My favorite anime at the moment is Ghost in the Shell. The movie is one the best anime movie I have ever seen, that is such an awesome movie. It's also the ONLY anime who ever made nr. 1 in the USA VIDEO/DVD sales, and that is pritty awesome. Also the recent TV-series, Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is very cool, it gives you a more indepth in the different characters within section 9, the TV-series concists of 26 episodes over 2 seasons. The TV-series is situated before the first movie (or so I think ). And ofcourse later this year a sequel to the movie, Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, wil come to the cinemas and I can't wait for that to happen. so what do you guys think of the movie(s) and the tv-series?

I've seen "Ghost in the Shell" but I can't really say I think it's THAT great. However, I do wish to see GITS:SAC anyway

you don't no "Major" Motoko Kusanagi? did you really see Ghost in the Shell? She's the boss of Section 9 and she likes to dress sexy ^^, altough her body is cybernetic. only her brain and spine are "human", all the other stuff is fake.

Akira and Ghost in the Shell are my first anime VHS and later my first DVD's....bought a dvd player without dvd's so I bought Akira (special edition) and Ghost in the Shell right away ^^ edit: I just saw the ad above in this forum and it said that the japanese version of Ghost in the Shell is already out on DVD, too bad it doesn't have English subtitles, or I would defenetly have bought it... japanese DVD cover

Gaah! That's WAY TO expensive! If it would come with MORE stuffs, then it would be worth it.. Ofcourse, subtract about 100-200$ then it would be worth it to but still, it's a lot of great stuff you get I presume and it's only limited... Win on a lottery? haha

I didn't like Innocence either, the story was slow. unlinke the tv series which is fast pased, every (or a couple) episodes have a story but there are links into the bigger picture that will take 2 seasons to be cleared up (or so I heard)

btw. psx game ghost in the shell is great too, and have great music - takyu ishino rulez I'd like to know more about the game. I saw it at some stores and I wanted to play it since I loved the first one for the PSX. I decided to read reviews on Gamefaqs and what bothered me were the botched controls and Short game time. Maybe I'll see if I can get it at a cheaper price, maybe $20-30 price range for this one, but that's it. You said the music was good, that's good, but my god, then tend to shoot this one down when it comes to music and replability. Kinda seems like your standard action game boosted by the fact that it has an Anime series/movies to back it up. I would get the game, but I wouldn't blow a lotta money on it. I ain't hating, just trying to get the heads up on the product before I get it, that's all. Still, I bet the action in the game kiks mega butt.
