It’s outstanding.

Others have already gone over the order to watch them all in, but I’ll repeat, all of Ghost in the Shell is so worth watching.

They may also melt your brain. Fair warning.

Ghost in the Shell (1995)
Ghost in the Shell:Innocence (2004)
Ghost in the Shell 2.0 (2008)
The 2008 one is simply a remastered version of the 1995 movie, so only go for that if old outdated animation gets in the way of your enjoying a good story.

The ones below are altogether a different continuity from the above titles.
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex (TV Series 2002–2005)
Ghost in the Shell: Solid State Society (TV 2006)

My way of getting people hooked in is to show em the first couple eps of the TV series. I found that showing the movies was over the heads of some people and so, they really couldn’t appreciate the world within. The intro eps into the series were better to ease you into the cyberpunk culture

Guess the owners are more about getting extra revenue than pissing off their readers. I have no problem with ads, but when they stop you from viewing the site, it’s kind of pointless. This isn’t the first time this has happened.

It is a strangely rewarding film, becoming more fulfilling after every viewing.

I was shocked at how well-made the TV series turned out. Yoko Kanno produced some of her finest music, and Production I.G. made a fully thought-out world. The third film is like a few more episodes.

The second film was a letdown, but picks up toward the end and becomes worthwhile for it. Was impressed by this trailer in the post, as it uses second movie footage almost exclusively, and I was more riveted by this presentation than the actual movie.

1st series
2nd series
3rd movie (Solid State Society)
1st movie
2nd movie (Innocence)

However, the series are in a different continuity/universe and the tone and style of the two franchises are worlds apart anyway. I would definitely recommend people to watch the first movie first followed by the 1st series, 2nd series. 3rd movie and 2nd movie would be optional in my opinion and would be watched in that order.

First movie is a must-see for every anime, sci-fi and/or movie fan. The third is just pure eyegasm. You dont need to watch the tv-series, but if you have the time for it, why not?

Oh and the scenes crowd vs police is from Jin-Roh, another great anime-masterpiece.

and
Anime –> 3rd Movie

First two movies don’t share continuity with the anime or the third movie.

Sadly that’s about the only true must-watch masterpiece.

The second movie was very good, fantastic animation, but not quite as good as the first one, and it can stand alone…almost no tie-in or knowledge of the first movie necessary.

Ignore the rest, i.e. the TV series, which became a sad joke in comparison.
