Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
When machines learn to feel, who decides what is human...
Cyborg detective Batou is assigned to investigate a series of murders committed by gynoids—doll-like cyborgs, which all malfunctioned, killed, then self-destructed afterwards. The brains of the gynoids initialize in order to protect their manufacturer's software, but in one gynoid, which Batou himself neutralized, one file remains: a voice speaking the phrase "Help me."

Some call Oshii pretentious
and they very well might be right.
This one is probably too high-brow for it's own good, but I still loved it.
Exploring the GitS themes through Batou is a welcome change of pace; the visuals are mind-boggling, and the flawed pacing was OK with me.
Overall, probably a fantastic failure, but worth a see.
