The Official Ghost in the Shell Thread

I just discovered this show recently since it began coming on after Full Metal Alchemist at 2am.
I've never really watched the show closely. I've just had it playing on the television while I was on the computer or trying to sleep. I've watched certain parts but never from start to finish and besides I am late to it probably.
I mean, I don't know what it's about, when it started playing and if they are reruns or new episodes.

But I must comment on the opening theme song.
The song that comes on in the beginning when the show is coming on. I really like the part that goes something like this. Well I can't really type it cause it's in a different language, but if anybody knows anything about the song in the beginning of Ghost in the Shell or know's what im talking about and likes it, let me know.
I'm gonna try and type the part I like anyway: "gorde de loru, gorde de loru, gorde de lorus."

I know that's not correct spelling but if you know the theme song and know the tune and say these words to your self you may know what part im talking about.

Well any insite about what this show is all about and any other pertaining and not pertaining to my questions above is also welcome.

So do you have a shell, and if so, is there a ghost in it?

Is it comprehensible.....

I've seen the movie but never really the show. Loved the movie though 😄

When did the movie come out?

I've saw something on the internet about the movie a while ago as I was searching for the Soundtrack from the show to buy.

the movie's name is Ghost in the Shell and it came out a looong time ago in 1996. i think they made a new one too or the people be hide ghost in the shell made some movie close to it, i really can't remember confused1

Well I bought the Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alond Complex Soundtrack a while ago online.

There were a couple different ones so hopefully I bought the one I was trying to get. The one with the opening theme song on it. That's the only reason I am getting it, for that one song.

It also a volume 2 one and them one with another subtitle besides Stand Alone.
Kind of confusing. My fingers are crossed.

Is it comprehensible.....

That movie is too amazing, one of the very best in my opinion. The animation is jaw-dropping.

Well hopefully in some miraculous way I will be able to see all of the episodes and then the movie.

How many season of the show were there?

But you weren't asking a question about the second season of Ghost in the Shell.

You are further confusing me b/c it wasn't in the form of a question.

Are you referring to me? I was making a comment in the thread unrelated to you, related to the movie.

Word of warning, I'm not everyone else. Do don't assume you can troll me and get away with it boy. I'll eat you for breakfast.

I wasn't talking to you and have no idea what you are talking about or who you are.

I finally got the Original Soundtrack in the mail. And so far the opening theme song is great. I could listen to it over and over again. I was hoping that it would be more longer than what's shown in the opening and I'm glad to say that it is. And it even has lyrics. I had no idea that some of the stuff being sang was English, mixed in with some other language, I'm guess japanese.

Is it comprehensible.....

New Episode of this show is coming on Next Saturday at 12:30am.

I would have never thought they would start new ones after this long while. As soon as I catch on to the show and the old episodes they start new ones. That's pretty convenient for me.

is it comprehensible.....

Here's the opening theme song for the show that I said I liked so much I got the Original Soundtrack of the show.
This isn't exactly the same. And isn't that complete, I found it on the internet, b/c I didn't feel like typing the lyrics myself.The song is actually longer than what is used in the opening scene, but you'll get the jist of it the song I'm talking about.

Inner Universe:

Angely i demony kruzhili nado mnoj
Razbivali ternii i zvyozdnye puti*
Ne znaet schast'ya tol'ko tot,
Kto ego zova ponyat' ne smog...

I am Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...

Stand alone... Where was life when it had a meaning...
Stand alone... Nothing's real anymore and...

...Beskonechnyj beg...
Poka zhiva ya mogu starat'sya na letu ne upast',
Ne razuchit'sya mechtat'...lyubit'...
...Beskonechnyj beg...

Calling Calling, For the place of knowing
There's more that what can be linked
Calling Calling, Never will I look away
For what life has left for me
Yearning Yearning, for what's left of loving

Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...
Calling Calling now, Spirits rise and falling
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...
Calling Calling, in the depth of longing
Soboj ostat'sya dol'she...

I may post the english version later.

Is it comprehensible.....

I also ordered the two more soundtrack CD's and both of the movies.
I'm becoming addicted to online buying.
After the Original Soundtrack that I just bought online that I have was my first onine purchase of anything ever. It's easier than I thought. And also fast.
And I'm just starting college so I got a card, so now I'm going crazy. Hopefully I'll be able to restrain myself soon, even though I think I'm gonna end up buying the first and second seasons of the series once I understand the difference between all of these "volumes" of everything, because frankly, I don't understand it. These things having 7 and 8 and more volumes and I don't know which one I want and what's on what and what's the difference between them.
Ugh, confusing. I'll also buy the Full Alchemist First and Second Seasons when I get the "Volume" thing down, maybe some soundtracks of the show.
My internet shopping addiction is far from over it seems.

Is it comprehensible.....

i wanna see it cuz the ppl that made it made my fave anime serice X

well....I loved the show...I saw the first season on Adult Swim...all of it I think..........well there are new episodes of the second season....I wanted to see it last night but fell asleep on my sofa....I loved that show alot...but nothing like Fullmetal Alchemist......

Oh my god!
I can't believe I completely forgot about the Second season of Ghost in the Shell. I even had it calendarized. I missed the show to watch crappy Saturday Night Live with Longoria.
God I'm mad. I don't know how I missed the alarm I set for the show, ugh!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I was really looking forward to the new opening movie and song for the show because I listen to the song on the soundtrack and I like it.
