Ghost in the shell -- timeline?

<< < (2/3) > >>

shabutie:
I'd say watch them in the following order


Movie
SAC
SAC 2nd Gig
Innocence
Solid State Society

As that's pretty much the order they go in

HUGE SPOILER FOR THE OP: DO NOT READ (THATS WHAT THE SPOILER TAGS ARE FOR)
(click to show/hide)I was under the impression that shortly (very very shortly) after the events of 2nd Gig, she leaves Section 9.  So even if Innocence and SAC aren't technically part of the same 'storyline' they still flow well together.  And watching Solid State after Innocence makes more sense, because you then know that Motoko has left S9

Honestly though, I though Innocence was lacking compared to the others  :-\

Agreed. That's pretty much how I looked at it as well. Same with that Innocence was lacking... it just wasn't up to par as the other two movies. Still pretty good in the grand scheme of things, but for a Ghost in the Shell movie, just average.

Havoc10K:
Gits SAC/2nd gig are taking place at the same time as Movie and Innocence

this is how it works:
Ghost In The Shell <> Stand Alone Complex (Alternate Universe wher the puppet master didn't go active, istead we had the laughing man)
Ghost In The Shell Second Gig
Ghost In The Shell: Innocence <> Solid State Society timeline (Alternate Universe again)

the reason for this is:
Gits movie 1 develops around the time the puppetmaster becomes very active and section 9 investigates
as an alternate happening, SAC develops without puppetmaster involvement, wich leads to a different course of action, SAC is an answer to a question, "What if pupetmaster case didn't exist?" informed by the makers of the original movie, the series continues to develop in 2nd GiG, where Major doesn't have much problems with her work and her morals, everything is different here.

by the time GITS: Innocence works out it's plot, SSS in the SAC universe emerges, the timeline for those is exactly the same, Innocence stil ldevelops around some stuff left behind by Puppetmaster case, altough this time around it's a kidnapping syndicate, and androids going suicidal, it doesn't show directly but it's still under some influence of the puppetmaster case, we meet Major again but not directly, at the exactly same time in the Sac Universe, Major investigates the so called SSS case alone,

the timeline of the movies is exactly like that
GITS <> SAC/2nd gig
GITS2<> SSS

to me, all GITS content is great.

Sheytan:
Watch the S.A.C. season one, two and Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society then the film adaptions in order or the other way around, the TV series (Movie) and the film adaptions is separate from each other

The Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society TV movie and the first film adaption are both based on the puppeteer story (the first GITS manga)

Sorry for my crappy English

Micharus:
More answers. Excellent!

GitS is going to have to wait for a bit now, started watching "Black Lagoon" and it's kinda sucked me in.

Now I know what people are talking about when they say "Revy is hot", too bad they didn't mention "Sister Eda", who is also very nice.

I've always wondered what the nuns with a cute face look like off duty.

Oh and the "Church of Violence" makes me laugh.

Revy + Eda =  :o :o
