Yeah, I'm impressed with this Ghost in the Shell stuff. I'm impressed with everything I've seen tonight except Bleach, actually.
You should check out Bleach from the beginning. I'm not sure if it'll impress you, but it'll definitely beat the filler episode you just saw. There's a lot of great stuff in the series. I imagine the series is available on Netflix or Hulu or something if you're interested.
