| Best episode so far, Loved how the major had revenge for Togusa, Turns out that the laughing man is the same person in the wheel chair and it seemed there was a another organization that's behind the blackmail of the companies. 10/10 episode |
 |
| they made that last fight scene almost identical to the one in the movie |
Motoko vs mech reminds me another movie |

| brooo the last 2 epiodes have been epic, wish the entire season would have been like this. Instead we had a lot of hit and miss episodic episodes.. Unfortunate, but this final arc looks promising |
| Major's cyborg body is robust asf |

| Mouth dropped seeing the Major lose her cool like that and go berserk on that guy in the mecha. Such a great series. |
| The tachikoma would've been useful against that armoured suit. I find Motoko wasting valuable ammo like that a bit out of character, considering she's been against Batou going on operations where she felt his emotions would take over. I don't know why she decided to jump out of cover and take it on instead of just leading it through the building and buying time until stronger guns arrived. The action in this episode was intense, but it felt like they dumbed the characters down for it to add more suspense. Even that armoured suit could be taken and used by Section 9 if Motoko wasn't intent on damaging it. Alright episode, but it felt tacky and overly dramatic at times. It throws characters and events at you, and has them act in the most hammy manner possible for impact, without any understanding of how efficient and rational they usually are. Batou just standing there in front of Aoi and doing nothing until his vision is taken away, only for him to throw a tantrum and then start shooting into the air was hilariously stupid. |

| This was such a tense episode. Who would get there first, Section 9 or the NNS??? The race was climactic enough, but the fight afterwards was the cherry on top. It was the big guns versus the big guns with all of those assassins having cloaking abilities like The Major, and that giant mech at the end that nearly killed her was very reminiscent of the first ghost in the shell film. This is definitely my new favorite episode, sucks that in the end they still couldn't save Imakurusu. But I'm glad the laughing man gave Batou the files before going ghost once more. He might not be such a clear cut antagonist after all. |

| @Magicmist Most people miss the continuity mistake in this episode |
| Overdramatic clusterfuck. 5/10 |

@JoeChip 5/10 is mid. I haven't tallied the results yet but the music only carries it so far. Maybe the tachikoma will make it stand out more.
| @XCT3 How convenient of you to ignore what's said, let me make it more clear for your edgy brain, I am saying you rated BOTH Arise and SAC 5 yet you claim SAC is better than Arise. How funny. |

| @JoeChip You appear to enjoy trolling forums (1358 comments) more than watching anime (8 completed). Look up "rounding" and "tallying". |
| the furious nature of Major felt more dramatic due to her earlier decision of suggesting Batou to control his emotions. Further her cyborg body sustaining the fight against a mecha and manning an anti-tank rifle single handedly, my mind is cooking theories about the makers of her body are watching all of this from the shadows and using it to further fuel their R&D |

| That part when the Major was shooting that heavy weapon with one armor was fire! |
If you are going to disagree with me, don't bother talking to me. I will seriously hurt you! |
