  • This is a masterpiece among masterpieces for its time.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (SAC) Season 1 is my all time favorite anime. SAC 2 and a few other truly exceptional animes around that time period are very good (Trigun, Cowboy Bebop, Outlaw Star, etc.) but this one for me takes the cake. In my opinion the storyline in SAC 1 is the most intricately woven masterpiece of this time period. It has such a brilliant mix of specialized cop/detective/military backdrop with technology and futuristic elements wrapped together if it doesn't captivate you I am not sure the type of story that will. While every episode within SAC 1 is not directly related to the primary storyline arch of the 'Laughing Man' Incident (The primary incident investigated by Section 9 during this season), they still take some fun sidetracks to build out some interesting backstory on both the characters and world they exist in. SAC 2 is not quite as good as SAC 1 in my opinion but the storyline is still pretty good. Most of the Ghost in the Shell movies are pretty mid. They always left me wanting the awe I felt watching SAC 1 but I never got there with the movies. If there is one anime series and specific season I would recommend to someone above all the other legendary classics, it is this one right here. For the physical basics: Physical discs are flawless, play perfectly, and captions work just fine. It is strange that for this time period of anime that many of these other classics are extremely difficult if not impossible to find in such good sets as this one. ... show more

  • It's a good edition of the show. If you like the show I would get it.
OK, I watched this show as it was aired in the U.S. Think it aired on Toonami, off the top of my head. I have seen people write about the Japanese dialog getting cut in with the English dub. Well, when it aired (hold onto something!) the Japanese dialog cut in while the English dialog was happening. Some of the characters orientation or what have you are Japanese. I believe the Japanese dialog use was to show characters that are native Japanese speakers. If you use two languages to communicate it can be at times to slip into your native tongue. The error people are finding I believe is meant to make in a subtle way understand part of some of the character's culture. I think it is pretty cool. Also, I dont care about kipping around in episodes. I did not factor that in. I dont care. That would be up to you. Picture image. It looks good. Real good :) Im watching on a nice Sony 4k TV. The colors and shading look great to me. The CGI if you are picky looks just a tiny, tiny, bit pixelated. Still, This was made a while ago. With that understand you are watching CGI done right for it's time. Blah, blah, blah, image quality looks great. Audio - music, tanks, gun fire, radio talk. sounds solid. At 20 bucks this is a must buy for a fan. Unless they come out with some crazy great 4k edition. This will do great for now. ... show more

  • Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Season 1 review
I've never seen the original anime movie this was based on. This series was very enjoyable the first time I watch it. I'm very happy that I purchased this anime series. The English voice actors did an incredible job adding life and emotions to the characters.

  • Great anime at a great price.
Anyone who has seen this anime back when it aired knows how good it is. It is great to have it on disc in 1080p quality.

How do you need a review for this. Watch it already. Better than the live action movie.

  • Clips Not Clipping
The CDs were delivered fine by Amazon, however the 4 stars are due to the fact that the clips for the CDs do not fasten AT ALL. The ENGLISH audio vs JAPANESE is quite startling. That maybe the US's issue because for whatever reason, voice even when screaming are quiet while booms and bangs are obnoxious. The Japanese audio effects are all on par with eachother. Loud where it should be, clear and distinctive conversations, but not the English audio as I said. There was minor smearing on the discs, but randomly, which doesn't bother me. Smears are easy to take care of, and I do mean they are minor smears, nothing gaudy. No scratches on any of the disc despite the clips to hold them in place wkthin the case being just for looks. Gonna have to go buy a DVD slip case, now though, so that's does bother me. Hence the 4 stars. Anyways, if you are a fan of the series, I do recommend, but you will also need to purchase or find a dvd slip for them to keep them pristine. BLU-RAYs are already finicky. Oh, to put in perspective the audio quality disparity, normally I listen to my TV (A brand called ELEMENT, idk the model but its over 7 years old now) at 3 to 5 depending on what source Im watching TV. YouTube on 3, most others on 5 as most YouTubers tend to quality edit their audio to not have to have it blast to hear anything. For the Blu-rays, I'm having to cycle between 5 and 9 to hear or not become deaf during fight scenes. When I originally watched this series on AS as a kid, I don't recall if the audio was the same back then. It was over 20 years ago, or close to it now. I'd have it low to avoid waking my dad and uncle since I had to sneak out of my room to watch it 😅🥲 so it was already low and subtitles were on so I could watch and read it. Anyways, yeah, they play, were delivered fine, just audio discrepancies and the clips. For the price, can't complain too much, but I wish the clips did actually work. ... show more

  • Really Enjoyable
I thought this was pretty good. I do think there could have been more though. I know some people don't like that each episode is a chapter, and I get that. I think there could have been a lot more included more story, more action. I love cyberpunk stuff like this, especially Ghost in the Shell, so I would have just liked a lot more, but that's just me. Overall, I think this is a great addition to the franchise. ... show more

  • Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex Part One
The product arrived in perfect condition. Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex is an anime series set in the year 2030 in a hightech world where cybernetic augments anc cyborgs are the norm. It follows a team of National Public Agents as they discover the cyber terrorist known as The Laughing Man has resurfaced after 6 years of silence. This show is a sci-fi, action, crime drama masterpiece that is a must watch for any fan of any of these topics or a fan of anime in general. The show has the same characters and general premise as the movie, but it doesn't share a story so don't worry if you haven't seen it. But I highly recommend the movie as well. This comes with the complete first season, all 26 episodes, on 4 Blu-Ray discs. I can't recommend this show enough. The mailing process was great and the show is amazing. ... show more
