I originally saw this series on the Cartoon Network Adult Swim segment succor in 2005. Unlike most American cartoons this Ghost in the Shell (GITS) is geared towards a dilapidated audience. It offers a trustworthy mix of police drama, philosophy and sci-fi all rolled into one.

The 26 episodes are divided into two categories Stand Alone and Complex. Stand Alone episodes are simply that, a self contained episode that is animated, but doesn’t contribute grand to the overall arcing storyline. These episodes can be skipped and you will peaceful be able to follow the Laughing Man storyline. Complex episodes are fraction of the overall Laughing Man storyline; miss one episode and you miss some information.
GITS takes residence in the year 2030; which is after the 4th World War, and revolves around Public Security Piece 9, or simply Fraction 9. It is an elite anti-crime organization that specializes in cyber terrorism. The team is mostly comprised of cyborgs with the exception of one; Togusa who’s only cyberization is a brain implant. Many of the initial episodes are Stand Alone, but eventually the main account arc begins to emerge when an unresolved six year extinct case called the Laughing Man case.

GITS is geared towards a stale audience because of the serious dialog. There are no “cute” talking animals like in other animes. However, to introduce a sense of innocence into an otherwise serious organization comprised of outmoded military, Yakuza (organized crime), and police members are the Tachikomas. Tachikomas are lightly armored tanks with autonomous AI passe by Allotment 9. When they express they have the assure of microscopic children which is in difference to the more weak sounding adults. The Tachikomas narrate an innocence that all members of Portion 9 (or any adult for that matter) no longer have.
The basic philosophy around Ghost in the Shell is what a human being is and how your humanity will change as you upgrade your body using cybernetics. The title speaks for itself; “Ghost” is your soul, “Shell” is your body whether it is biological or cybernetic. A word of warning, unlike most cartoons made for the US audience, the dialog can become quite complex especially when dealing with philosophical issues and clear aspects of the Laughing Man case. Imagine the dialog between Neo and the Architect in The Matrix: Reloaded. Not something to hear every day; especially in cartoons geared towards kids. Speaking of the Matrix, the movie borrows a lot from Japanese anime and manga, including Ghost in the Shell.
The main yarn arc revolves around the Laughing Man. Who is he/she? Why did he/she commence a series of industrial blackmail and suddenly fade? Are there more than one Laughing Man? The companies that were blackmailed by the Laughing Man also received money from the government to fill stock prices; is there some type of collusion taking space? What is the significance of the quote, “I conception what I’d do was, pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes” from the book Catcher in the Rye? As the main epic arc unfolds, some answers are provided, but many novel mysteries launch up.
Not definite if it’s worth buying? Then gawk it or picture it on the Cartoon Network who typically broadcasts the series at 2:00am and 5:00am Monday through Thursday. Unfortunately as of is writing (10-15-06) the Cartoon Network has re-broadcasted all episodes of GITS SAC season 1. They are currently broadcasting the episode of Ghost in the Shell – S.A.C – 2nd Gig which is season 2 of the series. A very obliging continuation of the series with an even more complex storyline.
Can’t wait for the next movie (not season 3), Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid Dwelling Society, to be released in 2007 outside of Japan.
I stumbled on Stand Alone Complex completely by accident. I’d seen both previous films, and this recent series caught me completely by surprise. With significant exceptions (Battlestar Galactica, Six Feet Under) this has more emotional and shining depth than almost any Western series you can reflect of. Every episode subtly and delicately raises essential themes that are worth serious discussion and consideration.
But those themes won’t be enjoyable to an audience if it isn’t packaged in an eterntaining beget – which this series is. It has everything – some spacious action sequences (the Terrorist takedown in the first episode), terrific character development (name any of them), and a standout kickass musical regain. The acquire by Yoko Kanno deserves special mention, as it runs the gamut from ‘cyberpunk techno’(sic? ) to radiant orchestral melodies. And the main themes for the series are serious attention-getters – one of the best I’ve ever heard.
All the characters are vividly drawn and beautifully realised. The DVD Boxset has both the new Japanese voices, as well as the English dub. It’s involving to glance the differences between Atsuko Tanaka and Mary McGlynn’s rendition of the main character (Major Kusanagi) . The Japanese voices emphasises the philosphical and intelligent issues being raised. While the western dub makes the characters more righteous and approachable. It lends a provocative slant to the series.
The glide is powerful slower and more langurious than what action- or anime- fans are ancient to. As a casual viewer, that’s impartial ravishing by me. It gives the viewer more time to digest the famous concepts being raised, and also a chance to relish the tone and atmosphere of the astonishing world that is being woven before our eyes.
There are a few films that have touched me intellectually, and there are a lot that have affected me emotionally and viscerally (LOTR, Doctor Who, Star Wars Unusual, Star Toddle, etc…) . Stand Alone Complex is the only series that has touched me on both an emotional and brilliant level. I absolutely worship and appreciate this series. Strongly strongly recommended for the open-minded viewer looking for emotional and shimmering stimulation from their film and TV viewing.
