Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG

The story continues to follow the adventures of Section 9's top members, Motoko Kusanagi, Batou, and Togusa.

For this second season, Innocence-famed director Mamoru Oshii contributed with his ideas to the concept of the entire series right from the initial planning stages.

The series maintains an episodic format and portrays Section 9 dealing with political issues such as invited refugees and nuclear intrigue.

Another government institution, the Information Bureau of the Cabinet, comes up head-to-head against them.

And a terrorist entity who calls itself the "Individual Eleven" joins the set.

The in-depth storytelling of the series is likely to surpass the first series.
