very familiar with anime series and less about movies besides the most accessible, like Akira and Ninja Scroll I was really impressed while watching the first GitS (still amazing for its time!)... that got me interested instantly in other Shirow's mangas and their adaptations like Appleseed or Dominion Tank Police so now that I saw Border:1 Ghost Pain, a similar title to the latest Metal Gear game I can't wait for B:2 Ghost Whispers in Nov. 30th and the rest from this tetralogy ^^ Ex: very high - PS 9/10
