Honestly, with the other shows - just watch Standalone Complex and Standalone Complex 2nd Gig, and leave it there. There are certainly interesting things in the rest of the franchise, but outside of the Oshii films, SAC is the definitive GitS.

I actually have the classic film on Blu-ray, along with both seasons of Stand Alone Complex, though for added fun, I also got a box set of the original manga with it's two follow-ups, and because I'm insane, the 2017 live-action adaptation as well and MY THOUGHTS ON IT ARE...it's okay

The live action wasn't bad lol
The haters were in full force but it wasn't that bad

I got a couple versions of the OG movie and the Blue Ray remaster adds some janky CG scenes... Very George Lucas feeling... But I recall ya can turn those off so why even

I missed most of the shows tho 🫠

Alright fair. I wanted to go back and watch some but it's been so long I feel like that ship sailed

So I'm just ready to start fresh with the new show. Fresh and unbiased I feel
