Man I just watched episode 21 and that did it for me. I'm ordering the first DVD with the box/booklet right now. I'm sure the Cartoon network dub will be (or could be..) great but DVD quality is required for this kind of anime.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is better then Cowboy Bebop and IMO one of the best I've ever seen. I'm comparing it to CB because it has the same filler/main arc pace as CB which is also where I think Gits: SAC has its only downside. If only they can extend some of the good fillers to two episodes and go deeper into the characters it could've been a much more emotionally charged anime. Like for example
. If the few bad stand alone episode (like episode 1.. ugh) were cancelled and added as second parts to the good ones Gits would be an S (super) anime instead of (imo) an A.
I'm hoping right now that episodes 22-26 are 'complex' ones though since they're the best . Oh and thank god
If the next few episodes, and the 2nd Gig ones, are any where near episode 21 Gits: SAC could be my favorite all time anime. This was my reaction after watching 21:
lol I think I'd pay for an avatar of the major
So any Gits fan here? I hope this thread gives the series the attention it needs. Not that it's not getting any but the more the better.
Oh and Tachikoma >> you.

Batous history with the rangers... the minister's daughter that was kidnapped: what happened to here that she wanted to forget? How did she age so much in such a short amount of time? Torture? experimentation?

The laughing man isn't some "illusion" created from the internet. That would kina make it a futuristic Paranoia agent and it just wont be good enough. Also if I remember correctly the villain in the Gits movie was an artificial program or something.

OMG. OMG!!!
