    Although the major vanished @ the end of the 1st GITS film, this doesn't seem to stop the creators in managing to respawn her as a slightly different character helping section 9 track down the Puppettier.

    A fantastic and heavily thought-provoking film. Beautifully animated, and pacey crime-thriller, as with previous Ghost in the Shell offerings (and Stand Alone Complex in particular), this film excels in its powerful delivery of terrifying social commentary (the ending is stunnin...( read more)g). Whereas the two film versions of GITS (not related to this film in any way - this film is a continuation of the unrelated TV series) can be heavy on dialogue and imagery in delivering commentary, SAC (and this film) blend this perfectly with tense action and character driven plot. Highly recommended film - although you will get a lot more our of it if you have watched the previous two TV series, this film is Stand Alone.

    Another great installment from Kenji Kamiyama, and his Stand Alone Complex.

    Solid State Society might just be an extra long TV episode, but when your talking about a TV series that's as good is Ghost, your 're talking about high-end story telling brilliance.

    Woops! I only just realised that this is a stand-alone (no pun intended) film set after the second season of SAC. I thought it was a summary of the second season, like The Laughing Man. Silly me. Funnily enough, I didn't even catch on the entire time I was watching it, and I real...( read more)ly enjoyed it, even though I wasn't up with the plot. This is quite funny. Now I need to see 2nd Gig :P
