I love watching...and the song

I have fond memories of staying up watching tv into the middle of the night on adult swim as a 11-12 year old and watching ghost in the shell. The whole show and especially the opening had such a profound enigmatic aura to me (partly because I had no idea what was going on) but I thought it was very intriguing. Now that I'm older and I watch it seriously, it really is a great show. A bit dense on the sci-fi but surprisingly coherent. This opening is awesome. This and Elfen Lied have such amazing atmosphere once you watch the show.

+David Medina (Rico) Because it's the future and humanity is trying to transcend the limitations of a human body, such as a finite lifespan, physical disabilities, and all death being final. The majority of humanity wishes to become cybernetic to be rid of this. One of the members of Section 9 is a rare example of someone who is completely human physically. No cyberization. Every organ is the original. The Major, the woman you saw here, is completely cyberized, and was as a child. The doll is from her childhood, when she tried to hold it and had the same issues real-life people with robot limbs have (yes, they exist). She tried to hold something in a closed hand without crushing it. Like most real-life people with robot arms, she couldn't control how much force the hand applied, and it crushed her doll. It's confirmed as the first time she ever cried about her robot arm. Because of the whole "robot" thing, humans who can afford to have cyberization and don't suffer the side-effects tend to have far longer lives, since machines may have a far shorter life span than humans (In real life, humans can live for a little longer than a century, and it's rare for this to happen. Our technology is lucky if it lives 5 years.) but machine parts can be hot-swapped (removed and replaced without deactivating the entire structure, in this case the human) with only the small penalty of relearning how to use the part. The spider-tanks are known as Tachikoma. This is their name and their model. They have the personality and voice of a small human child, yet despite their lack of streetsmarts (because they think like children), they tend to act with more wisdom. It's confirmed that, even though they can move themselves to other shells (the body for the tank), it's still a matter of being able to do that before dying, and the fear of death is more than real, because of humanity's belief that only humans have souls. Some members of Section 9 treat the Tachikoma (there are many of them, but Japanese uses context to determine plurality, so the plural form of Tachikoma is also Tachikoma) as if they were mentoring the Tachikoma as a student in an elementary school. Section 9 is reluctant to believe that Tachikoma do not also have souls. While humans strive for cyberization, Tachikoma tend to wish that they were human. Unlike humans, who can become cybernetic whenever they please, even if it is irreversible, Tachikoma can never become human. It will never happen. They composed their own nursery rhyme about what they would do if they were human. It's a cheery melody, but then you realize it's a group of robots who have a child's mind and are trapped as a robot that hardly anyone considers alive. They are in the same boat as humans with a physical disability that they COULDN'T adapt to. Think of it like this. Maybe you suffer from paralysis. Maybe you have a learning disability. Perhaps you're like me and physically cannot feel emotion despite knowing exactly what it is and what it does to someone. Just as I would see the potential for being able to feel joy even if it meant I would suffer at times too, The Tachikoma would gladly give up their ability to cheat final death by jumping, live as long as they pleased, and dual wield miniguns while skating on spider-legs, if it meant they could be human.

I actually really like the CGI in this intro. Motoko is looking like a PS2 JRPG character, it's a really charming style that I'm afraid will never surface again. Beautiful song too, they combine to form probably my favorite intro.

That wasn't Toonami. Toonami BARELY had anything rated higher than T between 1997 and its cancelation in 2008. Back then, it was a Saturday evening programming block, and it really couldn't get any more mature than that. Inuyasha was about the most mature anime Toonami had, but it didn't have it for long. Adult Swim's programming had a bunch of M-rated Anime among its lineup between 2000 and 2010. Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex, Inuyasha, Blue Gender, FLCL, Full Metal Alchemist [the original anime], Bleach, Samurai Champloo, Eureka Seven. All played between reruns of Family Guy, Home Movies, Futurama, and Space Ghost. Wasn't until Adult Swim's own original programming started to grow in popularity that the anime became rarer on [AS]. Then Toonami was relaunched as a Saturday Night/Early Sunday Morning block

much better than Cyberpunk Edgerunners

When this song came on I knew it was time for bed, but now it’s so nostalgic for me. Man time flies….

RIP to the woman who sang this song. Thank you.

Awesome anime series love it theres an epsiode where the major says that when she was a little girl she chrushed a doll with her bare hand which is in the intro the anime movie was great too i was in my teens 17 18 when this would have aired first time i caught the re runs in the late 2000’s around 2008 or 2009 picked up the complete collection to this show on blu ray a few years ago around 2019/2020 love this intro

For those curious I’ll toss this out there. When she was fully organic and still a child the Major was one of 2 survivors of a horrible plane crash. The young boy was almost nonfunctional except for his hand. A young Motoko Kusanagi was all but dead so they did a full body replacement to save her life ( the first of several she would require over her life). Her body was age appropriate and she tried to convince the boy to undergo the procedure. He did eventually but they lost contact. The broken doll is supposed to represent the Major’s lost childhood and loss of innocence. There’s an episode where a woman in an antique store explains it with the 2 child cyborg bodies which do not have brain cases fitted anymore. It’s implied the Major didn’t get a choice to go full body as she was near death and doctors felt it was the only way to save her life

Cyberpunk edgerunners music has nothing on this classic

This show's intro was so cool. I loved it as a kid. But the show was so slow and methodical, it drove my child mind insane.

