I just got done watching season 1 of this series, 26 episodes in 7 DVDs. A very good series. Basically the Japanese Section 9 of Public Defense consists of eight or nine main members that fight crime and rescue people as needed. And they have a huge arsenal of weaponry and their cybernatic bodies too, plus my personal favorite, the Tachkoma think-tanks, which is why episode 25 made me cry. :D

I liked the movie it's all based off of, but never could get into the series....

Hey, is Kusinagi a dude? Sometime (I forgot when exactly), Batou is talking to Kusinagi, and he sez' something like "why do you choose that form then?"

Kinda made it seem like Kusinagi hasn't always been a guy...
