Two original film themes adapted into one, is a little lazy, but makes for a better pace... right?Then they adapted it into a kind of prequel of how the characters became who they were in the 1995 original, so for someone who has been into pretty much everything GitS since it's inception, it's a bit of a curve ball. The plot gets a bit confusing compared to the original too, because of the 3 separate storylines merged into 1.
It's Visually exceptional, and very appealing like the originals, excellent CGI animated etc. However, I feel the character of the major is somehow wrong, they missed a lot of physical, and personal details that made her who she was. As beautiful as she is, the actress is too "naturally" attractive, not a manufacturing masterpiece, with some robotic reactions.
A very good effort, along with Alita battle angel (newer, and done better), it's definitely worth a look. Just watch the original GitS films first 👍🏼
