Could someone list in chronological order all the Ghost in the Shell Movies, Series, Specials and OVAs?
I'm trying to start watching the whole thing and as a completist i almost always follow chronological order, the GITS series is pretty confusing so i would appreciate if someone could help me by making a list

Ghost in the Shell (1998)
Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence

Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex 2nd Gig
Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex Solid State Society

Ghost in the Shell Arise Border 1-4
Ghost in the Shell Arise TV (Last two episodes are new content, the rest is just the previous movies in TV format)
Ghost in the Shell: The New Movie (fucking awful title)

I should point out that this isn't in strict chronological order because the first season of stand alone complex aired before the release of Innocence, but since they're different continuities I think it's better to watch them as their own sets.

You don't have to watch any of it obviously, but a lot of people (myself included) like the Stand Alone Complex series better than those movies so you might as well at least give it a try if you're interested in Ghost in the Shell in general.

I never wanted to find a reasonable list so hard. I searched some of the internet and all i saw was some random order without sense. Myanimelist prequel / sequel system for poorly and confusingly thought productions is not fit, so there i have it. Thank you for the list!

Thank you very much for the list!


I even had the time to squeeze in a shower during that time frame. Just because someone does something differently doesn't make it any less real.
