I rather enjoy Innocence. I think the secret is to think of it as a spin off in the same world instead of an actual part of GITS. It was an attempt to continue from the end of the first movie which had painted itself into a corner. Shirow had the same problem with the manga. When SAC first came out they made a big deal about the idea that they were ignoring the end of the manga/first movie.

Innocence is a really trippy movie. Think of it as Oshii on acid. It works much better as a mood piece than as an action movie.

My first experience with GitS was with SAC and then 2nd Gig on adult swim, so they continue to be my favorites. Haven't seen Arise yet, and should probably fix that some time in the future...

Have a bunch of the collectors editions of 2nd Gig that I bought second-hand at BookOff, and I have a messenger bag that I take with me everywhere with the Laughing Man logo on it, along with a t-shirt that I wear to cons. Used to have a Laughing Man keychain as well, but that broke off a little while back. Still keep the decal around on my desk though.
