# Aeria Gloris

So here's where a review class of posts would come in handy, because I've *really* been digging on [Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex][gits].  The opening theme, "Inner Universe", really snares me in and the post-human story-lines have been great.  And I just recently realized that Yoko Kanno did the music for the show--which has all been brilliant, just like what she did for [Cowboy Bebop][cowboy].

            <div class="content">That series is quite addictive. My doctoral advisor is Bulgarian and speaks Russian fluently. I had her do her own translation of the Russian bits of the lyrics. It was close to the subtitled copies I've seen, but there are some puns in there, apparently.

Ahhh, Yoko Kanno. Such genius.</div>
