it's been a while since we last saw the major and Public Security Section 9 to long if if you ask me so you can imagine how excited i was when i first heard about ghost in the shell arise the The four part series that takes place years before the events of the first movie. in this series we get to see a whole new side to motoko kusanagi as a younger less self confident version of herself she's still displays the same stone cold demeanor that makes her such a good protagonist at the same time she also displays strong emotions mainly derived from hertroubled past and childhood.

without going into much detail and giving away spoilers the series takes place just as the major first meets aramaki and Section 9 and begins to help them on a case they are working on.

overall this first part of this four part OVA series is very well done although I may not
like subd anime that much I can appreciate it for what it is it is well done addition to the ghost in the shell series with amazing sound the characters with no one love and the iconic cyberpunk and futuristic story that rivals that of many others.
