The manga are a must. The original story is a bit confusing while the second edition's super-complex, really complex. I still haven't figured out every message yet.

I'd call it sinister, even a bit sad. But that's not what Shirow's cyberpunk idea is about. It's about opportunities in progress. There are cyberpunk stories more suitable for such an atmosphere, but even though Oshii's good at the typical Japanese melancholy, he can't do anything else. However, the ending with the message that you shan't be afraid of changing as you die and are reborn every moment is very existentialistic and reminds of NGE again.

Really, you didn't like the movies? I don't think they were as awesome as the series but I sort of liked the darker edge they had. Never did get around to reading the manga, unfortunately.

gofuckyourself you´re a asshole "This is a badass video hashed together from some anime (no clue which, i hate that crap normally). The song is Rammstein's Engel (Angel) and whoever made this video knew what they were doing, it is extremely well synced."

Wow, the lyrics are synchronized so well with the movement of the characters mouths it's almost scary. lol

Hahaha, I'm glad you reminded me of that - the series in particular. I would have tried to come up wit excuses that the movies are bull-crap, but certainly, the series nearly reach the level of the manga. In fact, I consider the Ghost in the Shell saga as my most favourite, own most of all stuff about it and contributed to the Wikipedia-articles. (Actually, I'm planning on a colloquium about it - in the course of political decision-making in Japan. :-p) Mea culpa. Thanks for reminding.

May I politley inquire as to why Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is not on your list?
