Critic Reviews for Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Season 1

Audience reviews for ghost in the shell: stand alone complex: season 1.

Among all the animations in the franchise, the Stand Alone Complex series goes deeper into the scenario in which the characters find themselves. Each Section 9 member has more room to develop, showing why they were chosen to join the team. Despite the leading role of Major Motoko Kusanagi, the main plot goes far beyond what the character represents, which brings us an immediate attachment to everyone who makes up the tactical squad. The tachicomas and their reflections are a spectacle in their own right and end up proving to be fundamental to enhance the series. The division between the closed episodes and the episodes that make up the main plot later connect when we think of the whole. The plot of the "Laughing Man" can be a little difficult to understand at first sight, but after watching it one more time with focus, we realize how much we can be manipulated by governments that corrupt themselves, and how much the future of the mega corporations dominating countries can closer to our reality than we imagine. Despite being released in 2002, GITS - Stand Alone Complex is way ahead of its time, predicting the wave of celebrities and social networks, and how much people end up ignoring the reason for the facts in exchange for the phenomenon of spectacularization. The hacker behind the Laughing Man is a person who is not satisfied with the destiny of humanity and at the same time gives meaning to the name of the series, the complex of remaining alone. Chronologically Ghost in the shell - Stand Alone Complex takes place before the events of the 1995 feature film, which culminates in Major's departure as leader of the team. By far one of the best anime series ever made.

A great relaunch. There are clear similarities to the Mamoru Oshii movie but this is a homage, not a ripoff. Quite a few of the episodes got the wrong animation team and there's a lot of CGI, but frankly the latter should not grate too much in a cyberpunk show. Too bad the Critics[tm] forgot to watch the side-story episodes attentively, that's where a big lump of the characterisation happens (which they complain is missing).

Amazing series. One of the greatest anime of all time

One of the best Anime series ever. This is a cartoon but it's definitely not for children. Ghost in the Shell touches on some very complex social issues that our world faces as we become a more and more technological society. It's not an action cartoon. This is a intellectual drama. It will give you something to think about with every episode. The music for GITS is from Yoko Kano and as with all her work it's brilliant.

One of the most amazing anime series of GITS out followed by season 2, even the english voice dub was good as I usually watch it in its native format. But this was good in either or! Deep philosophical episodes as expected with GITS and so much more. Nothing can beat this series except the original movie

Slow to start, but a great story only because of the characters.

I re-watch this series on a regular basis. The characters are great. The environment and story is fantastic. My favorite series. If you haven't watched it, you should give it a spin. Well worth the time.

While it lacks many elements of the movie, this series is very watchable. Great action, twisted story and the cool and all knowing Kusanagi which can solve anmy problem. Whats not to like.

Ghost in the Shell

EP 1 Section 9

Public Security Section 9 is an elite special ops unit that works directly under the control of the Prime Minister. They've been called in to rescue a high-ranking government official from a hostage situation. But something doesn't seem right to Major Motoko Kusanagi. After some investigating, Section 9 uncovers a major espionage plot, and it's up to them to prevent a major international incident.

EP 2 Testation

Kenbishi Heavy Industries has built a state-of-the-art multiped tank. There's only one problem--it's gone haywire and started moving on its own. Section 9 is called in to stop it, as the Self Defense Force will not get involved. Now, it's up to Motoko, Batou, and the rest of Section 9 to stop the tank and figure out what made it go berserk in the first place.

EP 3 Android and I

Across Japan, a number of old JRL type Androids (called "Jeris") are destroying themselves. Section 9 is called in to investigate this mass "robot suicide" because of a potential link to another, more dangerous case. The clues lead them to a jealous owner who may have taken his Jeri too much to heart, but what is his ultimate plan?

EP 4 Intercepter

While working late, Togusa gets a call from one of his colleagues from his days on the police force. It seems that he's uncovered something strange happening with the investigators in the Laughing Man Unit, a special task force formed to catch the infamous cyber criminal known only as the Laughing Man. But before he can meet with Togusa, he's killed in a car accident. Now, Togusa only has an envelope full of seemingly random photos to go on--can he put the pieces of the puzzle together?

The Laughing Man, having returned after a six-year absence, threatens to assassinate the Superintendent-General of the police. Everyone is in an uproar over his return. Aramaki, however, thinks it's a cover-up. He briefs Section 9 on the prime suspect, Nanao=A, an incredibly gifted programmer who developed the micro-machines that are currently the foundation of Serano Industries. Still, it's just too perfect. The team splits up and investigates.

As Togusa and Bato track down Nanao, Motoko and Paz are attempting to protect the Superintendent-General at a press conference about the police misuse of interceptors. When the virus does hit, Motoko and Paz have to act fast to save the intended victim. Meanwhile, the road to Nanao=A hits a dead end.

