I just finished watching the first episode of Ghost in the Shell TV series, subtitled "Stand Alone Complex". The first episode does present some nice, futuristic ideas such as electronic informations that are displayed right in front of your eyes by connecting a PDA like object to the cortex. It seems in this universe, human bodies have been equipped with various cybernetic enhancements which make them capable of interacting with other electronic devices. I think that's an interesting idea in a creepy kind of way.
Having said that, the series itself seems a bit dull and I find the characters (which includes Major Kusanagi from "Ghost in the Shell" movie) just don't have as much personality as they should. I also don't like the general look of the series which seems like a mish mash of 2D and 3D animation without the smooth transition between the two art styles. As a result, the 3D elements stick out like a sore thumb (here's looking at you, Tachikoma!).
