HOLY CRAP THE ANIMATION IS F****NG AMAZING!:D

The first series impressed me with animation on par with the first movie, the second movie impressed me with the most amazing animation I've seen, and this "2nd Gig" Tv show Wows me with animation on par with the 2nd movie! This is easily the most well-animated show on television!!!

Anyway, the story of this episode was pretty good too! If you liked the first "Stand Alone Complex", you'll probably like this one, as it picks up where the last series left off. Politics, Sci-Fi, Philosophy, and Heavy Action. In other words, it's just more Ghost In The Shell.

One warning: There's alot more violence and blood this time around!

The music is by Yoko Kanno again and is similar to the first but not quite the same.

All in all, this first episode was great and I look forward to watching this show. Even after I get over the shock of seeing a TV show (which traditionally, due to budget, doesn't look as good as a movie) with animation that would make almost any high-budget animated movie (even full-3D projects like Final Fantasy and Polar Express) vomit with envy.

I just watched an episode and I was pretty impressed. I've seen some SAC before but I didn't really follow it. I may do that now. This is an anime that I think has a very good dub, as well.

I love the whole Ghost in the Shell series. I haven't watched much 2nd Gig, but from what I watched, it's very good.

Okay, I'm a bit lost here. I have no idea which movie follows which series and vice-versa. So, could someone please have the kindness to make a sort of chronology of the series?

Thank you.

The two movies and the two TV shows are two separate continuities. The movies are one. The shows are another. Both based on a Manga.
