abstract
| - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is an anime. The show's original United States airing was on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block. In Japan, it was first broadcast on the pay-per-view Animax channel. The premise follows the investigation of the Laughing Man incident by Public Security Section 9, led by Motoko Kusanagi. It is followed by a second season named Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG. Image:Spoiler-Start.png Spoiler Warning: Spoiler details may follow.
- Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is an anime series and an adaptation of Shirow Masamune's Ghost in The Shell manga; the show follows a covert Japanese government counterterrorist task force named Public Security Section 9. (The translation of the group's name can differ depending on language/region; the translation used here is from the English version.) Stand Alone Complex is visually stunning (it features beautiful digital cel animation which was produced in full widescreen) and audibly mesmerizing (its soundtrack was handled by none other than Yoko Kanno herself). Its plot and characterization are both exceptionally deep, with philosophical discussions of dehumanization through technology and synthetic life -- as well as intense political intrigue -- existing alongside plenty of high-octane action scenes. The world of Stand Alone Complex is different from that of the two Ghost in The Shell feature films and the original manga -- while the feature films and the manga focus on Motoko Kusanagi and her evolution into something beyond human after her encounter with The Puppetmaster, in Stand-Alone Complex, The Puppetmaster has yet to appear and Section 9 (including Kusanagi) is a fully functional team. Stand Alone Complex is split up between two twenty-six episode seasons: Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex and Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Second Gig. For obvious reasons, both seasons are often abbreviated by fans; the first is referred to as "GITS:SAC" -- pronounced "Git-Sack" by the uncouth -- while the second is abbreviated as "2nd Gig". Like The X-Files and many other Speculative Fiction TV series, Stand Alone Complex has one-shot episodes which follow a single case ("Stand Alone") and episodes which follow the series' ongoing Story Arc ("Complex") involving a hacker known as "The Laughing Man". 2nd Gig offers three types of episodes -- "Individual", "Dividual", and "Dual" -- and its Story Arc relates to a terrorist group known as "The Individual Eleven" and its "leader", a mysterious individual named Kuze. As noted above, the Ghost in the Shell franchise has three separate but equally legitimate continuities: that of the manga itself, that of Mamoru Oshii's films -- which themselves are recreations of specific parts of the manga compressed into movie form -- and that of Stand Alone Complex. No continuity has any direct relation to another aside from setting and characters -- though both movies and Stand Alone Complex make references to/offer recreations of specific scenes from the manga. A Made for TV Movie -- Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex: Solid State Society -- was released in 2006; set two years after 2nd Gig, Solid State Society follows Section 9 as it struggles to deal with Motoko's departure and a volatile refugee situation triggered by the actions of someone known only as "The Puppeteer". In 2011, Kodansha Comics released a Stand Alone Complex manga written by Yu Kinutani. Volume One is a shot-for-shot manga interpretation of the first episode, and Volume Two is a retelling of the second episode, "Testation".
