What makes us human? A body made out of flesh and blood? Emotions? These are the kind of questions we ask ourselves when we look at the complex universe of Ghost in The Shell.
Ghost in the shell alternative architecture is a 10 episode series that covers a more condensed version of the 4 Arise Borders 1,2,3,4 movies plus a new story arc, each divided in 2 episodes.

Now, some details: First off, GitS Arise: Alternative Architecture (or GitSA:AA) is a more-concise version of the four GitS: Arise movies, which basically focus on the creation of The Major's team (which eventually becomes the core ...
