What I like about Ghost in the Shell.

A lot of the time, it seems just boring enough that I can barely pay attention, but still interesting enough that I want to know what's going on. This adds to the repeat viewings.

For example, Aramaki's "divine retribution" comment at the end of Togusa's trial here. I hadn't ever paid attention to that before, and then Boma returning the wrecked car while the news reports on the "accident." Loved it.
Sometimes, even though you want to kill everyone, you have to know that killing just isn't the answer.

I've made that mistake too many times.

I like the fact that a woman is in charge is a big imporant branch of a government organization, and she's not a **pickle**. She cares abut her workers, yet she can kick ass!!! She's serious and take charge without being mean and socking them for no reason!

I liked how throughout the show and movies there was alot of philosophical stuff about how machines and humans aren't so different among other things. I also liked how they did this and kept quoting stuff from important philosophers and other people in GITS 2 Innocence. By the way, I agree with what you said about how you can barely pay attention alot of the time. Me too. The show is great, but most of the time there is little action and confusing dialogue.

for the first season i really like the laughing man episodes. i also liked the second season with the individual 11. i liked the conspiracies, technology and action.

I liked the Laughing Man too. But then again, I like ANYTHING with Steven Blum! That man is YUMMY!

Lost count around 47 or so. Still the best series ever.

I really like the pacing of this show. I don't think I have ever been bored while watching the show.

 

I really how the main story arc is spread out through the season. With more action filled episodes put in between to really keep the show interesting.

I gotta say, the Major's unique personality among female characters is part of what draws me to the series.
