When a highly-wanted hacker known as 'The Puppetmaster' begins involving them in politics, Section 9, a group of cybernetically enhanced cops, are called in to investigate and stop the Puppetmaster. The pursuit will call into question what makes a human and what is the Puppetmaster in a world where the distinction between human and machine is increasingly blurry.

Recent Reviews Kite Liberator DVDMany will hate Kite Liberator. Its story is nonsense. It chops and splices genres in the silliest way possible. But taken as a gentle, self-reflective Tarantino-style satire, it works. And lord, if it isn't a whole lot of fun... Yozakura Quartet GN 1It has all the ingredients of greatness: distinctive characters ... action-adventure potential ... But processing those ingredients into something successful is obviously going to take more work. Strawberry Panic! Sub.DVD 1If you like seeing girls blushing and getting flustered over other girls (with no guys around) then this may be a series for you. Although it does improve, its merits are otherwise only barely enough to sustain it. Monochrome Factor GN 1This ripoff of a ripoff does such a good job of copying everything else in the supernatural genre that it's hard to tell where the imitation stops and an original story begins. Kitchen Princess GN 5Yakitate Japan for girls? All right, so Kitchen Princess doesn't quite have the insane humor, but Volume 5 shows that it contains all the other essential ingredients for a great cooking series. Kagetora GN 8This story of a young ninja and his cute but incapable charge/student wallows in an intensive display of utterly stereotypical romantic comedy content, but looks good doing so and still manages to be mildly entertaining. The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service GN 6The Kurosagi Corpse Delivery Service may be a shining jewel in the supernatural genre, but even this masterful series has its off-days. Volume 6 is one such disappointment. Galaxy Angel II GN 3Unless you're a fan of the franchise and simply must know why Nano-Nano has a tail and Kahlua a split personality, or you're a sucker for any kind of harem romance, this manga is unlikely to captivate. Hell Girl DVD 4As restrained, elegant, and superbly atmospheric as ever, Hell Girl continues to vary its basic formula in small, telling ways but remains as stubbornly repetitive as ever. The Wallflower GN 14Toss any expectations beyond those for a passing diversion and some good chuckles out the window. Wallflower is back to treading water. more reviews... Random Fun MazinKaiser DVD 1Mazinkaiser is a heck of a lot of fun to watch. It's like pornography for giant robot fans. All material Copyright © 1998-2008 Anime News Network. All rights reserved.
