Viewing Notes
Thought I had seen this one before but if I have then I didn’t recall any of it. Wouldn’t surprise me if so because this is drenched in politico-terrorism between the police and military and government and oh I don’t care anymore. It’s crazy to me that Oshii is so absorbed with the drama aspect and less on the potential action between mechs and whatnot. What little action there is works well but the plot line never grabbed me.
