Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex[b] is a Japanese anime television series produced by Production I.G and based on Masamune Shirow's manga Ghost in the Shell. It was written and directed by Kenji Kamiyama, with original character design by Hajime Shimomura and a soundtrack by Yoko Kanno. The first season aired from October 2002 to October 2003 and was positively received by critics. A second season, titled Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG,[c] aired from January 2004 to January 2005. Critical response to the series was generally positive.
The series centers on the members of an elite law enforcement unit known as Public Security Section 9 as they investigate cybercrime and terrorism cases; the cases in the first season often are connected to their pursuit of an elite "Super Class A" hacker and corporate terrorist known only as "The Laughing Man", whose actions end up creating the series' titular "Stand Alone Complex". A series of associated short comic animations, titled Tachikomatic Days, aired after each episode. These shorts star the Tachikoma "think-tanks" from the main series, and they typically relate directly to the story of the preceding Stand Alone Complex episode.
The first season was adapted into a feature-length OVA titled The Laughing Man, which was released in 2005. The series also received video game spin-offs for the PlayStation 2, PlayStation Portable, and mobile phones. 2nd GIG was also later adapted into a feature-length OVA entitled Individual Eleven, which was released in 2006.[3] Solid State Society, a TV-film sequel to the Stand Alone Complex series, was also released in that year.[4] A new ONA anime series installment titled Ghost in the Shell: SAC_2045[d] was formally announced in December 2018 and the first season was released on Netflix on 23 April 2020. The second season was released on 23 May 2022.[5][6][7] Both seasons consist of 12 episodes each, with Kenji Kamiyama directing one season, and Shinji Aramaki directing the other season.[8]

Shirow's cyberpunk world has been brought to vivid, thriving life. Although his characters are slightly redesigned to better fit an animated series, the backgrounds are beautifully portrayed.
