Avail Yourself Ghost In The Shell: Stand Alone Complex 1 Brought To You By Yū Kinutani Displayed As Copy

decent enough introduction to the series' second universe but the anime covers it better,
Felt incredibly Western. Flojo si lo comparamos con los otros mangas de Ghost in the shell, Aún siendo adaptación de Stand Alone Complex, no veo que me transmita la misma emoción que la serie.
Great art and interesting story but the pacing is very slow, It takes so long to get to the main part of the mission and they recap after every chapter.
At least the art is different in the recaps,

I've read a lot of Alita so naturally I compare the two, This series seems more grounded in reality but I'm not sure if that's a good thing, I'm expecting the rest of it to be mostly centered around dialog rather than action This first volume adapts the first episode of the SAC tv show.
Some scenes are added but mostly the stories are identical, The art is nothing special, Trying this out too.

Just a big action setpiece so far, Not quite sure what the point here is adds nothing to what was in the show, which was better, so you may as well watch that.
Vol.faithfully adapts the story from episode“Section” of the anime TV series, It include a bonus short story from the “Tachikoma Days” manga by Masayuki Yamamoto,

I am already a big fan of GITS and of cyberpunk stories, but I particularly like this manga series because it offers strong designs and art, excellent storytelling and constitute an easy read.
It is quite enjoyable if you like investigative stories with lots of action sometime quite violent, rich sociopolitical themes and that are set in a cyberpunk future.
I must admit that it has been a long time since I took so much pleasure in the reading a manga.
I highly recommend it.

Read my full comments on sitelink comg This is just a straight up almost word for word scene for scene adaption of the Anime Series by the same name.
It is good, the art is good, the bonus story was amusing, Good stuff. Ghost in the Shell has a long and convoluted history,

Known as Mobile Armored Riot Police / 攻殻機動隊 / Kōkaku Kidōtai in Japanese, it started life as a manga series, written and illustrated by Masamune Shirow, in.
There was a major anime movie in, and a highprofile sequel, Ghost in the Shell: Innocence, followed in.
I watched both those films, and that was the limit of my exposure to Ghost in the Shell until now.


Incame Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, a Japanese anime television series written and directed by Kenji Kamiyama.
A Japanese manga series, drawn by Yu Kinutani, was launched inin Weekly Young Magazine, “Episode: Section" is the first volume, The English translation was published inby Kodansha Comics, There are also various spinoffs, in film, TV and manga,

I havent read a lot of manga but in relation to what little I have read Tezuka Osamas Buddha and Mizuki Shigerus GeGeGenoKitarō, this doesnt compare well.
Theres some stunning artwork depicting futuristic scenes and sexy cyborg women, and some thoughtprovoking concepts about the evolution of the mind in the digital age, but the storytelling lacks clarity.
In its busy complexity it seems rather a biproduct of the highlevel concepts and ravishing visuals, In all these respects, its rather like the two films I saw, Theyre achingly beautiful at times, and sexy, and some of the philosophical questions relating to mind and self that they explore are fascinating and important but theyre confusing and, unless Im missing something and I could be, I cant help suspecting that theyre more style than substance.
That said, this manga is less confusing than the films,

A lot of people love Ghost in the Shell, and reading this has made me want to rewatch the films but and despite, incredibly,

the whole thing being available for free on the Manga Reader app for the iPhone I probably wont be reaching for Episodeof this particular manga series just yet.
Finally, I like Ghost in the Shell! I read all three volumes of the original manga and just could not get into it, but this is more like it.
This was a cool espionage story with scifi elements and plenty of action that never went too deep into the cyberpunk elements that ruined the original series for me.
I did think the art was better on the original series, but I was so happy to read a story I could follow it made up for any differences in art.


If you were like me and didn't care for the original Ghost in the Shell, you may want to give this series a try because this is more what I was expecting when I read the first series.
This version of Ghost in the Shell is a continuation of the of the anime's recent reinterpretation of Masamune Shirow's original manga and anime.
Major Kunsanagi remains a central character but the cyberpunk is dropped a little bit more in the background and the other members of Sectionare given a chance in the spotlight.
Here Togusa, a former policeman, uses his detective skills to unravel the threads of the case, effective storytelling, but even work inspired by Shirow still leaves me a little cold, No warmth for the characters, Manga version of the Stand Alone Complex anime, Nice art, and story is solid addition to the GITS series overall, I like it. Being a huge fan of GITS since its first release decades ago I am strongly disappointed by this volume.
I didnt expect something as good as Shirows original series but its so far out it hurts,

The book follows the SAC animes first episode so its ok I liked it then, Ilike it now.
Not mind blowing but good decent cyberpunk,

My problem is with the art, Functional at best. No soul, no dynamics. Poor settings. Not even as good as the animes, It looks like Kinutani is under poorly digested western influences, It doesnt look like your classic manga rather like a westerner trying to draw like a mangaka but with too much influential background to really do that.
Weird. And unconvincing.
Storytelling and pacing are barely functional too, In a series that deals with a lot of action it feels flat, it falls flat,
Classic revisited

Enjoyed the anime and definitely recommend the Manga so far, The complex storyline was familiar but good to revisit all the same, Plus bonus amusing story about the tachikoma at the end, Prelim : I adore Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex, Its one of my top five animes of all time quite frankly, so when I saw Kodansha America releasing the manga I got excited.


Except this is literally a scene by scene rehash of the first episode of series one the 'Laughing Man' season.
I'm pretty sure if I read this while watching the first episode it would match up almost perfectly.
I don't know how I feel about that, I was hoping this would be more stories with the Sectioncrew canon with Solid State Society or not.


There is also the matter of the artwork, which is good and sufficient for the purposes, but leaves many of the characters looking.
. . flat. Devoid of emotion. The Major Motoko especially as she is fully cybernetic, The spark that the anime gives her because of movement is lost here unfortunately,

Full to be posted at Poisoned Rationality I really am a fan of Ghost in the Shell GITS for years.
The movie was fantastic and the first season/book in ghost in the shell: stand alone complex SAC reprezented Motoko Kusanagi and her bond with her coworkers in sectionand more introduction in her caracther.
She is a strong fmc that even thought she is,a cyborg she still has feelings towards others and is a protoganist that doesn't fail to impress others with her actions in battles.
It's a story I can never get bored to, And if you decide to read the ghost in the shell manga or whatch GITS then read the trigger warnings before! Can't wait to read the whole series!.
