Ghost in the Shell TV
I know it's been a while since Ghost in the Shell TV series came out, but I finally got around to watching the episodes. Wow, the episodes are awesome! Like Dominion Tank Police, Ghost in the Shell portrays slices of life as an elite police force, except with less silliness. However, if you like silliness, Ghost in the Shell TV episodes end with a clip of surreal silliness of Tachikomas, which you'll have to see to believe.
The characters in the TV series are the same as from the Ghost in the Shell movies, yet, they are sketched a bit differently. I think Kusanagi-san looks absolutely ridiculous wearing that getup in the TV episodes, but it's really classic Shirow artwork. Still, that outfit brings a new meaning to the term 'camel toe'. Anyhow, beyond that, the stories are really engaging. I found myself wanting to keep watching the next episodes continuously, until there's no more. Now, that, to me, is the sign of a great story. There's a strong element of whodunnit in these episodes, which is probably what keeps me interested. I highly recommend this series.
