Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society

After watching this at least 4 times I am struck at what a fast paced, tight and captivating story this is. The first half is filled with mystery, who is the puppeteer, why are so many officials killing themselves, why did as public servant arrange to have himself killed and why were children being kidnapped. The second half is full on action and when the major is once again working with section 9, it almost brings a tear to your eye. Not as good as the original movie or sequel, which were true classics, but it certainly can be placed in number three spot. This is a must watch for any fan of cyber punk and hot cyborgs.
