http://www.productionig.com/contents/works_sp/35_/index.html

from Production I.G. :
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Eating on the street without paying - the artistry of the tachigui people.
So much is in the dark and left unsaid.
"Tachigui" literally means "standing and eating".
It is a word that may find a rough English corresponding in the expression "fast food".
This animated feature film is based on the original novel written by Oshii himself.

This movie has a peculiar culture to Japan.

She is very cute. Her name is Oshii Tomoe!!
I got to know that Tomoe is Oshii's daughter.
She is a daughter between Mamoru and his first wife. (I have seen the article that she wrote in the magazine for the movie. )

and he and she are Oshii's children.

Eh, to say the least...the subject matter doesn't interest me at all, and the animation looks really crude for cut-out animation (if that's what it is), even when compared to the amateurish flash-animated junk on www.newgrounds.com -- a big disappointment from Oshii when compared to the lush full-motion traditional animation merged with 3D backgrounds in GITS2: Innocence.
