Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 — Season 2

Critics Reviews

Sam Barsanti AV Club The action is a little more dynamic and the art style is easier to get used to, though the character designs are still lousy and there’s an abundance of incredibly dull backgrounds and sets. Rated: C- May 28, 2022 Full Review Charles Hartford But Why Tho? A Geek Community Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045 Season 2 is a solid step up from its predecessor. Thanks to not squandering half its season on setup, this time around, the gang get into the action fast, delivers some tense moments, and even crafts an intriguing story. Apr 15, 2023 Full Review Panos Kotzathanasis Asian Movie Pulse The contextual intricacy of the previous installments is nowhere to be found, and the dumbed-down approach is evident throughout, essentially deeming the title one only addressed to people who have no clue of the original. Rated: 4 Jan 2, 2023 Full Review David Hogan hoganreviews.co.uk The second season is an improvement over the first, though only because we’re into the meat of the new core story. If I looked at both series overall I’d still say it’s easily skippable, especially given the rough-looking animation. Rated: 3/5 Jun 14, 2022 Full Review Claire Napier Polygon It is a lesser life-form, and it is starving to death for lack of inspiration. Jun 9, 2022 Full Review Jonathon Wilson Ready Steady Cut It’s nice to see the long-time actors still being committed to the franchise, but it often serves as a reminder of how much the franchise itself seems to be oddly uncommitted to itself.
