The biggest change between SAC and either of the movies is that the focus is not on "individuality". Where the series really shines though is in the complexity of it's story, characters and setting.
This has caused a certain amount of confusion for some people who were expecting a series that developed in the manner a "normal" anime would, especially as the Stand Alone and Complex episodes were interspersed with each other. The Stand Alone episodes focus on the work of Section 9 as they investigate various cases, while the Complex episodes focus on the main plot - The Laughing Man. SAC isn't a sequential series, and is actually made up of two completely different plot elements - Stand Alone and Complex. The series however, deviates from the movie's premise in a number of ways, some of which are not obvious at first, partly because of how the series is laid out.
work of Philip K Dick and William Gibson. The original movie proposed a disturbingly plausible future for mankind that is akin to the Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex is a series that really doesn't need any introduction. managed to put everyone's fears to rest though, just not in the way we all expected (I'll explain in a bit). Many anime fans consider the 1995 movie "Ghost in the Shell" to be a classic of the first order so when the Stand Alone Complex series was released six years later, many were sceptical as to how good it would actually be (and I will admit to being one of those people).
