Lithium Flower

She's so cold and human
It's something humans do
She stays so golden solo
She's so number nine
She's incredible math
Just incredible math

And is she really human?
She's just so something new
A waking lithium flower
Just about to bloom
I smell lithium now
Smelling lithium now

How is she when she doesn't surf?
How is she when she doesn't surf?
How is she when she doesn't surf?
I wonder what she does when she wakes up?
When she wakes up

So matador
So calm
So oil on a fire
She's so good
She's so good
She's so goddess lithium flower
So sonic wave
Yeah, she's so groove, yeah
She's so groove
Yeah

Wow, where did she learn how to surf?
Wow, where did she learn how to surf?
Wow, where did she learn how to surf?
You know I've never seen the girl wipe out

How does she so perfectly surf?
How does she so perfectly surf?
How does she so perfectly surf?
I wonder what she does when she wakes up?

I wanna go surfing with her...

The Laughing Man & Individual Eleven
The series takes place in the year 2030 and 2032, where many people have become cyborgs with prosthetic bodies. Primarily set in the fictional Japanese city of Niihama, Niihama Prefecture (新浜県新浜市 Niihama-ken Niihama-shi/New Port City), the series follows the members of Public Security Section 9, a special-operations task-force made up of former military officers and police detectives, while the group investigates various crimes, both seasons feature ongoing investigations into two incidents that embroil the group in corruption within other branches of the Japanese government.

In 2024, the terrorist incident known as "The Laughing Man Incident" occurred in which Ernest Serano, president of the groundbreaking micromachine company, Sereno Genomics, was kidnapped and ransomed. One day, the case having remained unsolved for six years, Detective Yamaguchi, who has been investigating "The Laughing Man Incident," sends word that he wants to meet with Togusa from Public Safety Section 9. However, soon after sending this message, Yamaguchi, crucial to the success of the case, dies in an accident. Many days pass and in the midst of a police interview relay concerning suspicions behind interceptors, a forewarning is received from "The Laughing Man" of his next crime. The incorporeal hacker begins to move once again...

Two years have passed since the Laughing Man Incident was solved. About 3 million refugees are living in Japan, invited to fill the labor shortage. However, the emergent presence of the invited-refugees intensified their confrontation with the "Individualists", who called for national isolation, which then led to the increased incidences of terrorist attacks. Under these circumstances, a terrorist group called the Individual Eleven carries out a suicide attack. But there was a greater scheme behind their action. When Section 9 learns this, they attempt to nail down the mastermind of the incident.
Meanwhile, Kuze, a surviving member of the Individual Eleven, becomes a charismatic leader of the invited-refugees and intensifies the confrontation against the government. And Motoko starts feeling a strange sense of fate connecting her with Kuze...

Hard to believe this came out way back in 2003. In the anime takes place in 2030, which isn't far off now being 2019. But back in 2003 when this was made it seemed so far off and distant future. I love this anime, The Major, the most bad ass woman ever!

[otakubullfrog]

GitS:SAC is the best cyberpunk anime of all time.

[takeshiC]

One of the best written and produced manga series, superb story and awesome soundtracks.

[nicholascavanaugh]

RIP Atsuko Tanaka, voice of Kusanagi Motoko.

[pheenix]

A character written well enough to take your eye and leave you alive, then have you join her unit instead of killing you? That's amazing, right there.

[TheDecatonkeil]

Who is fucking pissed that this anime set the bar so high and made us think that this was what anime was going to be like? GITS: SAC from the first season to SSS is still untopped. Thankfully I could scratch that itch going back to classics such as Cowboy Bebop, Escaflowne and other great contemporaries with artistic integrity such as Planetes or Mushi-shi, or with the first season of Psycho-Pass, that, while a bit try-hard edgy, was a bit of a callback to this early 2000s golden age of adult, artistic anime... but it's a damn shame that this hasn't become the goal of anime production or even adult animation worldwide.

I grew up listening to this song while watching this video and I'll never get tired of this!

[verolly]

Wow I used to listen to this song non stop like an obsession.

[TheMayonakaTenshi]

Ghost In The Shell is one of my favorite anime shows and this video is absolutely amazing!!

[Pduarte]

Motoko Kusanagi is one of most hottest and cool anime character ! And GIT is one great franchise.
She's really a lithium flower :)

[kbforme]

Did anyone ever find out how she so perfectly surfs?

[animegod]

I had a crush on the major when I was 12

[nekomasteryoutube]

I'm slowly coming to the fact that we dont have this IRL.
I cried when I was done withh all og GTIS, the manga, the anime, the movies, etc
Its done, there will never be a Cyber punk anime That I like more than GITS

[kstart-iojr]

1🇺🇸🌈🎄, hmm 🗼 ., you want a lithium flower...then call it love . as she falls...

[Re_]

I bet, next year, GitS S.A.C fans, shall be recreating, The Serano Kidnapping, near any public, news reporter, they can find.

[GuillermoValleCosmos]

I am not that much into fiction, but I have to say that I'm so glad I've watched GITS. I just cannot imagine anyone cooler than the major. I actually had to expand my scale of coolness/badassness to accommodate her, and I love that.

[jhentai]

thanks for the lyrics! i got most of it, but wondered why he was wondering why she suffed!

[kta]

Пишу коментарий под видео 7ми летней давности. =) Это как достать раритетную вещь их ящика. Хочу сказать, что музыкк очень хорошая.

[dudeatos]

I'm gay, but Mokoto Kusanagi is hot af

[Dracotonis]
