Get the hipster complex mug.An anime series off of Adult Swim, has two seasons: Ghost in the Shell: SAC and Ghost in the Shell SAC 2nd GIG.
The series receives its subtitle from a theoretical mental complex attributed to the adaptation of cybernetics into the mass public. In the story, 'stand alone complex' is said to describe copies with no original and is portrayed by copycat crimes with no original criminal or, in other words, an imaginary criminal. It also refers to the structure of each first season episode: each episode can be viewed independently of each other, and there is little catch-up (if at all) given in each episode to keep the viewer up to date (unlike many anime series). The individual episodes are discreetly marked either "stand alone" or "complex" in the title screen. The "complex" episodes are more closely entwined with this encompassing plot, and the "stand alone" less so.
Taking place in a fictional city of Japan called New Port City in the year 2030, SAC tells the story of a special operations task-force called Public Security Section 9, or simply "Section 9". The series follows the exploits of Section 9's agents who range from ex-military to ex-police to even ex-mafia as they address each case and how it affects them on a personal level, eventually leading to the mysterious figure dubbed by the media as "The Laughing Man".
If you like nice action, deep stories, utterly BEAUTIFUL animation, and rich dialouge, watch it on Adult Swim. Or better yet, get the DVD releases- Amazon should have them.

Ghost in the Shell Stand Alone Complex is all around cyberpunk and politics. It is not made for the close-minded group of people; take that retarded, grammar-challenged flamer below here as an example.

Get the covincibility complex mug.A complex that effects generally sweet young women who usually have a dark side. They have a strange fascination with wealth and royalty, usually specifically being a princess or being treated like one by an ideal significant other or anyone else. They usually have an extremely expensive taste, and are obsessed with being seen as a magical ethereal creature by anyone who desires them. They may often be seen laying around the house in their Juicy Couture tracksuit all day, but in their head they always wear skirts and dresses and live in a castle. They usually have very few significant others because they are seen as too good for most people, and only the sweetest most talented and attractive people are on par with them. Since these people think of themselves as princesses they may also like to be called “princess” or similar nicknames.
