Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex - Solid State Society: Uchikomatic Days
Synopsis
Uchikomatic Days is a 5 minute short telling the story of the birth of the Uchikomas, the 'ugly duckling' second generation think-tanks that made substandard replacement models for the Tachikomas. The short features a music performance by the A.I. Tough Guy Uchikomas, a group of rising stars that will provide entertainment at the Harima City for Academic Research New Year's Eve Party. This special feature is available on the Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society DVD.
Audience Consensus
The audience response is mild. Some find value in the explanation of the Uchikomas and their potential, while others criticize the lack of originality and simplistic visuals. It's generally considered a decent bonus for fans of the original series, but not particularly impactful on its own.
