Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Project is teaming up with City Ambient Project, a new label from the brand SHIPS, to offer four new tees depicting memorable moments from the series. The four black tees each feature a scene from an episode of the anime — one each from Episodes 11, 12, 15 and 23. The back of each tee features text from the series or a logo design.

The original Stand Alone Complex anime series directed by Kenji Kamiyama at Production I.G ran for 52 episodes from 2002 to 2005. Kodansha USA publishes a digital version of the original The Ghost in the Shell manga and describes the story of the series: Deep into the twenty-first century, the line between man and machine has been inexorably blurred as humans rely on the enhancement of mechanical implants and robots are upgraded with human tissue. In this rapidly converging landscape, cyborg superagent Major Motoko Kusanagi is charged to track down the craftiest and most dangerous terrorists and cybercriminals, including “ghost hackers” who are capable of exploiting the human/machine interfance and reprogramming humans to become puppets to carry out the hackers’ criminal ends. When Major Kusanagi tracks the cybertrail of one such master hacker, the Puppeteer, her quest leads her into a world beyond information and technology where the very nature of consciousness and the human soul are turned upside down.
