Negative Positive
Title: More "concrete" than Series One
Review: In Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series one, the primary villains of the series act through proxies and never really reveal themselves.In season two, we are introduced to a real villain, a product of future Japan's equivalent of the CIA.Much as in series one, series two involves a shadow war between the good guys (represented by Section 9) and the bad guys (who also have their own place in the government of Japan).I would say that the main difference between the two series is that series two is less focused on flashy technology (highly advanced technology is a big mover in the plot) and more on John le Carré type shadow warfare between the powerful Section 9 and their adversaries who may be even more powerful in their mastery of the future's complicated technology.Anyway, I certainly recommend this series to fans of the Ghost in the Shell universe, and too people who like their spy stories with a healthy dose of grimness.