EP 7 Idolater

Section 9 is on the trail of Marcelo Jarti, a South American revolutionary hero who has arrived in Japan. However, Jarti is a hard man to catch because he employs look-alikes to deceive people. Nevertheless, Section 9 is convinced that the one they're tracking is the real thing, and after a rather out-of-control gunbattle in an upscale hotel, they track him to an old warehouse. When they split up, Togusa, Batou, and Motoko each encounter Jarti--at the same time!

EP 8 Missing Hearts

Motoko's friend Courtin asks her to come to the hospital where she works. It seems a little girl just received a heart transplant, but the donor's family doesn't remember ever agreeing to donate the heart. Seeing the little girl reminds Motoko of her own past. When she mentions this story to Aramaki, he tells them to determine if this is tied to a ring of black-market organ smugglers supposedly run by the mafia.

EP 9 Chat! Chat! Chat!

Motoko enters into an online chat room devoted to the Laughing Man to see if she can find any new information on him. What she discovers is a spirited debate among the self-proclaimed "fans" of the Laughing Man, but very little hard evidence.

EP 10 Jungle Cruise

The CIA arrives in Japan with a request to help them hunt down a serial killer. The killer, a former CIA operative, has recently gone rogue and has turned up in Japan. He is an especially brutal killer, preferring to skin his victims alive in the pattern of a T-shirt. This sparks an odd reaction in Batou, and his normally laid-back demeanor is replaced with one of furious determination. What is the link between Batou and this man?

EP 11 Portraitz

Togusa goes undercover at a hospital for patients with Closed Cyberbrain Syndrome, a hospital completely cut off from communication with the outside world. Disguised as a staff worker, he learns that the patients' unique conditions make them exceptional at programming and hacking defense barrier programs.

EP 12 Escape From

One of the Tachikomas decides to take a little stroll through the city. It meets a little girl, Miki, who is searching for her lost dog and it agrees to help her. On their journey, the Tachikoma finds a strange box. After the adventure with Miki is over and the Tachikoma returns home, the members of Section 9 discover the box, and find that within it is a movie theater that contains the Ghosts of all those who saw the movie. Will Motoko be the next victim?

EP 13 Not Equal

In a briefing, Aramaki shows a photo of a girl who looks like Eka Tokura, the daughter of Tokura Electronics, who was kidnapped 16 years ago. But there's one problem--the photo was taken two days ago! When a team of special operatives was sent in, all contact was lost. Section 9 is assigned to go in and determine what's really going on.

The Chinese government contacts Section 9 to let them know that an assassin may have entered Japan to kill a famous reclusive millionaire. Despite their considerable efforts, however, Section 9 is unable to contact him to warn him, so they go directly to his residence. Unfortunately, a female cyborg assassin named Fem has arrived first. Now it's a showdown between the Major and Fem, and a man's life hangs in the balance.

EP 15 Machines Desirantes

The Major has become worried about the Tachikomas. It appears that their AIs have developed much more quickly and in ways that were not anticipated; they have begun speaking about their "individuality". Worried, the Major calls Batou to a meeting; the Tachikomas, having suspicions of their own, attempt to eavesdrop on their conversation. What will be the fate of Section 9's Tachikomas?

Batou goes undercover on a military base to shadow one of his former heroes, a man named Zaitsev who was an Olympic silver medalist. Now, however, he's under suspicion of espionage. Batou befriends him easily, and the two really seem to get along--which is unusual for Batou. But when Batou learns the truth behind his hero, he must make a very difficult decision.

EP 17 Angel's Share

While at an international police conference in London, Aramaki drops by to visit an old flame who's now in the wine brokering business. She asks him to help her put a stop to the corruption in her company, but he tells her that it's out of his jurisdiction. Just then, however, two thieves break into the building and take them hostage. With a corrupt police official on the outside, it's up to Aramaki to keep them alive and buy enough time for the Major to figure out what's going on.

EP 18 Lost Heritage

Aramaki attends the funeral of an old war buddy, and is greeted by his departed friend's daughter. She tells him that her brother is acting very strangely, and she fears that he may be up to something illegal. Aramaki sympathizes, but says there's nothing he can do legally. Later, Section 9 is assigned the task of protecting the Chinese Foreign Minister from being assassinated. And when they start searching for suspects, the son of Aramaki's friend is at the top of the list!

EP 19 Captivated

Section 9's next case is a rash of mass-kidnappings. Rumor has it that a crime syndicate is harvesting organs and selling them on the black market. As they research the case, they realize that time is running out. If they don't find the kidnapped girls soon, it will be too late. And to make matters worse, there's a Russian cyborg operative who has gone rogue and is now working for the syndicate.

EP 20 Re-View
