I believe I know enough about GITS now to formally write a review. I first saw GITS when I was about 12 or 13, and since then have bought the DVD and watched it around 15 times or so. Many people complain that the nudity, language, and violence 'hurt' the film's image, but you have to remember that its a downplay from the rather more explicit Manga. Yes, Motoko has breasts, now get over it (plus they're cybernetic, so I don't see what the problem is). Yes, a man's head explodes in a shower of blood. Yes, the police force flings out curse words; would you expect them to say "goshdarnit he got away"? GITS delves deep into the human psyche, and attempts to unravel philosophical mysteries. Even after so many viewings, choice scenes still mystify me with their complexity and trail of reasoning. Despite all of these 'content' complaints hurled at GITS, I recommend seeing it for yourself and getting some part of the experience I felt, of feeling much dumber. Don't forgot to see the sequel, which has even more philosophical questions sans the 'distasteful' content.

GitS is an awesome film but be forewarned that it is really 16+ and it has many issues. There is a LOT of nudity (which offended me a little bit). Also there's graphic violence and some strong language like f**k, s**t, and a**hole. I still like this movie.

While quite an entertaining film, the content is something to worry about. Nudity and language scar what could have been at least a low PG-13 rated film. While the nudity is not shown in a sexual way it was uncalled for and unneeded. The language, while not overly thrown into the dialogue was still some pretty strong stuff. I believe there were either 2 or 3 F-words. While a fun watch, it is not for the whole family. 16+ on this title.
