Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Try https://everythingmoe.com/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

Oh yeah for sure. That's fine. Most of GitS is just "government is bad and corrupt" as a backdrop for sexy ladies and cool ideas about transhumanism. It has very little to say politically and is much more interesting as an exploration of the question of what makes us human or different to computers if we put ourselves in the computers?
I should note I'm not talking about the movie though, but the original 1989 manga and the new 2026 series adaptation of it.
Is the new series good? I only watched the anime movie.
It is an absolutely perfect 1:1 adaptation of the original source material leaving nothing out. I can not recommend it enough, it is very very good. The only thing I will say about it is that it requires concentration and moves very fast at times which can make mental processing of what's occurring slightly difficult if viewing casually. That's true of the original movie too though.
