anime: Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex: Second Gig

Note to self:  Don't watch things that require at least some attention to detail when you're half dead.  Seriously.

Anyway, GITS?  Still about the coolest anime ever. Techno-noir cybernetic detectives/troubleshooters who kick butt.  For a quick rundown on the series, click here. 
 
I'm still too out of it for a proper writeup(at least I've been hungry today and last night, and the complete lack of voice means my throat is trying to heal itself-not about to go near church tomorrow, though...not going near the kids-who will be upset if I avoid them-and not about to cough my way through service) but:  Kuze plot wasn't quite as good as the Laughing Man plot in season 1, though between the two, I prefer Kuze as a character.  Not nearly enough Togusa for me(still my favorite, and, IMO, he really does make the show because he's the average joe family man with a revolver who holds his own among the cybernetic machine gun toting superhumans) but it didn't really hamper my enjoyment.  Jealous Batou was endearing(ok, Batou is lovable and endearing in general)  Thing as a whole was, of course, great.

As I understand it, all that's left is a movie that'll be stateside in a month or two, then no more GITS: SAC.  Which makes me sad.

There's also 3 light novels. Nothing profound, but solid fun. They each cover roughly a story arc for the show. You can plow through the whole lot of them in a night or two at work, I'd imagine (they're a little shorter than the FMA novels, based on thickness anyway).

especially now that they took internet away at work...
