Ghost in the Shell all day long! Both have nice visuals, but Ghost has a much better story.

Definitely the visuals are the strongest thing going for either. I am tempted to agree that Ghost has a better story, but Jupiter was more fun. Kind of a close one, actually, but "fun" usually wins out with me.

Nigel, Nigel, Nigel.... we don't usually disagree, but we're going to here. I loved GitS, which is crazy because years ago when I watched the anime, I was unimpressed. Watching this one has led me to think about going back and revisiting that one. Jupiter Ascending was pretty visuals and little else, unfortunately.

I have to agree. Ghost in the Shell had rich setting and visuals, but also coherent editing and storytelling combined with interesting characters and acceptable performances. Jupiter was a zany ride, but what a mess of a film. Ghost wins hands down.
