GITS:SAC: Solid State Society

Another superb installment of the Ghost in the Shell anime series, based on the manga by Masamune Shirow, shows us Section 9 with all our old friends sans the Major. Togusa heads the field ops and a slightly ailing Aramaki now walks around with a cane. A rather subdued and depressed Batou continues to strut around obsessing over the development of the Tachikomas.

The group is confounded by thirteen suicides of terrorists without any rhyme or reasons. The only connection they have is the mention of a wizard hacker called the Puppeteer. Batou soon discovers the Major floating in the periphery of the investigation and the ride is on...

In spite of being the weakest installment in the series it still held true to the high standards set by its predecessors. If the review is making no sense to you it is best you start at the beginning and then you will know that before Trinity there was Motoko Kusanagi.
