Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

[iceman]

Has anybody watched this anime series and is it any good for me to buy and watch it?<p>I've just seen Series 1 & 2 in the shops, and I was considering how good the entire series is before I choose to purchase it.<p>--Iceman--

I've seen all of season 1 on Adult Swim..<p>It's freaking awesome! The Stand alone episodes are stand alone, and there is like 10 complex episodes dealing with the laughing man.<p>Hell, Episode 9, Chat kept me riveted and all it was was talking in a cyber chat room o.o<p>The Tachikomas kick ass.<p>Also, Bateau and Togusa are much nicer in this series, than in the second movie.

I watched SAC while they played them after buying the first 2 DVDs. I can tell you that you will miss some extra stuff that Adult Swim did not show. It depends also on if it was the special versions that had extras like a free CD of case included for 10 bucks more or d just the DVD itself.<br>Id sagest not getting them unless you are a core fan who can’t live with out them. If you aren’t then you can pick up a block of tapes and set your VCR to record the first season while they replay them.<p>As for Bateau and Togusa they played more of a support/comic relief in the Manga.<p>Personally I can't wait to have that type of chat room in 9. But they did make it look too much like a round table talk show then a chat.
