Your story sums up everything I thought about this creepy anime show, dead people
pretending to be alive, humans mutating themselves into robots and thinking that
they are superior to living people. It sounded like in the anime and story that
they are one generation away fromliving to mechanical. CREEPY, great story even
though he was stupid enough to not realize that if he were having problems with
memory, you don't go to a man who can change them, stupid of him to not realize
that he was bait for him bosses.

That could have been a kick ** AR movie. ^_~ great story.

Wow, it's sure been a long time since I've read the other chapters. -laughs- However, that still doesn't detract from how much I like this story. You have a wonderful way with description, and I like how you ended the story. Very thought-provoking, and it ties in the name of the story. Great job on this.

This is probably the best GiTS FF I've ever read. Excellent characterization. Very thought provoking.

This was a positively captivating fiction. It manages to keep the original themes and concepts of Ghost In The Shell, but it brings something new to the table. Always in Ghost In The Shell there exists the question of identity, but this fiction brought the struggle of that question into startling clarity. The characters were captured in near perfection, and you managed to make it emotional and enthralling without causing it to become cheesy or overly angsty. Togusas' struggles, both internal and external,. bring a whole new emotional level to Ghost In The Shell, which has always carried a facade of emotional distance.

I absolutely loved reading Defining the Indefinable. I eagerly await your future writings.

brilliant, brilliant... BRILLIANT!

I've just found this story and I'd just like to state that this is without any doubt one of the best pieces of fan fiction I have read.

You have managed to replicate the feel of a Stand Alone Complex episode and spin a good story. Kudos to you!

Oh it's so touching! It reminds me of my own dad(sobs)...

This story ended as good as it started. It was just like watching an episode. I liked the ending, which was true to the show, because even when there is a happy ending, there is still a sad, lingering feeling. I still felt so sad for Miki. Togusa's relationship with his daugther was so touching. I like how you resolved the problems. I will miss this fic. Please write another. You should write something about Batou and his dog. I think you'd do a great job.

You've left me speechless. By now I think I've raved about your skill in every single review that I've written but I still think that you deserve more! One of the best features of this final chapter is the variety of settings which you describe. I found that each one had its own mood; it was these moods which allowed me to fully feel the impact of your spectacular storytelling. I thought that the way you incorporated the story's title into the final segments was inspiring.

May I also take this opportunity to commend your fantastic portrayal of the relationship between father and daughter? I may not be a parent but the emotions you conjured up struck home with a part of me I didn't know existed. I was overjoyed that Togusa finally came back for his daughter's doll and that he found his humanity! Something that I've noticed during the course of this story is the manner with which you have Motoko behave. I call her 'Motoko' here instead of 'Major' because you effortlessly tapped into the warm and humane side she normally tries to conceal. Her support for Togusa and her guilt at her inability to protect him was an excellent parallel to Togusa and Miki.

Just as the Major said to Batou: "You know, you saved one of them this time."

It's been a joy to read this story, you've made a lifelong fan out of me. Good luck with your further writing! I'll be waiting!

This chapter wrapped up this story nicely. I like how you briefly but thoroughly resolved everything, especially with the girl who started it all, Togusa's family and his own fears. Excellent from start to finish!

Wonderful! I have so enjoyed reading this story! Thank you so much for finishing it, you've done a fantastic job!

Congradulations on finishing! :D I was very excited to see this story had been updated. It's definately one of my favorites. The ending was very good, very well written, and just seems like an excellent finish.

Some parts of the story didn't seem to flow with the story. Like when the major was introduced to the chapter, it seemed sort of chopped and random. However, it wasn't too noticable.

Also, when he goes to visit the memory store, that was a bit abrupt as well. It just seemed you were trying to end the story with a somewhat short and conclusional ending.

I'm going to miss this story. It was thought out and chaulked full of vital information, which is always good. :D

Thank you for finishing this story. It was wonderful to read and even better to finish. :D

Goodluck with other stories!

This was a great story!! Thank you for sharing it with us!! I loved it!! I really enjoyed reading this story!! :)

Wonderful ending! I'm glad it's a (mostly) happy one . . . parts of this kind of remind me of Solid State Society, in a good way. :-)

Two typos: "omitting" should "emitting" and "bare" should be "bear".
