## Description

In the not so distant future, mankind has advanced to a state where complete body transplants from flesh to machine is possible. This allows for great increases in both physical and cybernetic prowess and blurring the lines between the two worlds. However, criminals can also make full use of such technology, leading to new and sometimes, very dangerous crimes. In response to such innovative new methods, the Japanese Government has established Section 9, an independently operating police unit which deals with such highly sensitive crimes. Led by Daisuke Aramaki and Motoko Kusanagi, Section 9 deals with such crimes over the entire social spectrum, usually with success. However, when faced with a new A level hacker nicknamed "The Laughing Man," the team is thrown into a dangerous cat and mouse game, following the hacker's trail as it leaves its mark on Japan.

Review: DVD vs. Blu-Ray version - I also own the DVD versions of SAC 1st and 2nd gig and expected an upgrade in picture and sound quality for the Blu-Ray. First of all the facts: DVD picture: Between 5 to 8 Mbit/s, sound: DD 5.1 448 kb/s Blu-Ray picture: Between 10 to over 40 Mbit/s peak, sound: DTS-HD MA English between 3 to 5 Mbits/s, Japanese between 2 to 4,5 Mbits/s Somehow, the prerequisites for having a better picture quality seems to be on the Blu-Ray. But... My testing environment: PC running Win10 and PowerDVD18, connected to a Samsung 4k UHD UE850 screen. My visual impression. The DVD shows much more artifacts in this environment. Jaggies on lines, not so sharp areas, unsteady frame rate. The Blu-Ray has a very steady frame rate, no jaggies but the picture looks very soft. The DVD has a sharper, crisper image at least in most scenes. Sound is really no comparison. The soundtrack of the DVD sounds dull and thin whereas the Blu-Ray's lossless soundtrack is clear, crisp and has a lot of bass, the DVD has not. Explosions sound like explosion on the Blu-Ray Some of the differences in picture quality may be due to the upscaling process from SD to UHD. I don't know. But for me it was worth the upgrade regarding the sound quality alone. The picture could be better, I think judging from e.g. the difference between the DVD version of 'Origin' and the Blu-Ray. So be warned that the improvement in picture quality of the Blu-Ray is not this much, compared to DVD. Because this is - IMO - an outstanding anime, if not the best anime series of all - due to the depth and excellent story telling, I give it a full five stars review.
Review: Two of the finest anime series available - To briefly summarise the series, it's an existential-political-science fiction-action-thriller. Some may find it too slow paced at times (more so the first season), but most would be surprised at the depth and sophistication of the writing. At times can be so detailed and complex that it's difficult to comprehend, but it's almost always worth the mental effort to do so, as the concepts explored are truly mind blowing at times. One thing is for sure, even when viewing with the English dub, it demands your full attention at all times! For the record, I strongly recommend the dub. The voice cast is consistently exceptional. The quality of both the sound and video in this set (Blu-Ray series 1 & 2) is also excellent, in fact for me it leaves nothing to be desired. I own the equivalent DVD set and this represents a significant improvement, though I don't expect any future release on any new format could better what's on offer here. There has been some rumours of a third chapter being in the works for this series, so if you are the kind of person that would be upset to not have the full set, then be aware, otherwise whether you are a fan of Ghost in the Shell or not, I highly recommend this set.
