Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex

Click on the above banner for a good flash intro to GITS.

Not sure why I like this anime. It seems to be a bit on the dark side - almost film noir. The TV show less so than the films, but even the TV show has some fairly dark episodes. And I do like the fact that The Major is one tough lady-cyborg!


Angels and Demons Circle above me,
Through the thorns to the Stars.

Only those unable to perceive its call do not know happiness.

Watch in awe, watch in awe.
Aeria Gloris, Aeria Gloris.
Watch in awe, watch in awe.
Aeria Gloris, Aeria Gloris.

I am calling, calling now,
Spirits rise and falling.

To remain myself longer.

Calling, calling,
in the depths of longing.

To remain myself longer.

Watch in awe, aeria gloris.
