This should be the 3rd season* here: https://trakt.tv/shows/ghost-in-the-shell-stand-alone-complex But I''m glad it is not. It ain''t that good to be considered a sequel. Thank you Aramaki. *SAC 'gt; SAC 2nd GIG 'gt; SSS movie 'gt; SAC_2045

The animation is weird, maybe even bad, but all the rest of what makes SAC great is still there. You just have to get by the animation ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

A ghost of its former self. I can get past the new animation style. Production cost will always be a factor. But the meat and bones of GITS has always been the deep concept exploration about consciousness, the potential and horror capable with technology, and the inclinations of those in power to control and commit atrocities. There are moments where 2045 brushes up against those in meaningful ways, but the general concept of perpetual war and post-humans is presented so strong handedly that it overrides the subtleties that gave the show of the past the nuance and complexity that made it great. What we're left with is something clumsy and lacking in commentary not accomplished in generic scifi throughout. After the failure of arise, perhaps its time to put the ghost to its eternal rest.

The first season of GITS SAC 2045 is so uneven and poorly written, that you can skip the first 5 episodes without losing a single plot point. The whole story could be summarized in 60 seconds of dialogue. The remainder six episodes are uneven, but enjoyable, except the last one. Now, the CGI is VERY distracting and subpar, with only a few highlights here and there. The producers made a poor choice leaving behind their wonderful ARISE hand-drawn animation style just to settle with a PS2-era garden-variety CGI fare. The music is intrusive and bombastic in many episodes, but there are a few good pieces in the last episodes. As the next season will keep the same look and plot, it''s a shame this opportunity for a true GITS series is lost.

I stopped after looking at it for 5 mins. WTF is this. The animation literally looks like it was done with the Source Film Maker. So badly animated, i couldn''t take it.

Looks not right, feels not right. Easy as that. If you enjoyed the original Movie you can easily skip this.

Crap animation style, crap story makes no sense. Giant story holes when it tries to tell you something.

Season 2 is much better. I hope we get a season 3.
