GitS = Ghost in the shell It was a movie and then I believe it was broken up into 6 OAV or something like that. Ghost in the Shell 2 was released as a book (just like the first one) and is either now or was just finished being made into an anime.
I agree that most kids don't like good animes, but I think thats because most of the better animes were "kiddified" so that they could be played over here. Take sailormoon for example. Its the biggest example of kiddified that I can think of. From what I have heard it was basically a soap opera over in Japan with nude scenes and everything. There are also lesbians and cross dresses and other things in it.
Its now been made so that 6 year old girls can watch it. No nude scenes, no lesbian kisses (no lesbians at all actually, they made them into "cousins") Later in the series there are guys that the sailor scouts fall in love with, that when they "power up" transform into girls (least thats what I've heard and read)
DBZ is almost as bad, but wasn't kiddified as much. There is this one sceen thou that Gokou is trying to fall asleep and puts his head on bulmas lap. It feels different so he feels her with his hand (while shes asleep) He then takes off her underware and screams out something like "your pee pee is gone, someone stole it!!!!" This is just after he met her in dragonball series and at that point he had not seen a women only his grandfather.
Anyway, alot of the old cartoons are wicked because thats what we grew up with.
