If you meant which film preceded the anime series then it would have been Ghost in the Shell itself and then Ghost in the Shell 2 : Innocence which spawned the series Ghost in the Shell : Stand Alone Complex 1st and 2nd Gigs then the film Solid State Society . The Manga, by Masamune Shirow , came before them all and was later adapted into the films and series as well as three prose books .

The movies and TV series are set in alternate universes. Ghost in the Shell is set in 2029 and Ghost in the Shell 2: Innocence takes place 3 years later in 2032. The television series starts off in the year 2030. However, the third film Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. Solid State Society follows up on many of the events that ended the second season Ghost in the Shell: S.A.C. 2nd GIG.

The films and series were set within different timelines ~ see related link below .

Baka >_> Anime is originally from Japan. You can look it up on the internet. Anime - Japanese animated movie a.k.a. cartoon! And to top it all of, it always says Japanese series or something similar to that. And the artists of all anime like Naruto, Inuyasha, DBZ ect. are from JAPAN! [I <3 Japan x3] japan, japan, japan...anyway, you can tell the difference between Japanese and Chinese language immediatelly...they're completely different, so telling what anime is from japan and what from china, won't really be a problem for those who watch anime regulary ^^Yes and there are more than just Japanese anime as well...but Anime is originally from japan yet it is based off of Disney which is kinda weird...-.-"

I think it's more a matter of opinion but if you look at what people call "cartoons" and what people call "anime" then I would consider anime to be more Japanese than cartoons. Usually though, if it's stupid I consider it to be a cartoon.
