| Summary: |
The series takes place in Japan during the year 2030, and revolves around the activities of Public Security Section 9, a fictional intelligence department under the Japanese Ministry of Home Affairs. The series' main storyline focuses on Section 9's independent investigation of the Laughing Man incident after Togusa, a member of Section 9, receives information from an old friend concerning possible government interference in the official police investigation of the incident. As the series unfolds, Section 9 uncovers government and corporate involvement in the events which took place after the initial incident, and ascertains the identity of the Laughing Man himself. The series is split into two kinds of episodes: Complex episodes, which follow Section 9's investigation of the Laughing Man incident and represents the main storyline, and self-contained Stand Alone episodes, which follow Section 9 as they investigate other cases, serving as opportunities for character development and showcasing the futuristic Japan that Section 9 operates in. |

this series is an excellent social and political commentary on top of being superb sci-fi. Everyything seems purposeful towards driving the plot and themes and it goes without saying, you must watch season 1 (1st gig) to truly appreciate the level of thought that has gone into this adaptation. To be honest I wasn't a fan of the theatrical GitS (not the stand alone complex ones; those are all excellent) but this seems to be more faithful to the manga plotline.
This is one of those series where if you engage your mind fully when watching, the rewards are of boundless entertainment and a deep thoughtful view on our world leaving us questioning the present day and mindful of where we are potentially heading.
