Koukaku Kidoutai: Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG
|
2nd GIG shares the same episodic and suspenseful thrill as Monster. 2nd GIG explores the geo-political structure of the near future with the birth of technology; the adverse affects, the positives, the philosophical questioning of individuality and god among a system of connected Shells. Whereas Monster is focused more on Johan and its characters; the product of an extreme case of true nihilism. A product of greed, desperation and kindness. Although different fundamentally regarding their topics and overall tone, both share great elements of story structure and presentation. Both have great music and can be considered a "non-battle" anime.
