I really liked the original movie, I’m not interested at all in the live action, but there seem to be so many anime tv shows and movies that I’m at a loss where to start except hopping through chronologically by production.

I’d like to avoid repeats, so I don’t really care about ovas.

I watched the original, I want to continue that story, but I have no idea if that’s how the story goes in all the subsequent productions I’m seeing.

so please without spoiling anything, explain which path I should take.

    Most GitS installments are unconnected. The only actuel sequel to the original movie is the followup movie “Innocence” which is a very different beast. You can find a complete relation graph on AniDB.

    My recommendation would be to watch the “Standalone Complex” series (2 seasons + 1 special) from the early 2000’s. It’s top tier even though the CG does show its age. Then if you want more you could go ahead and watch the “Arise” tv show from 2015, not bad but not as good as SAC.

    I would strongly advise against watching the recent Netflix-produced SAC_2045 : it’s painfully bad and ugly-looking.
