 {{ img:b:r:gits.png?460 }} **{{ruby|攻殻|こうかく}}{{ruby|機|き}}{{ruby|動隊|どうたい}}**(Armored Shell Riot Police/Ghost in the Shell)((:fn:>This is an unexpectedly big rabbit hole. Refer to [[#Name Speculah]])) is a [[lb:japan|Japanese]] sci-fi franchise. In the West, the most well-known entry is the 1995 film, which also happens to be quite bad. In Japan, I'm guessing the most popular entry is Stand Alone Complex.((:fn:>Evidence to back this claim is the simple fact that the S.A.C. branch has more content than the film branch. The 1995 film has one sequel and a remake. S.A.C. has two seasons, two summary OVAs, a TV movie, a spin-off and an additional sequel series with two seasons and its own summary OVAs. That isn't including all the additional content like vidya.))

 === S.A.C. ===
-This is the first season, with all the Laughing Man shenanigans.\\  I think that S.A.C. takes the basic ideas that Ghost in the Shell presented, in the Manga and the film...and elevated them to something that is //almost// a masterpiece. Although I don't think S.A.C. is perfect, I think that it is //near//-perfect.\\  The series is episodic, but it does have an over-arching plot that it does go into (and quite fast too, by episode 4 we're already on the Laughing Man track).\\  Besides the Laughing Man thing, this is probably the first GitS property that actually explores the ‘Ghost in the Shell’ theme, mainly in Episode 3 <abbr>ささやかな反乱 / ANDROID AND I [Sasayaka na Hanran(Meager Revolution?) / Android and I]</abbr> and with the Tachikomas. But I think Episode 3 is more subtle about it. I remember being super excited after that episode, for that reason.((:fn:>I should note that I was //kinda// let down after that episode, since it was never directly followed-up on. The focus with the theme really shifts to the Tachikomas...which isn't bad just...//different//.))\\  I'd just recommend watching it, don't bother listening to me (except for the ‘watch it’ part).
