Bato is a living cyborg. His whole body, even his arms and legs, are entirely man-made. What only remains are traces of his brain and the memories of a woman. In an era when the boundary between humans and machines has become infinitely vague, Humans have forgotten that they are humans. This is the debauchery of the lonesome ghost of a man, who nevertheless seeks to retain humanity. Innocence... Is what life is.

Movie Quote(s):
- Bateau: No matter how far a jackass travels, it won't come back a horse.
-
Major Motoko Kusanagi: We weep for a bird's cry, but not for a fish's blood. Blessed are those with a voice. If the dolls also had voices, they would have screamed, "I didn't want to become human."
-
[first title cards]: In a future time when most human thought has been accelerated by artificial intelligence and external memory can be shared on a universal matrix, Batou, an agent of the elite Section 9 Security Force and a being so artificially modified as to be essentially cyborg, is assigned, along with his mostly human partner, Togusa, to investigate a series of gruesome murders.
-
Togusa: How great is the sum of thy thoughts? If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand. Bateau: Psalms 139, Old Testament. The way you spout these spontaneous exotic references, I'd say your own external memory's pretty twisted.
-
Togusa: His legions, angel forms, who lay entranced. Thick as autumnal leaves that strow the brooks. Bateau: Now you're quoting Milton, but we are not Satan.
Movie Trivia:
- This is the first ever anime film to be nominated for the Palme d'Or in the Cannes International Film Festival in 2004. It is the 6th animated film to enter the competition at Cannes.
-
The 5-minute parade sequence took a year to complete.
-
Director and Writer 'Mamoru Oshî' put a basset hound in the picture because he is a fan of the breed and owns one himself. He makes a reference to his own basset hound, Gabriel, in the scene inside Batô's apartment where the dog figurine plays music.
-
The set used for the store scene was painstakingly created entirely with computer graphics.
-
The music-box tune in Kim's mansion was actually recorded in a large outdoor space, because the sound engineer wasn't sure if he could alter the music electronically to have an authentic feel in 5.1-channel surround sound.
