S01E01 Ghost Stands Alone, Part I
When terrorists hijack a peaceful protest, Motoko Kusanagi sees her chance to prove her new squad's worth.
The terrorist attacks on Newport City continue, and the shell squad isn't making much progress against them. Can Motoko accept help from a man made out of plain old flesh and blood?
The story follows Motoko Kusanagi, a highly skilled member of the military, whom upon meeting Daisuke Aramaki, a current chief of the Public Security Section 9, in less than desirable conditions struggles to clear her name whilst forming her own independent team with the highest priority under the sponsorship and guidance of the chief Aramaki himself. Alternative Architecture is a TV anime version of the Ghost in the Shell: Arise movies.
