Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence
Cyborg detective Batou hunts a string of lethal gynoid murders, racing to uncover the mysterious AI whispering “Help me” before the malfunctioning machines erase their own secrets and plunge humanity into chaos.
“When machines learn to feel, who decides what is human...”
Synopsis
Cyborg detective Batou is assigned to investigate a series of murders committed by gynoids—doll-like cyborgs that all malfunctioned, killed, and then self-destructed afterward. The brains of the gynoids initialize in order to protect their manufacturer's software, but in one gynoid, which Batou himself neutralized, one file remains: a voice speaking the phrase "Help me."

Why a floor?
This is a minimum, not a total. We only count the credits we’ve captured so far, and coverage is uneven — a blockbuster might show a few hundred names while another of the same size shows a couple dozen. The real crews all ran into the thousands. The number here only grows as full credits are enriched — so we frame it as a floor, never a headcount.
