Okay, I've watched this series a while ago and don't remember most of it (I plan to rewatch it). I just noticed there's a Ghost in the shell movie. Is it in any way related to the anime? Should it be watched beforehand? I know 2nd GIG comes after the first season, but the movie is throwing me off. D: The 1995 one.

What about the Solid State Society one? Is it after the first season? Or after 2nd GIG? D:


Edit: I just noticed there's a few other series... If it's not too much trouble, could someone post a chronological order of them?

Ohand, please don't be all "OMGLOL GO SEARCH" because I'm asking those willing to help me out. You don't have to if you don't want. :]

Only SAC and 2nd Gig are directly related to each other, and even like that you don't necessarily need to watch them by order.

They are all separate and unrelated stories, on the same universe, same characters and sometimes same stories, but you can follow them anyway.

Also, it does not matter that you don't want to Search, we had a thread exactly like this two weeks ago AND there is a forum just for GitS that you could look at.

Movie universe: GitS -> GitS 2: Innocence
TV universe: SAC -> 2nd Gig -> SSS

Though you really should've checked one of the other threads...

This might be considered off topic, but Ghost in the Shell: Innocence is an excellent movie. I've seen some episodes of the Ghost in the Shell, but it doesn't really interest me.

Despite the fact that this is on Adult Swim (which I watch), and it's a very known anime, I STILL haven't watched it....

I'll probably watch this someday. Btw, you are supposed to post this under the GiTS board.

The 1995 GitS movie is sooooo good. Very cerebral film, and not pretentious at all. I thought the sequel film was a bit too forward with all of the quotes and philosophizing, whereas the 1995 film did it right.

It's definitely a groundbreaking film, too - one of the top anime films, for sure - and a very good film, period.
