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

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

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.

Really fast-paced, full of action. The Major's fight with the narc in the armored suit was cool, but out of character for her imo. Great episode all around.

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.

I am so flabbergasted, damn it.

What a tense episode was that. Finally, I am starting to grow fond of the series.

@JoeChip The show is amazing but some of the details can go over my head at times.
