I've seen a few episodes.  It's good.  Lots of scenarios involving artificial
intelligence and the like.  It suffers from the same over-abundance of
bureaucratic drama as the GiTS movie, but if you can get past the section
6/section 9 crap, it's a good sci-fi show.  Definitely the smartest anime TV
series in years.

The animation isn't amazing, since it's made for broadcast . . . in particular,
the background paintings suck.  Some of the CG stuff is rather nice though.

Overall, enjoyable and thought-provoking.
