Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Reviews

If you like sci fi at all, this show is for you. the idea of everyone slowly changing into cyborg, and riding the fine line between what defines being human and what is artificial.

Great action sequences but the philosophy and politics don't make sense to me if only because i cant think as fast as they talk. Also i cant sympathize with ppl who put their brains in a robot and could be stuck in virtual reality. No wait i cant watch a show that could all be a virtual reality.

Some of the finest sci-fi series I've seen come from the Japanese animation studios. The producers and writers focus on creating something that is more than simply an action series, a problem that plagues too many sci-fi series. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is one of the best examples. It's a potent and provocative mix of action, philosophy, politics, futurism, war, sociology along with a great deal of character development and back story.

So far, there have been two seasons with the last one being broadcast four years ago. I don't think we'll see any more episodes. Another thing that others can learn from - quality over quantity.
