I don't like how Manga Entertainment have been pretty much promoting Solid State as the third installment in the movie franchise because although I like both Stand Lone Complex and the movies it's pretty clear to me that they are worlds apart in terms of how the story is depicted.

Personally I thought Solid State was a fantastic installment to the Stand Alone Complex franchise but I hope that it's not the last since there is a lot more life left in the series and a lot more room to explore in terms of characters. Same goes for the movie franchise although I wouldn't have said that if it werent for Innocence since although I enjoyed the first movie somewhat repeat viewings don't hold up to much and philosophy could be too much hard work with nothing else to really grasp on to as a story.

I will say this if they make a new series of Stand Alone Complex though... Bring back Batous ponytail!
