## Resource

Follow the Anime Field Guide ! https://animefieldguide.carrd.co Email us! animefieldguide@gmail.com Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a highly ambitious cyberpunk police drama series by Production I.G. and the full directorial debut of Kenji Kamiyama. And it is my favorite anime! What better way to celebrate my (second) first year of podcasting?! My review specifically concerns season 1 (2002) as this was originally produced to build up advance hype for Mamoru Oshii's follow-up film, Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence. But thanks to the popularity of Stand Alone Complex at home and overseas, Production I.G. greenlit a second season for 2004 that has enough of a staff shake-up that I will cover "Second G.I.G." in a later episode.
