Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex

An anime series off of Adult Swim, has two seasons: Ghost in the Shell: SAC and Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd GIG.

The series receives its subtitle from a theoretical mental complex attributed to the adaptation of cybernetics into the mass public. In the story, 'stand alone complex' is said to describe copies with no original and is portrayed by copycat crimes with no original criminal or, in other words, an imaginary criminal. It also refers to the structure of each first season episode: each episode can be viewed independently of each other, and there is little catch-up (if at all) given in each episode to keep the viewer up to date (unlike many anime series). The individual episodes are discreetly marked either "stand alone" or "complex" in the title screen. The "complex" episodes are more closely entwined with this encompassing plot, and the "stand alone" less so.

Taking place in a fictional city of Japan called New Port City in the year 2030, SAC tells the story of a special operations task-force called Public Security Section 9, or simply "Section 9". The series follows the exploits of Section 9's agents who range from ex-military to ex-police to even ex-mafia as they address each case and how it affects them on a personal level, eventually leading to the mysterious figure dubbed by the media as "The Laughing Man".

If you like nice action, deep stories, utterly BEAUTIFUL animation, and rich dialouge, watch it on Adult Swim. Or better yet, get the DVD releases- Amazon should have them.

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex is all around cyberpunk and politics. It is not made for the close-minded group of people; take that retarded, grammar-challenged flamer below here as an example.

Know as a cyberpunk classic, the series is about the time between the two movies "Ghost in the Shell" and "Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence" in which a cyber crime fighting unit known as Section 9 fights cyber warfare and keeps things in check from a cyber hacker known as the "Laughing Man."

I stayed up until 1:30 AM to watch Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex.

Back up singer complex

When an aspiring singer never makes it as a big star, they move forward in their life making sure they're always in the spotlight; even if it means making people feel bad about themselves.

I don't know why my man's mom is always trying to compete. Always trying to be in the spotlight, like she got back up singer complex or something.

Myspace angle ego-fatness complex

A chick with delusionally high self-worth regardless of high bodyfat and abrasive personality.

In sociology, this particular personality type is referred to as "fatness acquired retarded temperament" or "F.A.R.T." for short.

Snarky fat chick: "yeah I don't give my number to guys unless they make a really good first impression"
What everyone else is thinking: "uh... when has a guy asked for your number ever? lol"
Her therapist: "You seem to have a myspace angle ego-fatness complex, not unusual amongst your age group, treatment includes sucking a fat dick"
