THE GHOST IN THE SHELL

The year is 2029. In near-future Japan, where the world has become highly information-intensive, with a vast corporate network covering the planet, electrons and light pulsing through it. But the nation-state and ethnic groups still survive. Motoko Kusanagi, a full-body cyborg, leads an elite combat unit, including Batou. While commanding her team, Kusanagi envisions the creation of a specialized task force to preemptively strike against emerging threats. Meanwhile, Daisuke Aramaki of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, who had been planning to establish a similar unit, recruited Kusanagi and her team. Together, they begin operations as Public Security Section 9--an offensive tactical unit known as "Shell Squad." As they confront complex cybercrimes and international conspiracies, the existence of a mysterious, unidentified hacker known as The "Puppet Master" emerges on the horizon of their investigation. What fate awaits Kusanagi? And what is the Puppet Master's true objective? A new era of cyberpunk action begins. (Source:攻殻機動隊 THE GHOST IN THE SHELL Site)
