well
It's awesome if you don't mind Motoko being topless in most of the movie. It's best if you watch it once you're out of the house because it will make parents uncomfortable. It's good for single guys who like violence and boobs, though.

Questionable Content Abounds in Entertaining Film
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.

There technically isn't any nudity. There robots. Some swears and violence.

Very Beautiful Film, but Keep an Eye Out for 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.

Barbara Chandler - worlds dumbest person
I have not seen this movie I just want to say something about the "review" that Barbara Chandler wrote; first off about 80% of the animes out there are not intended for children and before I buy a film I always do research on it, that's common sense (which is ironic given the name of this website, most of you parents seem to lack common sense). Also how can you say that the cover looks like a family film, it has a naked female with a gun on it, yeh that screams FOR FAMILY VIEWING!!! Secondly, I do not give into that brainwashing, predjudice, hypocritical cult you call Christianity, but the art and paintings of Christianity always have some form of nudity in them and Adam and Eve were naked in Eden, I also don't understand why God would want some thing natural that he "created" covered up, so you statement about God I call B*LLSH*T!!! Finally why are you blaming the film, for something that is clearly your falut? Why do you want it banned and runin it for many people that actally like this film, just because you're an irrespnsible parent? How f*cking selfish of you. You're either the worlds dumbest person or you're a troll, but hey what do I expect from the monronic over protective parents of america.

EVERYONE CALM DOWN
The film is amazing and i personally think people need to calm down. parents are convinced that children see a breast and we are scarred for life. Ok so admittedly its not for young kids nor immature kids, but i am a 14 year old girl, i watched it and loved it, it sits proudly next to my other anime dvds. the point is the nudity is tasteful, not sexual or erotic. The nudity is needed to set the scene in a way, when they create the robot, do you expect them to have censors? anyone overreacting is probably protective of their child, and if they are protective of their child, it makes them an idiot to have not considered the 15 age rating!! it is an amazing films about phycological issues which dazzle me! go watch it right now its amazing!!!.. if you are not going to faint -_-
