Yes, I agree but it was released in 2002 so it's not likely being shown on TV in Japan any longer! It rules because the same director who worked on the Ghost in the Shell movie also worked on the 26 episodes. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Also because Mr. Ghost in the Shell himself worked on it! Go go Shirow and your very attractive women characters! I recommend Ergo Proxy, only because it uses Paranoid Android as it's opening theme. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I second Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, the tv series. The second season definately outdoes the first, GITS: 2nd GIG. Also 26 eps. The fact that Yoko Kanno did the music for the series is reason enough to watch. Most of anything she works on is gold...
