Also folks because I have the old Bandai "Anime Legends" set all I'm gonna say is this is another episode that it decided it didn't like my PS4 so renting it on Prime to wrap the night!

Also if I'm behind...it's Ghost in the Shell and I keep getting distracted by other stuff. I'd rather take my time and absorb the episode to get the full meaning of it.

Next week, we start the final disc as we start with Togusa seeking the only lead he has on The Laughing Man. "Vanished Medication – RE-VIEW!" #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

We get the Tachikoma short as we see two of the tanks see how to get back in use again. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Just your standard Section 9 flair. Lot of fun to watch and follow, but nothing big...

That starts next week. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

So...turns out when you piss off your bosses in the mafia, they know how go low. That list the woman was given had the daughter on it ON PURPOSE as they were banking that she wouldn't have a clue and get screwed in the long game. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Well, naturally, she calls home (The Russian Embassy) and wants fake papers for her so she can dot her I's and all that...except Russia decides it's better to toss her to the wolves instead. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Well, word gets out who the one eyed old young lady yoinked and NOBODY wants to help her on the ground sof, well...it's one thing when you kidnap the brat of a billionaire or an arms dealer...it's another when the brat is a kid of the former PM... #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Oh, also? Yeah, that one eyed woman has a young body...but an old ghost as she has a cybernetic body that looks young but is actually 80. So, the plan to make sure the Russians don't house her? Announce they yoinked the ex-PM's kid. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

*BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM*

I, uh, think they found 'em. Oh, and Batou knows who the one eyed woman is, used to be with a group he knows. And yep, it's confirmed, this was a Northern Territory's kidnapping. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Batou and Togusa go to the Northern Territories, where it's thought they might be behind the kidnappings...and low and behold, the first stop is right on the money. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

So, turns out this was all to get healthy organs and cyber implants...oh, and some of the hostages know that her dad said the situation they're all in can't POSSIBLY exist, so they're happy to see her. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

So, it might not be Ivan on the grounds that the former PM, due to his own stupidity, became an accidental ally and it might be somebody else who didn't know who they got, so the idea is to try to be as discreet as possible...or everybody's gonna die. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Well, this might hit home for the former PM as he actually DENIED the abductions as Russia was tied to it and he had to play everything low to keep the peace.

Oh yeah, no sense of karma here, huh? Aramaki believes they didn't even KNOW who they took. #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Turns out this was one of those cases where security and nobody didn't see nothin' (Complete with the camera glitching) and it sounds familiar to them, a group of traffickers known as "Blindfold Ivan." #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

We open with a girl seeing a guy taking out two other girls as she's waiting for someone...then *YOINK* #GhostInTheShell #StandAloneComplex

Time for Tachikoma Days and it looks like we're seeing 'em in Heaven as they got halos on their heads. #GhostInTheShell #StandALoneComplex

Also folks it happens! For example I'm one of the few folks that watched the entire run of Kekkashi on adult swim and Monster on SyFy. Certain shows I just missed the boat on!

It's always funny how I completely missed out on Ghost in the Shell airing on Adult Swim Action/Toonami so this is my 1st dedicated watch!
