The movies, manga, and show are all seperate continuities in a sense. Personally, I prefer the SAC series over the rest. It has a depth I found lacking in the manga and has time to explore the themes that the movies don't. However the show is a lot more political than the movies, but still brings in plenty of action. I really need to buy the first season and finish collecting the second. GitS: SAC is easily one of the 10 best shows I've seen. Pain or damage don't end the world, or despair or beatings.
The world ends when you're dead. Until then you've got more punishment in store.
Stand it like a man, and give some back. |

Ghost in the Shell the Movie and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence tie into each other... and have nothing to do with Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex at all... it's its own continuity... although with the same main characters (which causes the confusion)
Stand Alone Complex however has it's own movie (not available in English here yet) called "Solid State Society" (cool name, I wish I thought of it) that takes place after the conclusion of the series... SAC is 2 seasons, 52 episodes...
I've yet to watch Solid State, but rumor has it the very last line/scene makes reference to the beginning of Ghost in the Shell the Movie (original)... although the two are supposed to have nothing at all to do with each other. It's just a nod the one show made to the other I guess...
Solid State Society is rumored not to be the end end of the SAC Universe as a side note.
The series is definitely worth checking out if you're into anime with high tech motifs. It's enjoyable but requires thinking... they're very philosophical... and it's for the most part a giant story arch so you have to pay attention and remember things from episode to episode. I found the movies to be a bit harder to follow and the series to actually be better (I like the character models more in SAC too). I like the concepts and I can see why the Matrix writers bit so hard off it.
Enjoy.
One day I'll finish my Transformers fan art... one day, maybe.

Even the English dubbed version is great (though I haven't watched in it Japanese, as I think the English dub is spot on with the voice cast). Now where is my 1:1 scale Tachikoma? Looking for/forward to: BT Broadblast, Rodimus, clear Mirage; MP Grimlock; ML AXM Beast?
