Agreed. The Stand Alone Complex series specifically is far profounder than Black Mirror and Mr. Robot and even the original GITS film by Mamoru Oshii (except SAC 2045, though that happened to predict not the pandemic but the global recession it caused, also while it was ridiculous at the time which is the reason I dismissed it, the Post-Human super-intelligence resulting from a mere algorithm virus is essentially a local LLM now, so that really blew my mind; also the reference to the then cliche 1984 book is now more relevant than ever, possibly the most relevant book today). This is mainly because the writers of SAC used a media ecology framework for analyzing the current state of human-machine interaction, and extrapolated from there, where the explored extrapolations are experimental social network topologies with humans, cyber-brains, and machines interfacing within this network, with the movie Solid State Society (not included in this bundle) based on the rhizome social network (non-hierarchical, decentralized) by Deleuze and Guattari. 1st Gig used a Catcher in the Rye motif, even the metafiction short story in it, and explored the extremes of 2ch-style anonymous hive mind that predated 4chan and Anonymous. 2nd Gig is a genius geopolitical stance about Japan's (still current) status as a de facto puppet state as a defeated country, where the plot features a "hero" character "produced" by foreign intelligence, who ultimately subverts this producer-actor relationship where the producer ends up becoming a side-character to an act driven by pure virtue, so without spoiling details, it is a "safe" subversion where Japan gets to keep its dignity and most importantly agency while acknowledging its defeat and current subjugation by an all-powerful empire (America; it makes no pretenses about how extremely powerful the US is, which heightens the weight of its subversion). Mr. Robot while the most technically accurate depiction of Def Con level expertise (they literally hired the top pros in the industry) its anti-capitalist plot is as deep as Fight Club's which it doesn't hide as the main inspiration, which is to say it is not based on the existing academic dialog and research about capitalism, just some "fark the rich" sentiment that gets easily labeled as "commie" by uneducated recipients of state welfare, even billionaires who are recipients of corporate welfare (note the irony here if it isn't already obvious). On the other hand, SAC was written by a legit scholar of Marxist economics (Marxist here is not limited to Marx's outdated Das Kapital but the more than a century's worth of literature advancing it to apply to the current state of capitalist evolution, e.g. Adorno's culture industry, even Gramsci's cultural hegemony), so it also introduced roles of fiscal currency where when they were writing SAC the Euro was just introduced to the world. Black Mirror is cool in a Twilight Zone sort of way and is definitely more up to date about current technologies than the much much older SAC. Honestly SAC with Yoko Kanno music and groundbreaking Studio Orange founder 3D animation AND featuring the last of real cel animation make this bundle so worth it even if you watch it with your brain shut off.

Box Set of 52 Episodes for $9.99 at Apple and Fandango. Note: TV series purchased for a streaming library through iTunes/Apple Store will not cross populate to your Fandango at Home or Amazon digital libraries like most movies do. Where you buy it is where you watch it.

Fandango had it listed as $155 for the complete HDX set. That seems insanely over inflated. You can buy the series on Blu-ray part one and part two for a little under 50 bucks.

This is the real deal. I was going to buy physically, and maybe still will, but $10 for the whole series is definitely worth it. Dub is amazing.

Looks like it's only in English. Was hoping for the original Japanese. Apple TV is especially frustrating about not including the correct languages in their anime box sets

And this is why I never buy digital media. It's renting, not purchasing.
