ADL: I don't think you're going to get bashed here. I haven't heard the whole GitS soundtrack but what I have heard was pretty good.

I have watched Mononoke Hime and Escaflowne and I agree with Darkware, their soundtracks rocked.

On a side note I hated the Escaflowne movie. Instead of taking a good series and adding to it the movie goes and mucks the whole thing up. Ahh just my seven cents thats all.
