I was at work yesterday and had to pick a bunch of manga titles from anchor bay, one of these was Ghost In The Shell double pack. Now I remember watching this years and years ago. I feel like getting my hands on it again. However after searching online e-tailers there is a LOT of GITS stuff...so where do I start, what to watch first. I hate seeing things out of sequence. From what I can tell there are a few movies, at least 2 different mini-series...i'm so confused.
 
Ghost in the Shell movies 1 & 2. These are entirely seperate to the series. Same universe but different time lines if that makes any sense.

As far as the series goes this is the order to watch:

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Series 1 & 2.

Ghost in the Shell Solid State Society.

Thankyou so much...appreciate the fast reply...just gotta find somewhere doing them cheap now.

I'm guessing you know a little about anime, anything you'd suggest similar to this. I know there is a HUGE anime thread on here, but it's not specific enough for me :)
 
If you post in that thread for a recommendation you'll definitley get some good suggestions out of people.

A few I would suggest you check out would be:

Cowboy Bebop
Bubble Gum Crisis Tokyo 2040
Paprika
Appleseed

Princess Mononoke is different in genre but still highly recommended. As is the Ninja Scroll movie. I wouldn't bother with the Ninja Scroll series unless you're desperate for something to watch.

This is a pretty good site for recommendations based on a title you already know.

Oh and just for the record there are 2 ghost in the shell movies made out of series 1 & 2 called Laughing Man and Individual 11. These are definitley worth watching but I'd recommend you watch series 1 & 2 first.
 
Alphanumerical order. Just kidding.
I've watched all of it apart from the 2nd gig, which might be why I found Solid State Society a bit of a let down.
