  --- Brief synopsis ---
  In the near future, humanity has developed machines in their likeness to preserve the minds of dying souls. What originally started out as brain modifications to allow a person to connect directly into any standard computer or network technology, became a massive movement to recreate the entire human body. The line that separates man from machine has just been crossed. Cyborgs walk, talk, and look like normal people, but beneath their artificial layer of skin lies a destructive force capable of raising havoc at any moment. Either through electronic connection or the sheer enhanced strength, robotic criminals have become increasingly more and more dangerous.
  
  A special task force named Public Peace Section 9, made up of both flesh and blood humans, and mechanical cyborgs, has been assembled to handle special situations regarding robotic citizens and other machines with minds of their own. Each member has their own strong points that come in handy during each mission, but when dealing with such highly advanced criminals, strong points are second only to cold, hard skill.

  I watched both the movies and they left me wanting more. With these 26 standalone episodes, you can once again be transported into their world.
  
  Nice individual stories with a major story arc that spans untill the end. Slightly political in nature but engaging nevertheless.
  
  Smart, stylish and thrilling. A must watch.
  
  After finishing this series, you can go for another round with Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex 2gig. That's another 26 episodes.

  5/5 (for 2gig also)

  You can watch anyone first. They are not really linked, story-wise. Everyone's a standalone episodes, including the movie.
