When I first purchased these discs over two years ago I paid $20 per disc (x7 discs...) I want to give Bandai a great big hug for this set. I love this series and hope as many intelligent people as possible see it.
I won't bore anyone with the details of the plot, story, etc...
Suffice to say, this is a vast improvement over the first series (SAC). The main antagonist is one of the great characters of anime history (Kuze). He is neither villain nor hero, but something necessary and in between and the animators and voice actors really bring this out.
The stand alone episodes are rich and entertaining and go to show a lot of each character's history. The pace is steady and quick without being too fast. Togusa (my favorite character) really moves into the forefront as one of the three most important characters.
The animation quality is strong and never wavers for a second (like other series who outsource to Korea). The voice acting is strong in both Japanese and English. I watch 95% of my anime in Japanese, but I really prefer this series in English for some odd reason!
If you like trippy, mind bending sci fi in the same vein as Blade Runner, Gattaca, and Logan's Run; then you MUST watch this series (and the 2 movies!)Get more detail about Ghost in the Shell: Anime Legends 2nd Gig.
