Ghost in the Shell SAC is a great series for those who like their anime dark, not over-the-top and thrilling.

The story is broken up into Stand-Alone-Episodes (Episodes that have their own story) and Complex-Episodes (Episodes that deal with the main story, the "Laughing Man"). While the former are great one-shots with decent action and occasionaly social/technological commentary regarding the world of Ghost in the shell, the latter episodes have got immensely suspense and a great overarching storyline. The story around the Laughing man is so well extrapolated from modern-day trends, that you will start to reflect on our modern medicine, economics and politics.
