I just want to jump in here and say that I absolutely love the first GITS movie and still watch it every now and then if I know a friend hasn't seen it. Been that way since i first saw it in high school. However I don't know shit about any of the sequels or series. I watched a little bit of the series, and I did watch one sequel movie at least but I dunno, I guess it was just so forgettable or left such a bad taste that I wrote it off as crap, especially compared to the original.
Is that normal or am I missing something? Is it worth it to go back and watch some of the other stuff?
