I'am. I like the show although I haven't seen it in ages and I can't fully remember what it's about.

Excellent show, one of the few I'd rate a 10/10.
Very good plot, interesting characters. I found it to be deeply engaging and a great look into cyberization. HIGHLY recommended for those who haven't seen it. Stick with it and you won't be disappointed.

What's it about again?
This show might be a bit "risky" to discuss on this board. If you guys want to talk about anime, I always
suggest trying the Anime News Network message boards. Just don't ask for suggestions/recomendations, cause
they don't like those kinds of topics (there is a "sticky" board that you can find out about shows of various genres).
The reason I say this show might be a bit "risky" is cause it did run on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim block,
and some of the people on this board might be a bit too young to watch it.
Personally I have never seen it, though I have kind of been meaning to get around to it.

Not Cowboy Bebop and therefore not good. I have stated my opinions without any rational reasoning other than Cowboy Bebop being the best anime of all time. I would also like to add that I hardly watch anime and thus am not a good judge of anime. In fact, I only watched Cowboy Bebop because I was bored and just so happened to like it.
Now I am off to spam your Facebook wall Simon Brundage, and there isn't a thing you can do about it.
Perhaps I'll make it even better than I had originally planned.

Masamune Shirow is a freakin genius man, read the GITS manga its awesome. I love the Idea of people being able to get a fully prosthetic body, that is absolutely fascinating to me! Imagine putting your brain into a super powerful android body. And how about those tachikomas? The spider tanks? I love ghost in the shell

You all must be talking about the ghost in the shell series, stand alone complex? IDK, I havent seen the whole thing but what I did see was awesome. Ghost in the shell was originally a manga written and illustrated by masamune shirow, a legendary manga ka known for his amazing sci-fi drawings. The manga was then turned into a feature length film also called ghost in the shell, this movie is a must see for all fans of the tv series. It will get you into the world, and you'll learn Motoko and section 9's backstory. Also there is a short series of comics titled GITS: man machine interface by shirow which is also freakin awesome.
Basically its about a japan defense organization called section 9 that handles all sorts of cyber terrorism and stuff like that. I think it asks the question ,"what makes us human?" major motoko kusanagi is a human, but her entire body is fully prosthetic. So is she still human when no part of her body still is? There is great action, but this anime is for the thinker for sure, delving into all sorts of theorie and complicated plot lines.

BTW there is a new series (well new on DVD/Blu-Ray) that is called Eden of the East. It says on the
cover from the makers of Ghost In The Shell and Moribito, so it could be pretty good (have not seen it).
BTW speaking of Moribito, that was a really good show. Too bad that it seemed to get a lot of "flak" from
the internet message boards (well at least the ones on GameFaqs) about it being "boring". Even though
those same people loved Death Note, a show with even less action than Moribito had.
Since I got a 6 month Netflix gift account, I will definately try to get the DVDs of GITS.

You made the mistake of taking gamefaqs seriously.
