A.D. 2034. It has been two years since Motoko Kusanagi left Section 9. Togusa is now the new leader of the team, that has considerably increased its appointed personnel. The expanded new Section 9 confronts a rash of complicated incidents, and investigations reveal that an ultra-wizard hacker named the Puppeteer is behind the entire series of events.
In the midst of all, Batou, who was stalking the case on a separate track, encounters Motoko. She goes away after saying, “Stay away from the Solid State Society.” Batou is left with a doubt in his mind. Could Motoko be the the Puppeteer?
The film is exceptionally well done, and I found the ending a great tribute to the original. As Motoko reflects on her inability to bring herself to break free of the restraints placed upon her, the shot pulls out to show the city at night and she repeats the now infamous line, “The net is indeed vast and infinite.”
