Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Season 1

Editorial Reviews

Amazon.com

Major Motoko Kusanagi, Batou, Togusa, and the other officers from Public Security Section 9 battle crimes involving hackers, data tampering, and cyber-drugs as the broadcast series based on Mamoru Oshii's Ghost in the Shell continues. In "Missing Hearts," they pursue a gang of medical students involved in the black market sale of human organs--an unusual subject, as transplant surgery is much rarer in Japan than in America. The character of Batou is more entertaining in the TV series than in Ghost in the Shell II: Innocence. He's action-oriented and engages the other characters in coversation, instead of endlessly quoting Eastern and Western philosophers. Tachikoma, the crab-like robot with the cutesy voice, is an improbable presence in a show that features so much blood and hard-hitting action. The interstitial adventures involving multiple Tachikomas feel like scenes from an unrelated children's program. Extras include interviews with composer Yoko Kanno and the Japanese voice actor who performs the role of Aramaki. There's also a two-disc deluxe edition that boasts DTS 5.1 soundtracks in English and Japanese, plus a CD of Kanno's music from the series. (Rated 13 and older: considerable violence, grotesque imagery, nudity, alcohol and tobacco use) --Charles Solomon

5.0 out of 5 stars It's a keeper for Anime fans, October 18, 2004
By Kirby Staples (Clearwater, FL United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
As a fan of the orignal GitS, and of Stand Alone Complex Vol. 1, I really looked forward to Vol. 2 and I was not disappointed. The story continued where it left off in Vol. 1, but this time we learn even more about the Major, her skills and maybe a small scene to some, but to me when she blocked a blow and it...well, don't want to spoil it, but it shows how powerfully build she is. While the Laughing Man from the first vol. took up lots of the time, the other episodes showed more of her personality. Including a huge surprise about her love life that was cut-out of the US verison of GitS comic.

The art, action are crisp and clean, the US voice acting is very good, not perfect at times, but they've spend money getting some good voice actors. As for the sound complain in another review, I started off with no sound, then realised that I had set-up for DTS sound, which I don't have. After resetting to stereo the sound came on and it sounded great.

I recommend Ghost in the Shell for any anime fan.

5.0 out of 5 stars Ghost -SAC is rockin', October 11, 2004
By GreyGhost (Missouri) - See all my reviews
So far, I've enjoyed this series very much, more so than the movie, it seems to follow the Manga more closely in both style and story ... I'm looking forward to the next installment as well ...

I see someone has had a problem with the sound, well copy and paste this address:

3.0 out of 5 stars NO Extras on DTS version?, June 14, 2006
By B. Smythe (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The show is great and DVD sound and picture are great. But, I noticed my DVD has no Extras (the interviews with Aramaki's voice actor andthe composer) even though the box says it is supposed to. Also, the DVD does not have 5.1 sound even though the box claims it does. Did I just get an old DVD in a new box? Maybe it was sitting int the warehouse for a long time? Series is worth having on DVD if you can afford it

****Did anyone else experience the NO EXTRAS problem?****
Thanks
