[Anime]Ghost in the shell STAND ALONE COMPLEX 2nd GIG (Kou kaku kidoutai)

Stand Alone Complex 2nd GIG uncovers a significant amount of back-story that was only vaguely talked about during the first series, including information about the last world wars. Between the turn of the century and 2032, there were two major conflicts that changed world politics. The first being nuclear World War III, and the other being non-nuclear World War IV, also known as the Second Vietnam War. The increase in independent states and sovereign regions grew from the chaos of the last 30 years. The planet remains divided and several locations exist on the planet where sovereignty is in question, where no one is really sure who owns or governs what.

While originally intended to "underscore the dilemmas and concerns that people would face if they relied too heavily on the new communications infrastructure," Stand Alone Complex eventually came to represent a phenomenon where unrelated, yet very similar actions of individuals create a seemingly concerted effort.

In the first series, it usually refers to events surrounding the Laughing Man case, and to some extent, the teamwork observed in Public Security Section 9. It is presented as an emergent phenomenon catalyzed by parallelization of the human psyche through the cyberbrain networks.

For the second series, when Kenji Kamiyama discussed the theme with Mamoru Oshii, they decided that they could not avoid the issue of war: "In other words, we simply couldn't ignore the way society had evolved since the events of 9-11: That was the approach we decided to take, and I tried to illustrate a 21st century (near-future) war. But to tell you the truth, I couldn't avoid feeding back into modern reality".

Patrick Sylvester's model is Yukio Mishima. And, the model of his book is Mishima's "Kindai Nohgaku Shu (Modern Noh Collection)". Because they had considered the copyright and the influence, his name became Sylvester.

It is possible that the term "GIG" has a double-meaning as both a 'gig' (a job) and the Global Information Grid (GIG), which is also the name of a communications network project of the United States Department of Defense that coordinates data in both cyberspace and in the real world (the battlefield).
