Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex/Nightmare Fuel

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • The episode 'Jungle Cruise'. A killer who skins his victims alive and leaves them in great pain to die a while after it? Check. Showing the victims in all the gory detail? Check. Showing a video of the killer beginning to skin his victims alive, including a scream which consisted of pure blood-chilling agony? Check. This particular episode was gruesome enough to get a warning on Adult Swim. ADULT SWIM, people!
  • There's also the time the Major fires an anti-tank gun into an armored suit from point-blank while the guy inside is screaming in terror, though that's unintentionally creepy.
  • In the first movie, a driver stops at certain terminals to do something for his girlfriend, to his partner's irritation. When Batou catches up to him, he points out that, just like the other victims, the driver doesn't remember his "girlfriend's" name, or even what she looks like. His brain's been hacked. Given that the Major herself regularly hacks Batou's brain to make him punch himself.
