Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2023
There was a pretty big time lapse between me watching the series and this "sequal", but Solid State Society starts as fast, if not faster paced and awesome than where it left off. The intro, even the title menu will get you pumped and grinning like a school boy/girl.
Huge contributor to that was the OST; a lot has been recycled from the series, but this is by no means a bad thing. I believe GitS' OSTs to be the most provoking, adaptive and beautiful i've heard (NGE is up there too).
As I clicked play, I was metaphorically slapped in the face; I was passively watching the show while doing a few other house activities. You can't simply let GitS roll in the background and expect to comprehend it without dedicating your full attention.
And as always, the english cast is phenominal.
Bottom Line:
-Phenominal dub
-Beautiful OST
-Story line twists that will leave your head spinning even after the credits start rolling
-That faint romantic tension (it's not just me right?) between Motoko and (maybe Batou, or maybe some urge she just hasn't fulfilled yet in life. I haven't pinpointed it.)
-Must buy for a fan of any degree
Well, this film take political science fiction to its height, and also does very nicely with the technology and action aspects. And the ending is friggin phenomenal. Sure the GIS has always been wonderful with its ability to paint the world in shades of gray, or at least to say that sometimes the black is the better choice over the white, but in this story, the viewer will find it impossible to make a judement call on which side was fighting for the greater good.
BTW, watching these movies in English is pathetic because they choose voices that seem appropriate for Children's Cartoons. Be serious, GIS is absolutely not for children, if, IF, they can comprehend the concepts being thrown around, there is no way they can actually appreciate them.
Thoughtful and considered anime is a rare thing, with the majority being so focused on the animation and less so on the story, or high on concept while being low on practice. Ghost in the Shell: SAC Solid State Society is the end of the Stand Alone Complex series, and while it's a good ending, it only serves to highlight how well made the series was, and how it could have continued for beyond the ~50 episodes produced.
While Arise is good, and serves as a well produced reboot, or prequel, to this long running series, Stand Alone Complex continues to be my favorite iteration.
My only true gripe is that the subtitles still have minor yet glaring mistakes that simply should not exist. For instance, near the end Batou refers to a Tachikoma and the sub reads "touch coma". Really? One of the most recognizable characters/words from the series and they mistake it for gibberish? An extremely minor gripe, to be fair.
Overall this is a fitting ending to the acclaimed series, but I'm selfish, and will always want more.

Premetto che il film può essere visto a se stante, ma è veramente consigliata la visione delle due serie Complex precedenti, almeno gli episodi collegati alle vicende dell'uomo che ride e gli undici individuali.
Non mi dilungherò sulla qualità video o audio del blu-ray (che trovo ottima) ma voglio fare un approfondimento sul perchè sarete soddisfatti dopo aver visto questo OVA.
La trama sembra quasi il contorno per far pensare alla tematica centrale del film che risulta essere l'insensibilità verso la vita e la morte in un contesto futuristico dove esse perdono di senso, e l'individuo (non più individuo in quanto collegato permanentemente in rete) è disorientato, alla perenne ricerca del "ghost", di sentire l'anima che muta dando una parvenza di realtà, di umanità relegata in fredde parti cibernetiche che simulano il corpo umano.
A colpi di memorie hackerate, resettate, sparatorie, rapimenti, fraintendimenti e marciume politico, la Sezione 9 da un lato e il Maggiore Kusanagi dall'altro si troveranno a dar la caccia al "marionettista" (non confondetelo col burattinaio del primo GITS!) scavando nella profondità dell'indagine e scoprendo cos'è il Solid State Society.
Di più non voglio raccontare perchè si rischia di perdere il gusto del film a forza di anticipazioni.
Il film comunque chiude il cerchio su 3 tematiche fondamentali di individualità nella condivisione della società delle serie Stand Alone Complex:
- Manifestazione di individualità fusa nella condivisione della rete
- Individualità come guida a una collettività in una traformazione del network
- Individualità perpetuata e preservata tra vita e morte fusa nella rete superiore
Spero di avervi incuriosito quel tanto che basta per la visione del film.
For anyone who hasn't seen the movie you definitely have to watch it. It has a great plot and amazing music composed by Yoko Kanno.
Originellement, il avait été annoncé que la série et les 2 films (Ghost in The Shell et Ghost in The Shell : Innocence) n'avait rien à voir l'un avec l'autre. Ce film fait le lien entre la deuxième saison et le premier film - ce qui sous-entend que la série est une immense préquelle aux films.
La série est très bonne et le film ne déroge pas à la règle, il est lui aussi très bon.
A noter, c'est le seul "vrai" film de la série. Les autres sont des compilations d'épisodes re-montés.
