The best thing about it is how consistent it is, and what a quality product it is in every way. Having a solid cast helps (though Motoko is head and shoulders above everyone else), and the format is genius. It dedicates itself to having both standalone episodes and continuing story episodes, woven together rather than having a bunch of one followed by a series of the other. It works well to keep you interested in the main story while also developing all the characters. S2 is (mostly) better at this, due to having more serious developments for the MCs in the standalone episodes, most notably the one about young Motoko. I preferred the main story for S1 over S2s though. The Laughing Man was awesome, and S2s main plot wasnt as interesting, though it did lead to a few excellent moments for our main characters. On top of that, the show looks and sounds amazing. Yoko Kanno soundtracks are a little bit hit or miss for me, but this one is by far the best of them all. All three SAC OPs are fantastic, and the insert songs are the best. I Cant Be Cool, I Do, Run Rabbit Junk, Living Inside the Shell, and many others are all excellent. The animation is consistently great through each season. The series is kind of the epitome of anime in some ways. Every element just comes together somehow, and it seems so natural. Enough to make me a bit interested in those young Motoko OVAs (though Ive still never watched them), and also interested in that Netflix SAC S3 (really hope itll actually be good!). On a last note, I did actually enjoy the first movie a bit more than the TV shows, though I watched it so long ago I dont quite remember why. It was just a really neat experience. Not that that makes the TV series bad, of course. Theyre great shows that everyone can enjoy. --- Congrats to Advokaiser on winning the 2018 Guru Contest!