I loved waking up/falling asleep to hearing this show's opening on late Saturday night Adult Swim during my adolescence/teen years. I never knew what was going on in this show, but I loved it regardless. Very nostalgic and such a beautiful song!

Yo this just brought me back to mp3 download apps and jailbreak and shit lmaooo from iphone 4 to 12 goddamn time flies

I seen this anime when I was like 15 man, still to this day it is one of my favorite anime openings ever. Origa had an incredible voice Rip

I have searched 9 years for this!

Still such a solid opening, with one of the best anime tracks around. I always loved GitS because it felt like 15 minutes in the future, just around the corner. One day soon we will have cyborg augmentation and be even more interconnected with the "net" than we are now. I would say we're at most 50 years away.

literally watched this yesterday before i went to sleep got chills woke up this morning watched it again, chills once more

Was this anime on Adult Swim, I swear I remember watching this at 2am/3am back in the day

Still one of the best opening songs for an anime series.

I literally CANNOT sleep without this song. It helps me slip into the deepest of my dreams. So beautiful.

this anime was made 19 years ago. unbelievable!!

Used to stay up very late to watch this on Adult Swim when I was in elementary school. Wasnt sure what the show was about but I loved the opening!

ill never forget taking "mushrooms" and watching this. i was completely blown away. even the title "ghost in the shell" has such a deep meaning.

you are wrong sir....... Within the show, the word "Ghost" is used to refer to someone's consciousness while a "shell" is the cybernetic body, much like the situation with Major Kusanagi.

@Ron. H. ok. what is the meaning Ron? I would like to hear what you know.

@Ron. H. you mentioned that ghost in the shell translates to mobile armored riot police. That doesn't make a lot of sense. Im just a little confused what your trying to prove here. Mobile armored riot police is the Japanese title . The title ghost in the shell has nothing to do with mobile armored riot police. That just sounds silly.

On god

staying up way to damn late when this came on

Watched GitS: SaC for the first time this afternoon, and I'm still obsessed with this OP. It's breathtaking, oh my god.

I remember whenever the opening of this happened on TV, I always freaked out in excitement. This opening is so freakin' cool.

I've had this stuck in my head for 10 years now. Send help.

Can't wait to be like 40 and find this (if KZread is still a thing) and get hit extremely hard with nostalgia (like nuke hard)

watching this on adultswim back in the day was good times. i literally just discovered "breakcore" on KZread and it reminded me of this opening song.

Best intro ever

The dam at the end, when the birds fly over it, oh it brings out memories. Aside from watching the anime back then, I also have the PS2 videogame based on it and the dam plays a role in it. One of the best game adaptations based on an anime, honestly, it had great character models, voice acting, story and locations true to the source it's based on. You can even play one level as a Tachikoma! YEY! XD

You know when it's 4 in the morning when you hear this song coming from your T.V.

When I was little, I used to watch it at night. Listening to it gives me peace and makes me feel different emotions.

I remember in elementary turning on the tv adult swim playing this intro. The song is stuck in my head for life.

Can you believe Hollywood's trying to turn an awesome anime like this into a real-life CGI movie? I'm still skeptical about anime/cartoon to live action movie transitions like this since The Last Airbender. Seriously, guys: if it's not broken, don't fix it!

I'll be honest, I really don't have any interest in watching the new movie. They've explicitly stated that the main character won't even be Motoko Kusanagi. Not only is she being played by Scarlet Johansson, but she's only ever going to be called "The Major". So, for all intents and purposes, she's not Motoko.

Florence MacKenna when did they state its not Mokoto Kusunagi? Also, why is Scarlett playing her a bad thing? Shes a good actress. They wouldn't hire her unless they wanted the movie to succeed because of how big her name is. Also, if its because she isn't Japanese, then please stop. Gigguk from the Anime Zone already brought this forward. So, please explain otherwise.

The PS2 graphics are a staple to this intro

I just got rewatch it

the main reason I love anime, the music.

Lol I remember being high as shyt and having no idea what was going on but never missing this on adult swim just to catch this intro

По ней будет очень не хватать. Много дней и ночей этой музыки в молодости. Прекрасное время в моей жизни. Спасибо Орига.

I remember this I was 5 in 2006 when I remember staying up watching it while my older brothers were asleep

This is the coolest opening I've ever seen.

I remember I would wake up for the intro at 6 am
