Take my money Production I. G. Any doubt that I had left whether the story would remain the same is essentially gone after episode 2. This was very well done which continued with the GitS tradition without breaking a stride. Masamune Shirow, you can continue to draw porn. You aren't needed anymore.
The music is so good. I think I've heard the ending song for at least 6 times. I've lost count. The story was simply fantastic. Simple and told in a fashion that satisfied the scifi geek in me with a touch of mystery and detective work. Batou and Paz are truly badasses. That quick draw by Batou was just........ I love Production I. G so much for the effort they put in to animate simple movement. Thank you sincerely. I haven't been this high watching an anime episode since, well since Annie from Attack on Titan exploded.
Lastly, just ordered the collector's edition from Rightstuf for episode 1.
