Cerebral, convoluted, confusing, slow, requiring complete attention from audience and better than the original. Innocence is much talky and slow paced that the original and it's for the intellectual and it's many philosophical dialogues and talkative nature may be too much for many to follow. Still this second film is unlike any anime with a layered plot, sensible plot twists, action that does not overshadow the plot. The animation is splendid and as expected, surpasses the original. It works effectively as a mind fuck psychological thriller as well. However, even though the original did not have much plot, but still it had some though provoking dialogue and foresight about the era with internet and computers becoming integral part of everything, but that is to an extend missing in this sequel as it gives more attention for being philosophical.
