The Tubi streaming service is going for a solid classic with the addition of the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex series. The streamer has added the two seasons of the series here for streaming in its English dubbed form.
It joins several other titles on the service that include the two films, The Laughing Man, and Individual Eleven projects.
The 2002 TV series was directed by Kenji Kamiyama who worked on the series composition and saw scripts from Dai Sato and others. Based on the original manga by Masamune Shirow, Makoto Shimomura handled the character designs with Production I.G. on the animation production.
Plot concept: Major Kusanagi and Section 9 are called in to resolve a hostage crisis at a Geisha house staffed by an android Geisha. After the crisis is averted, Aramaki is approached by a friend of his in the military who reveals that one of the hostages in the Geisha house was under investigation after requesting a report detailing military actions to be taken in the event of various states of emergency. Given the sensitive nature of the case, Section 9 is therefore asked to pick up the investigation where the original team left off.
