Two years have past since Section 9 was forcefully disbanded by the Umibozu. In that time Section 9?s members have regrouped, their headquarters have been reconstructed, and they have resumed their previous role as a special forces team that specializes in cyber warfare. Unfortunately, the team exists in a sort of "black hole": although the group has reformed they are operating without the consent of the Japanese government because the Special Forces Restriction Bill was used to dismantle the group. Masamune Shirow's groundbreaking cyberpunk thriller is back again in an exciting new anime series - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG! Major Motoko Kusanagi and Section 9 continue to fight terrorists in both the real and on-line worlds. Acclaimed anime directors Mamoru Oshii (Ghost in the Shell) and Kenji Kamiyama (Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Season One) have teamed up with the award-winning animation staff at Japan's acclaimed Production I.G studio to bring you the most exciting and highly-anticipated new series of the year - Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG.
