Watched the Solid Snake State Society movie today. It was alright - it doesn't beat the series imo, but I did enjoy it.
Now.... what to watch next 
But it wraps things up with Motoko, which is always nice :-)
And yeah, of course, it can't live up to the series 
Really wish that guy stuck around longer. Anyone that uses explosives to re-enact Power Rangers/Sentai pyrotechnics is the defininition of crazy awesome in my book.
To this day, three months later, I still make references to them.
Yeah, the show has an odd appeal that keeps you watching.
That odd appeal is called Yuno and Akise xD plus, Mirrai Nikki > Hunger Games. At least the movies.
