in the shell

I'm mostely thinking about the story/setting.

If you look around at a few other topics you can find the answer to your question. The most striking difference is that unlike the end of the comic and the first (and second) movies, in SAC Motoko hasn't fused with the puppetmaster (yet?)

So so far in the TV series she still remains as Motoko.

i know this is old but can u plz explain this better so i can understand or post a link where I can get the answer

The show, the manga, and the movies are there own seperate incarnations of GITS.
