great smart anime
I disagreed with the reviewer on the stars rating. This anime masterpice diserved at least 4 stars! It's a thought provoking, intelligent anime masterpiece. It can be a bit violent though. Mostly 15+ material but one which had a storyline involving videos of women being skinned alive is really disturbing and should not be viewed by children it even disturbed me. Overall a great anime for older teens but do NOT let anyone under 17 see the jungle boogie episode.

a good, thought provoking anime
This anime looks in depth at some philosophical aspects of life. At one point or another, there is a time when several characters begin to question the connection between life and the body. Also, female protagonist is a very strong woman who (in most American media) isn't seen much often.

Very good but lots of adult content.
The character swear alot, blood flys everywhere, and there is quite a bit of skin and some nudity. At its core though, it is quite a very good, intelligent, and complex show. Not for kids unless they are very mature. If you want to preveiw the worst this show can throw at you, go to animefreak.tv, go under the anime A-Z, go to the G section and select Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex. Watch episodes ten and eleven (though this is mainly for the full body shot of a nude angel statue than anything other not found in episode ten). If you thing your kids can handle that, they can watch the whole season no problem.
