Oh finally, some actual new material now.

Good stuff though. I liked how it expanded on the technology fiction aspect of the franchise, including from what I understand some sort of virus going on in their society with false memories. Pyromania is quite a mysterious character imo. I don't even think US intelligence knows much about this guy.

Exciting episode.

Suspect with double nationalities. Wow, it seems like Tsuda-san's character can control the sign.

Mini Logicomas are cute when trying to connect. So Tsuda-san's character is the enemy this time with hacking the brain.

ENDLESS EIGHT IS OVER

No but in all seriousness this episode was really good. Not exactly worth the wait, but definitely refreshing after eight weeks straight of cut and paste episodes. I'm psyched for next week, and even more so for the sequel movie.

I didn't watch the previous episodes because when I first watch episode 1, it's seems to be the same as one of the movie. Is there new arc for Alternative Architecture or everything is the same as previous movies?
But it's important to remember that a movie review is subjective;it only gives you one person's opinion.

It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.If elitist don't exist, casual pleb and shit taste also don't exist.

Episode one through eight are the movies episodes, the 9th and 10th episode are the new ones, so, if you have seen the movies skip the first 8 episodes and start from 9.

Very nice episode which was quite intense, really loved the hacking sequence as well! Let's see what the last episode will offer us though!

So VV's (AI impersonating a human or a Ghost or whatever back in episode 5-6) use of the prosthetic body was correct as Jeril just confirmed that it was the recommended one for American diplomatic activities. Aramaki apparently knows because of his exchange of stares with the Major.

Logicoma disables own optical camouflage in front of the sniper targeting Togusa: Kyaa! LOL

I liked the visualization of the network hack and their combined defensive efforts to defeat it.

Even Pyromania, the broker is nothing but a vessel. What if Fire-Starter is a virus which has evolved a very competent AI compared to the current GitS AIs, then that AI became self-aware and had a Ghost, sort of a logical and perhaps evolutionary progression? I don't know what to think anymore...

Major's smile when she was told failure was unacceptable ... so good :D
Really good action filled episode, always something GITS had :)

Logicoma's make this show even better.

Amazing :D

Finally some new content. I love the introduction of Fire Starter. Lol Jeril is basically VV in every part. Even voice.

If Kurutsu is behind all of this, i can't wait till Major kicks her ass!!

I love how Major is now much more prepared now. Hacking preparations, backup on standby, Logicoma much more active. Kinda like SAC Motoko now :)

And they finally bring back hacking!!! I miss that in SAC.

When the original Firestarter uploaded himself in the net. It's basically a reference at the end of first movie and 2nd GiG :)

Can't wait for the last one!

So her old boss is the culprit, huh? Well she seemed kinda suspicious all along with her henchmen looking like villains.

Episode that, despite my hesitations, managed to tease my attention, reaffirming a speech that I thought was dead and buried, or give the answers that are not given in the OVA to certain questions that arise irremediably after the vision of it. Mediocre graphic quality, but despite the story is fast and not very detailed, it is still very interesting to follow. Reviewing the character of VV has a certain effect.

Togusa is a bit reckless, putting himself on the front lines like this. Especially when he's just become a father.
